Let’s break down the science behind skin tag removal ✨
What is a skin tag?
Medically known as an (acrochordon), a skin tag is a completely harmless, non-cancerous growth made of collagen fibers and blood vessels wrapped in skin. They typically form in areas with high friction like the neck, underarms, or undergarment lines where skin rubs against skin or clothing.
Plasma removal: how it works?
Plasma technology uses controlled thermal energy to target selected superficial skin lesions. The energy creates a localized treatment effect, allowing the targeted tissue to dry, coagulate, and eventually shed as the area heals.
What happens after treatment?
The treated area may appear slightly red, swollen, or develop a small crust/scab as part of the normal healing response. This is part of the skin’s repair process. As healing progresses, the treated tissue naturally separates and the skin underneath continues to regenerate.
Why proper assessment matters
Not every raised or pigmented lesion is a skin tag
•Skin tags are friction-based, soft, and non-contagious.
•Warts (verrucas) are viral (HPV), rough, and contagious.
A professional assessment is essential to ensure a lesion is safe for cosmetic removal. Suspicious, changing, bleeding, or unusual lesions should always be evaluated by a medical professional first.
Have a skin tag or minor irregularity you want cleared?
