How We Remove Skin Tags & Moles

Skin Tag Removal

We use sterile snip excision and radiofrequency to detach the tag at its base and seal tiny vessels. Visits are fast and discomfort is low. A pinpoint scab forms and falls away.

Cosmetic Mole Removal

For benign moles we choose a shave removal for a flat finish, or a small excision for the cleanest contour. Lasers are used for select superficial lesions. Pathology review is available on request.

Safety & Screening

  • ◽️ We will not cosmetically remove suspicious lesions
  • ◽️ Your skin health comes first

FAQ

Skin Tag & Mole Removal FAQ

Will there be a scar?

Skin tags usually heal to a tiny flat spot. Cosmetic mole removals may leave a faint line or flat spot that fades with time and sun protection.

Can a mole come back?

Recurrence is uncommon after full removal. We plan follow-up when needed and give pigment-safe aftercare.

Is removal safe for all skin tones?

Yes. We adjust technique for every Fitzpatrick type and provide guidance to minimize post-inflammatory darkening.

Do you send specimens to pathology?

On request or whenever clinical features indicate. If a lesion looks atypical, we refer for medical evaluation before any cosmetic treatment.

Skin growths are clusters of cells that look different from the surrounding tissue. They may be flat or raised, present at birth or appear later in life, and can vary in color, including dark brown, black, or red.

What are skin tags?

Skin tags are harmless skin growths that often start as small, fleshy brown spots and may develop on a tiny stem or stalk. They are soft, skin-colored or slightly darker, and can appear almost anywhere on the body. Most often, they show up on the neck, armpits, or trunk. While the exact cause is unknown, they tend to become more common during middle age.

Can skin tags be cancerous?

No, skin tags are not cancerous. They often run in families and may also appear during pregnancy. Most skin tags cause no symptoms, but they can look unattractive, become painful, or bleed if clothing rubs against them.

When should I remove a skin tag?

Consider removal if the tag starts to bleed, becomes irritated, or makes you feel self-conscious.

What are cherry angiomas?

Cherry angiomas, sometimes called ruby spots, are harmless clusters of dilated capillaries or small blood vessels. They appear as bright red spots with a smooth texture and are most often found on the upper legs and trunk, though they may also show up on the arms, neck, or face. While the exact cause is unknown, they tend to become more common after the age of 30.

What is a cholesterol deposit?

Also called xanthomas, these are fatty deposits that form lumps beneath the skin. They most often appear on the hands, knees, elbows, buttocks, and feet.

What are milia?

Milia form when dead skin cells get trapped beneath the surface of the skin, often on the cheeks, nose, or chin. They can sometimes become inflamed and resemble acne, but they are not the same condition.
