Non-surgical removal of skin tags and moles using the plasma pen — ionized plasma energy that eliminates the lesion precisely at the surface. No cutting, no stitches, no scarring concern. Fast sessions, quick healing. At our El Segundo location serving Manhattan Beach, Hawthorne, Westchester, and the LAX corridor.
Skin tag and mole removal at our El Segundo location uses the plasma pen — a device that generates a controlled arc of ionized plasma energy to precisely eliminate the lesion at the surface level. The energy causes the tissue to contract and desiccate without cutting into surrounding skin.
Unlike surgical excision, there are no incisions, no stitches, and no wound that needs to be sutured closed. The treated area forms a small crust that heals over 5–10 days. For most skin tags and superficial moles, the result is clean removal with minimal visible evidence of treatment.
All sessions at our El Segundo location are performed by a licensed RN or NP. Your provider will assess the lesion before treatment and confirm it is an appropriate candidate for plasma pen removal.
📅 Book Your SessionYour provider will assess the lesion at your session and confirm it is appropriate for plasma pen removal. Lesions that appear atypical or show any signs of irregular change should be evaluated by a dermatologist before any cosmetic removal.
Small, soft benign growths that typically appear on the neck, underarms, eyelids, under the breasts, and groin folds — anywhere skin rubs against skin or clothing. Common in adults and entirely harmless, but often cosmetically bothersome. The plasma pen removes them cleanly without cutting.
Benign, stable moles that have been present and unchanged for years and are bothersome for cosmetic reasons. The plasma pen is appropriate for raised moles or those in easily irritated locations. Flat or changing moles should be evaluated by a dermatologist first — your provider will confirm candidacy before treatment.
Other small raised benign lesions — including sebaceous hyperplasia, small fibromas, or superficial keratoses — may be appropriate for plasma pen removal at your provider's discretion. Your provider will assess at your session and advise on the best approach.
Important note: Plasma pen removal is a cosmetic procedure. Any mole or lesion that is new, rapidly changing, asymmetric, multi-colored, or has irregular borders should be evaluated by a board-certified dermatologist before cosmetic removal. We do not remove lesions with suspicious features.
Not sure how many tags you have?
Your provider will confirm the count and advise on the right package at your session.Single mole removal using the plasma pen. Appropriate for benign, stable moles that are cosmetically bothersome. Your provider will assess the mole before treatment and confirm it is a suitable candidate.
Removing multiple moles: If you have more than one mole to remove, contact us before booking and we will discuss pricing and sequencing. Some patients prefer to stage multiple removals across two sessions to manage healing more comfortably.
Your provider reviews each lesion to confirm it is appropriate for plasma pen removal. For moles, this includes evaluating size, border regularity, color consistency, and whether the lesion has been stable. Any atypical features will result in a referral to a dermatologist — not treatment.
Topical numbing cream is applied and given time to work before treatment begins. The plasma pen delivers a controlled arc of plasma energy to each lesion. Most patients describe a mild warmth or slight stinging sensation. Sessions typically take 15–30 minutes depending on the number and location of lesions.
A small crust forms at the treatment site and falls off naturally over 5–14 days — do not pick at it. The area beneath will be pink and fresh initially, then gradually normalize in color. Keep the area clean, dry, and protected from sun exposure during healing. Aftercare instructions are provided at your session.
Once the crust has resolved and the skin has healed, the lesion is gone. For skin tags, the result is typically clean removal with no visible evidence of treatment once healed. For moles, a faint flat mark may remain initially and continues to fade over weeks. Most patients are very happy with the outcome after a single session.
"I had about seven skin tags on my neck that had been bothering me for years. They were gone in one session. The numbing cream worked well, the whole thing took maybe twenty minutes, and within two weeks you would never know they were there."
Maria C., El Segundo"I had a raised mole on my cheek that I always felt self-conscious about in photos. The provider was very thorough — she assessed it carefully before agreeing to treat it. One session, healed cleanly. I genuinely cannot see where it was anymore."
Daniel S., Manhattan Beach"Got the 5–10 skin tag package. Had nine tags in my underarms and on my neck. They were all gone after one visit. The little crusts were there for about a week and then gone. Quick, clean, worth every cent. Would not hesitate to go back."
Keisha R., Hawthorne"Very professional and thorough. They explained the whole process before starting, made sure I was comfortable with the numbing, and did a great job. I came in nervous about it and left wondering why I waited so long. Healed beautifully."
Tom A., WestchesterTopical numbing cream is applied before treatment and given adequate time to work. Most patients describe a mild warmth or slight stinging sensation during the procedure — not significant pain. Skin tags in sensitive areas like the eyelids or groin may be slightly more uncomfortable, but the numbing cream manages this well for most patients.
Plasma pen removal does not involve cutting, which eliminates the risk of a sutured scar. A small crust forms at the treatment site and resolves in 5–14 days. The area beneath may be pink for a few weeks as it normalizes. For skin tags, the outcome is typically very clean once healed. For moles, a faint flat mark may remain initially and continues to fade over weeks to months. Following aftercare instructions — particularly keeping the area protected from sun — significantly improves the final result.
Your provider will assess the mole before treatment using standard dermoscopic evaluation criteria. Moles that are stable, have regular borders, are uniform in color, and have been unchanged for years are generally appropriate for cosmetic plasma pen removal. Any mole that is new, recently changed in size, shape, or color, is asymmetric, has irregular borders, contains multiple colors, or has any other atypical features will not be treated — your provider will refer you to a dermatologist instead. We do not remove moles with suspicious features under any circumstances.
The small crust at the treatment site typically resolves within 5–10 days for skin tags and 7–14 days for moles. During this period the area should be kept clean and dry. Do not pick at the crust — let it fall off naturally. Sun protection is important during and after healing to prevent discoloration. Most patients are comfortable returning to normal activity the same day or the following day, keeping the area protected.
Skin tags that are fully removed with the plasma pen do not typically regrow at the same site. New skin tags may develop elsewhere over time, as the underlying tendency is systemic. Moles that are fully treated generally do not regrow — though if the root of the mole extends deeper than the plasma pen can reach, a touch-up session may occasionally be needed. Your provider will advise if this is a possibility for your specific mole.
Yes, though we recommend discussing this before booking. Multiple moles can often be treated in the same visit, but some patients prefer to stage them across two sessions to keep the healing area manageable. Pricing for multiple moles can be discussed at your session or by contacting us beforehand. Skin tag packages already account for multiple lesions in one visit.
