At Lashes & Lipstick Med Spa, in Markham, Ontario, we use the Cutera XEO Nd:YAG for skin tag removal treatments.
Skin tags, although harmless, can be unsightly. If you’re seeking a safe, minimally invasive solution, laser for skin tag removal might be the answer.
Understanding Skin Tags:
Skin tags are typically flesh-colored benign growths that often appear in areas of friction on the body, like the neck, armpits, or groin. Despite being benign, they can be bothersome due to their appearance or location.
Laser Treatment for Skin Tag Removal:
How Laser Treatment Works:
Our Cutera Xeo Nd: Yag Laser treatment for skin tag removal utilizes a focused beam of light to precisely target and vaporize the skin tag, without affecting the surrounding skin. This procedure is highly accurate and ensures minimal damage to any other surrounding tissue.
Benefits of Laser Treatment:
- Precision: The laser allows for targeted and precise removal, minimizing the risk of scarring and reducing discomfort during and after the procedure.
- Minimal Discomfort: Patients usually experience little to no discomfort during the treatment
- Quick Healing: Laser treatment for skin tag removal typically results in quicker healing times with minimal post-procedure care required. The skin tags just fall off naturally!
What to expect during Skin Tag Removal?
- For your safety, you are provided laser goggles during the skin tag removal treatment
- We cleanse and disinfect the area
- We use the laser cooling tip to cool down the area, as this provides a slight numbing effect
- The Cutera Xeo Nd: YAG is then pulsed on each skin tag to vapourize them
- We then use the cooling tip to cool down the area, once again
- Once complete, the skin tags will turn greyish in colour and fall off within a couple of weeks
