Service Description

That thing that catches on your necklace. Most people live with skin tags for years. They snag on jewelry, get nicked shaving, rub under a bra strap or a collar — and everyone assumes dealing with it means a dermatology referral, a long wait, and a bigger hassle than it's worth. It's a short visit. We use a plasma device to treat skin tags and other benign surface blemishes precisely, without cutting and without stitches. Treatments are quick with zero downtime. WE LOOK AT IT FIRST This is the part that matters, and it's why this is done in a physician-led practice rather than a spa. Not everything that looks like a skin tag is one. Moles, seborrheic keratoses and other pigmented spots can resemble each other, and some need a proper diagnosis rather than removal. Your provider examines anything you want treated before we treat it — and if something should be evaluated further, we'll tell you and point you in the right direction instead of removing it. WHAT WE CAN TREAT Skin tags on the neck, underarms, eyelids and body Cherry angiomas Milia Other benign surface blemishes, once assessed WHAT TO EXPECT We numb the area first. Treated spots form a small dark crust that flakes off on its own over roughly a week — don't pick at it. Most people go straight back to their day afterward.
