Change to a better version of your skin.
The nature of skin keeps changing as we grow older and get ourselves exposed to the sun frequently. This results in some development of skin lesions. This is very common among everyone and is called benign(non-cancerous). Some of them are skin tags, warts, freckles, and moles.
Skin tags
A skin tag is a small, soft, balloon-shaped benign skin growth connected to the skin by a thin stalk. They are extremely harmless and common among everyone. The main cause of the skin tag is still unknown. But it is commonly seen in people who are obese, women who are in stages of hormonal changes like pregnancy, menopause, and old people.
Skin tags are usually found in the places where the skin gets rubbed very frequently. Some of the common places are armpits, breast areas, eyelids and neck. It usually doesn’t cause any pain.
Radio frequency (RF) treatment
Initially, local anesthesia is given around the skin tag. Numbing cream can also be applied if the size of the skin tag is very small. In the radio frequency method, a fine pen-like needle is inserted around the skin. It precisely cuts the skin surrounding the skin tag.
The radiofrequency skin tag removal procedure may take 10 to 20 minutes depending on the size of the skin tag and the cooperation of the patient. An anti-bacterial cream is to be applied for the next 3 to 5 days on the treated lesion
Laser skin tag removal
This method is a little advanced when compared to RF treatment. With this method, larger lesions can also be removed very easily. The amount of time taken for the procedure and healing is less when compared to radio frequency (RF) skin tag removal
To carry out this treatment, initially, local anesthesia is given either by applying a numbing cream or through an injection around the skin tag. Laser light is passed on the skin tag in the form of light and heat and in turn, burns the surface of the skin tag attached to the skin.
