Laser wart, skin tag, and seborrheic keratosis removal in Victoria, BC, offers a safe, precise, and minimally invasive way to treat common benign skin growths. At Vitality Laser Clinic, I use the Alexandrite laser for gentle, effective treatment with minimal risk of scarring.
Warts are benign skin growths caused by various strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). Common warts usually appear on the hands and fingers, plantar warts on the soles, and genital warts in the genital area. Though all warts stem from HPV, the virus’s subtypes explain their different appearance and behavior. Warts are contagious and may enlarge or spread if untreated.
Laser wart removal uses focused light energy that converts to heat within the wart tissue. This destroys infected cells and seals tiny vessels feeding the wart while killing the virus itself. The treatment is superficial—no blood or drainage—and typically involves little to no downtime. You can resume normal activities immediately.
Clinical studies show clearance rates around 80–90 % for plantar warts using long-pulse Nd: YAG and Alexandrite lasers. Compared with older methods like cryotherapy or acids, laser treatment offers higher success and lower scarring risk.
To prevent viral plume exposure, wart treatments are scheduled at the end of the day, followed by thorough room sanitation.
Most warts need 2–6 sessions, depending on wart type, duration, and prior self-treatment that may have created scar tissue. Sessions are spaced every four weeks.

Client Review
Skin tags (acrochordons) are harmless growths of excess skin, usually appearing in friction areas like the neck, underarms, or groin. Hormonal changes—especially during pregnancy—can encourage their development. They can match your skin tone or appear slightly darker and may become irritated by jewelry or clothing.
I use the Alexandrite laser to close the small blood supply at the base of each tag. It’s clean, precise, and minimizes scarring. Most clients find the cold cryogen pulse more surprising than painful. Once a tag is fully removed, it rarely regrows, though new ones may appear over time.
Client Review
Seborrheic keratoses are benign overgrowths of skin cells, often seen as slightly raised, waxy, or scaly spots ranging from pale to very dark brown. They sit on the surface and look “stuck on.”
Each SK begins when one ordinary skin cell makes a small copying error in its DNA while dividing. That tiny glitch tells the cell to keep multiplying instead of stopping. Over time, that cluster of overactive keratinocytes thickens and forms a patch rich in keratin and pigment. These errors become more common with age because our skin cells have divided millions of times and endured years of sun exposure, oxygen, and environmental stress. In simple terms, SKs are a harmless side effect of time—a few skin cells that forgot when to quit growing.

The treated area may be tender for a few days. If pain seems excessive or reactions occur within 48 hours, contact the clinic.
Keep the area clean, covered, and avoid picking. Covering with duct tape can assist in clearance and limit reinfection from shoes. Wash socks inside out and freeze shoes before and after treatment.
Most clients describe a warm snapping sensation. Topical numbing is available if needed.
Pricing depends on size and the number of growths. Consultations are available to assess before treatment.
