Skin tag removal is a commonly performed procedure at Fresh Start Skincare & Laser. If a skin tag is irritating or cosmetically unwanted, it can be removed through one of two common methods. Both freezing and dehydration methods desiccate skin growths. Unfortunately, about 90% of our patients are those who had disappointing experience with home removal remedies. It is important that you consult a doctor before trying to remove your skin tag at home. Some found that they simply didn’t work and others ended up with unsightly scarring.
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 greatly 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.
