Removal of Skin Tags, Moles & Warts
Minor in-clinic procedures performed under local anesthesia, with attention to the cosmetic result and to sending the tissue for analysis when needed.
When do you need it?
- Skin tags on the neck or underarms
- Warts on the hands, feet or face
- A mole you'd like removed, or a mole that has changed
- A sebaceous cyst or lipoma
- White milia and small dark bumps (DPN)
How does the treatment work?
- Consultation to identify the lesion and choose the most suitable method
- Local anesthesia — you'll only feel the small prick of the injection
- Cautery, cryotherapy, or surgical excision with stitches depending on the case
- If there is any doubt, the sample is sent for laboratory analysis
When will I see results?
The scab after cautery falls off within 7–14 days. Stitches are removed after 5–7 days on the face and 10–14 days on the body. Warts may need more than one session.
Important tips
- Don't pick off the scab
- Keep the wound dry for the first 24–48 hours, then apply the ointment
- Tell the doctor if you're taking blood thinners
Frequently asked questions
Which moles should be checked?
Any mole that is growing, changing in color or shape, has irregular borders, or is bleeding or itchy should be examined.
Will it leave a scar?
We choose the method that minimizes scarring as much as possible; the result varies depending on the location and your skin type.
