Procedure Overview: 

1. Consulation: 

Before the removal, you’ll undergo a consultation with one of our board-certified physicians. The doctor will examine the skin tags, ensuring they are benign and suitable for removal. 

2. Selection of Removal Method: 

Various methods may be employed based on the size, location, and number of skin tags.  

3. Local Anesthesia (if needed): 

Depending on the removal method and patient preference, local anesthesia may be applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure. 

4. Removal Process: 

The chosen method is executed, targeting the skin tag while minimizing damage to surrounding skin. The procedure is typically quick and straightforward. 

5. Post-Removal Care: 

After removal, the area may be treated with an antiseptic ointment, and specific aftercare instructions are provided. Healing time varies based on the removal method. 

Why Skin Tag Removal Differs:

- Benign Nature:  

-Skin tags are generally harmless but can be bothersome or cosmetically undesirable. Unlike other procedures that address medical conditions or cosmetic concerns, skin tag removal primarily addresses a specific type of growth. 

- Tailored Approaches:  

The removal method is chosen based on individual factors such as the size, location, and number of skin tags. This tailored approach distinguishes it from generic cosmetic procedures. 

- Minimal Disruption:  

Skin tag removal is a minor procedure with minimal disruption to the surrounding skin. This contrasts with more invasive cosmetic surgeries. 

- Quick and Targeted:  

Skin tag removal is typically quick and targets specific growths, making it distinct from broader cosmetic interventions. 

Overall, skin tag removal is a specialized procedure designed to address the unique characteristics of skin tags with precision and minimal impact on the surrounding skin.
