Skin Tag Removal If you're wondering what a skin tag is, then you probably don't have them. Those who are affected by skin tags, especially large numbers of them, are often a bit self-conscious about wearing skin-bearing clothes. Skin tags are those tiny pearl or seed-like moles that appear to hang off of the skin and look as though they could be easily removed but in fact, are quite firmly attached to the skin's surface. Whereas a mole is connected to the skin by its entire surface, a skin tag is attached only superficially by a tiny point at its base. As we get older, we may notice a growing abundance of skin tags, particularly on the face, neck, chest and arms. In the past, skin tags were typically removed by cutting them off, often leaving a small scar. Now, thanks to modern technology, high frequency radio waves are used to remove not only skin tags, but also unsightly blood spots, sebaceous hyperplasia, milia and pigmentation problems. If you are affected by skin tags or other skin conditions that make you want to take cover, please talk to one of our licensed aestheticians/certified laser technicians. He or she will determine which treatment or procedures are right for you. At Physicians Skin Institute, our goal is to make you the most beautiful you. Some commonly asked questions How do high frequency radio waves remove skin tags? Our skin tag removal system is based on the principal of liquids being attracted to the heat of the high frequency radio waves. This results in a bloodless removal of the skin condition, in this case a skin tag. With high frequency radio waves, there is much less trauma to the skin than removal with a scalpel, and far less scarring. Is skin tag removal painful? There is very little discomfort involved with skin tag removal. However, there are some clients who are more sensitive than others, in which case a numbing cream will be applied before treatment begins. The best part is that the skin tag will be immediately removed and because our procedure is non-invasive, healing time is minimal-only 1 or 2 days.
