Skin Tag Removal Procedure
Pre-Treatment:
A dermatologist evaluates the skin tag to confirm it is benign. The appropriate removal method is chosen based on size, location, and number of skin tags.
During the Treatment:
Local anaesthesia may be applied for comfort. Laser or RF energy is used to precisely cut and cauterise the skin tag at its base. The procedure typically takes 10–20 minutes.
Post-Treatment Care & Recovery:
A small scab may form and naturally falls off within 5–10 days. Patients are advised to keep the area clean, avoid picking, and apply prescribed ointments. Sun protection is advised for exposed areas.
