Raised Skin Leisions Removal

Skin tags

Skin tags are small benign tumors that form primarily in areas where the skin forms. They are quite often found on the eyelids, neck and body and are typically the size of a grain of rice.

Service Description

What are Skin Tags?

Skin tags are small, benign growths that appear on the skin, often in areas where skin rubs against skin or clothing. They are soft, flesh-colored, and can range in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters. While harmless, skin tags can be bothersome for cosmetic reasons or due to irritation.

Common Causes of Skin Tags

  • Friction: Frequent rubbing in areas like the neck, armpits, groin, or under the breasts.

  • Genetics: A predisposition to developing skin tags can run in families.

  • Hormonal Changes: Common during pregnancy or with conditions like diabetes.

  • Obesity: More common in people with higher body weight due to increased friction.

Removing Skin Tags with Fotona Erbium:YAG Laser

The Erbium:YAG laser is an effective and minimally invasive method for removing skin tags. This laser vaporizes the tissue precisely without causing significant thermal damage to the surrounding skin.

How it Works

  1. Laser Ablation: The Erbium:YAG laser emits light energy that targets the water content in the skin tag cells, causing them to heat and vaporize.

  2. Controlled Removal: The laser is extremely precise, allowing the operator to remove the skin tag layer by layer without affecting nearby healthy tissue.

  3. Skin Healing: The treatment stimulates collagen production and encourages quick healing, often leaving little to no scar.

Procedure Steps

  1. Consultation: The practitioner evaluates the skin tag(s) to confirm that they are benign.

  2. Preparation: The area is cleansed, and a numbing cream or local anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort.

  3. Laser Treatment: The Erbium:YAG laser is used to ablate the skin tag tissue.

  4. Post-Treatment Care:

    • The treated area may appear red or slightly raw but typically heals within 7–10 days.

    • Patients are advised to keep the area clean and avoid direct sun exposure.

Benefits of Using the Erbium:YAG Laser

  • Precision: Targets the skin tag without damaging surrounding tissue.

  • Minimally Invasive: No cutting or suturing is involved.

  • Reduced Risk of Scarring: The laser’s precision minimizes scarring compared to traditional removal methods.

  • Quick Recovery: Healing is faster compared to surgical excision or cryotherapy.

  • Safe for All Skin Types: Suitable for most skin tones and types with appropriate settings.

Who is a Candidate?

  • Individuals with small to medium-sized skin tags in accessible areas.

  • Patients seeking a scar-minimizing, non-invasive removal method.

  • Those without active skin infections or conditions that could impair healing.

Aftercare Tips

  • Keep the Area Clean: Use gentle cleansers to avoid irritation.

  • Avoid Picking: Let any scab or redness heal naturally.

  • Apply Sunscreen: Protect the treated area from UV exposure to prevent pigmentation changes.

  • Follow Doctor’s Advice: Use recommended creams or ointments for faster healing.

Fotona’s Erbium:YAG laser is an excellent choice for skin tag removal, combining effectiveness with minimal discomfort and downtime. Always consult a certified practitioner to ensure proper treatment and safety.
