Skin Tag Removal

In Arcadia, CA

Skin tags might appear to be small, but they can be a bigger annoyance than you think. They often develop in places where your skin rubs together, like your neck, underarms, eyelids, or groin. They can get snagged on jewelry or clothing, become irritated from shaving, or can even cause pain when they get caught on something. Aside from the physical issues they can cause, skin tags can also make you feel embarrassed or self-conscious when they show up in visible areas like your face or neck. Arcadia Live Oak Med Spa offers skin tag removal in CA that can help alleviate these issues and give you the clear, smooth skin you desire.

What Is Skin Tag Removal?

A skin tag is an extra little bit of skin that sticks out from the surface of your body and is normally fairly small and close to the same color as your skin. Most look like a tiny bump or flap of skin, and they can hang from a short stalk. They can usually be removed by a licensed, board-certified doctor during a quick in-office procedure.

How Are Skin Tags Removed?

Every skin tag removal treatment performed at Arcadia Live Oak Med Spa is done with the highest standard of care and centered around your comfort and safety. Our specialists use proven techniques and methods like cryotherapy, cauterization, and laser energy to eliminate skin tags without damaging the skin around them. These treatments are minimally invasive, can be done quickly, and require very little to no downtime. Your skin tag removal treatment will be determined and customized to target your needs to eliminate a single skin tag or multiple skin tags if needed.

Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy uses controlled bursts of liquid nitrogen to precisely target and freeze the skin tag. The cold temperature cuts off its blood supply, which causes it to dry out and fall off naturally within a few days. Cryotherapy is quick and usually only takes a few minutes to perform, with the freezing process lasting less than a minute for each skin tag. After treatment, each tag will begin to dry out, darken, and eventually fall off and leave behind smoother, clearer skin. It may take about one to two weeks for the area to completely heal.

Cauterization

A small handheld device is used to carefully heat up and burn away the base of the skin tag, which instantly seals the skin and reduces the risks of bleeding or infection. The treatment is fast and takes only a few minutes to complete. Most people heal very quickly after cauterization, and the aftercare is minimal.

Laser Removal

This technique uses a precisely targeted beam of laser light to remove the skin tag without affecting any of the surrounding skin. The laser is able to target the skin tag with such extreme accuracy that it helps prevent scarring, redness, swelling, or creating an uneven texture. Most people feel that skin tag removal with the laser offers the best cosmetic results and leaves the treated skin looking smooth and even, with no visible trace of the skin tag.

Benefits Of Skin Tag Removal

When these treatments are performed by a licensed professional, they offer permanent results, and those skin tags will not return.
