Treatment:

Skin tags can be removed using different ways. The natural home remedies can help in fading them, but for a more effective and permanent solution, professional guidance and help is advised.

Here at Excellence Esthetics, use a modern radiofrequency (RF) cautery technology for treating this condition. It involves using an electrode. High-frequency radio waves cut through soft tissue by concentrating hot steam through the needle as energy is released from the electrode. As a result, the cells within are damaged and destroyed. Hence, skin tags are removed from the skin and the skin is left to heal.

Benefits:
  • Removes skin tags, warts, moles
  • Minimum to no blood loss
  • Heat used is harmless to the skin
  • Quicker and better results
  • Safe and painless procedure
