Silicone injection removal with laser
Siliconomas cannot be removed or vaporized with laser using the technologiy available to date. I would opt for more predictable and plausible alternatives.

Siliconoma
I know of no specific laser that can treat silicone granulomas. Sometimes low-dose steroid injections may help the inflammation. The only treatment that I know of that works is direct surgical excision.
