Skin Tags

What are Skin Tags? Skin tags (acrochordons) are small, benign growths that typically appear as soft, flesh-colored or slightly darker lumps hanging off the skin by a thin stalk. They are commonly found in areas where skin rubs against skin or clothing.

Key Causes:

• Genetics: Family history often plays a significant role.

• Friction: Frequent skin-on-skin contact in areas like the neck or armpits.

• Hormonal changes: Often seen during pregnancy or due to metabolic factors.

Corns and Warts

Corns: Thickened areas of skin that develop due to pressure or friction, often on the feet. They can be painful and impact mobility if left untreated.

Warts: Rough, benign growths caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). They are contagious and can spread to other parts of the body or other people if not addressed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the removal of skin tags or moles painful?
We use a local anesthetic or numbing cream before the procedure, making it virtually painless. Most patients only feel a slight sensation during the numbing process.

Will there be a scar after the removal?
Our CO2 laser technology is highly precise and minimizes damage to the surrounding skin. While a small mark may remain initially, it usually fades significantly over time.

How long does the procedure take?
Most removals take only 5 to 15 minutes per lesion. You can resume your daily activities immediately after the treatment.
