Effective Skin Tag Removal in Wilmington, MA

Fresh Start Skincare & Laser specializes in effective skin tag removal in Wilmington, MA. If you’re dealing with an irritating or cosmetically undesirable skin tag, our skilled professionals can help you achieve the results you desire using one of two common methods: freezing or dehydration. Both techniques work by desiccating the skin growth, ensuring a safe and efficient removal process.

 

It’s important to note that approximately 90% of our patients arrive after experiencing disappointing outcomes with home removal remedies. We strongly recommend consulting a qualified doctor at our medical spa before attempting to remove skin tags at home, as many individuals find these methods ineffective, and some even face unsightly scarring. Trust our experienced professionals for a fresh, flawless approach to skin tag removal.

Skin tags are bits of benign skin growth that hang from the surrounding skin by a narrow stalk. Skin tags can be smooth or wrinkled, flesh-colored or slightly brown, and usually irregular in shape. 

Skin tags may appear on any part of the human body. They are more often found on the neck, groin, armpits, eyelids, and under the breasts, and other areas where skin frequently rubs against skin or clothing. 

In most cases, skin growths are non-cancerous and can be safely removed. The treatment is performed by a professional, certified technician who has been trained to identify the different types of skin growths appropriate for the treatment. All treatments are performed using the strictest sanitary procedures.

Cyrotherapy is a skin tag removal treatment using liquid nitrogen that freezes the skin tag. The results of this procedure depend on the technicians’ skill and experience, especially when removing skin tags around the eyes. Scarring or discoloration could result from the procedure if the liquid nitrogen is applied excessively.

The Super Frecator RU200 uses a high-frequency electrical current that delivers a precise spark through a micro-needle to cauterize, dehydrate, and desiccate skin growths. During the procedure, the micro-needle remains above the skin surface; it does not penetrate the skin. As the growth is removed, a natural protective coating or scab develops that covers the treated area. Within a week or two, the scab will fall off and be replaced by healthy new skin cells and will gradually take on the color of the surrounding tissue. In most cases, there is no visible indication of the previous growth.

Yes! Once a skin growth has been treated with the Super Frecator, it does not return. However, if your skin is prone to these types of growths, new ones may appear elsewhere on your face and body.

Facts to Know About Skin Tags

  • Skin tags are not typically present at birth; they can develop over time and are most commonly seen in adulthood. They are more prevalent in women than in men, particularly among those who are overweight or have darker skin tones.
  • Skin tags usually begin as small growths resembling the head of a pin. Over time, these growths can enlarge significantly, with some reaching the size of a large grape.
  • Skin tags are often observed in pregnant women, likely due to hormone fluctuations that may heighten the likelihood of their formation.
  • Importantly, skin tags have not been shown to carry any risk of becoming cancerous if left untreated.
  • Occasionally, a skin tag may detach naturally and painlessly. This can occur when the tag twists at its stalk base, restricting blood flow.
  • While some individuals may be more susceptible to developing new skin tags, research indicates that the removal of a skin tag does not lead to the formation of additional skin tags.
