Skin Tags

What Are Skin Tags?

Skin tags are small, soft, slightly pigmented growths on the skin that are generally harmless, but some people consider them annoying and irritating and choose to have them removed.

Skin tags are made up of skin and tissue and are usually benign. They tend to occur in areas of friction, so they often appear on the armpits, neck, groin folds, and beneath the breasts.

Here at FACE Skincare Medical Wellness we offer skin tag removal procedures for every skin type. Skin tag removal is a quick, relatively simple procedure that clears away skin tags with minimal discomfort.

What Treatment Options Are Available For Skin Tags

There are different skin tag removal treatments available including Lamprobe, and Cutera excel^® V+. The choice of treatment may vary depending on the size and location of the skin tag being removed.

Lamprobe: Lamprobe is a non-invasive treatment that uses radio and high-frequency technology to remove skin tags and other minor irregularities on the surface of the skin. Lamprobe is a small device that works by vaporizing the moisture in the skin cells, which causes them to dry up. The dead skin cells eventually fall off, revealing new, healthy skin.

Lamprobe is suitable for all skin types and skin tones. It is a quick treatment that takes only a few seconds to complete, but the results are immediate. In most cases, one treatment is all it takes to remove skin tags and other small irregularities.

Cutera excel^® V+: Skin tag removal is made easy with the Cutera excel^® V+, and the treatment takes only a few minutes to complete. The Cutera excel^® V+ is an advanced laser system that features dual wavelengths, and is designed to treat pigmented and vascular lesions. The combination of wavelengths helps to clear skin tags faster and more precisely.

The Cutera excel^® V+ emits high powered wavelengths that are absorbed by the skin cells within the skin tag, causing it to dissolve. The treatment is completely painless because the excel^® V+ provides continuous cooling to the targeted area during treatment. The excel^® V+ also stimulates collagen and cell renewal.
