Skin Tag Removal in Vancouver & Burnaby

1. What is this procedure

Skin tag removal using electrocoagulation is a targeted treatment that uses heat generated by an electrical current to remove small, benign skin tags. Each skin tag is treated individually, with attention to the surrounding skin. A consultation is required before treatment to discuss suitability and expected results.

2. Who is it for

This procedure is suitable for women and men who wish to remove skin tags for cosmetic reasons or because they catch on clothing or jewellery. Suitability depends on the size, location, and appearance of each growth, as well as your skin and medical history.

Not every skin growth is a skin tag. Unusual, changing, or spontaneously bleeding growths require assessment by a licensed medical professional before cosmetic treatment. Mole removal is not offered.

3. What results does it provide

Skin tag removal can provide the following benefits:

• removal of targeted skin tags;
• a smoother appearance in the treated area after healing;
• reduced catching or rubbing against clothing and jewellery;
• improved comfort and confidence.

Results vary, and new skin tags may develop over time. Temporary redness, changes in pigmentation, and scarring are possible.

4. How the procedure is performed

The appointment begins with a consultation to discuss your concerns, relevant medical history, and whether treatment is appropriate. The procedure, possible discomfort, risks, and aftercare are explained before proceeding.

The skin is cleansed and disinfected. A fine electrode is then used to deliver controlled heat to each selected skin tag. You may experience heat, stinging, or brief discomfort during treatment.

Several skin tags may be treated during one appointment, depending on their size, location, and number. Further treatment may sometimes be needed.

5. Aftercare recommendations

A small crust may form over the treated area. Allow it to detach naturally without picking or scratching. Clean the area gently and follow the individual wound-care instructions provided at your appointment.

Avoid friction, scrubs, acids, and retinoids on the treated area while it heals. Avoid swimming and soaking until the skin has healed. Protect the area from sun exposure; once the skin has closed, use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher.

Healing time varies depending on the treatment area and your individual skin response. Seek medical advice if you develop increasing redness, warmth, swelling, pain, or discharge.
