Skin Tag & Wart Removal: Quick, Safe, and Effective Treatment

Skin tags, warts, and other benign skin growths are extremely common and often develop in areas of friction or sun exposure. While harmless, these growths can be cosmetically bothersome or cause irritation. At Sapphire Skin Clinic, we offer multiple advanced techniques for quick and effective removal with minimal downtime.


Conditions We Treat

Skin Tags (Acrochordons) Small, soft, flesh-colored growths that typically appear on the neck, underarms, eyelids, and body folds. They’re harmless but can become irritated by clothing or jewelry.

Warts

  • Common Warts - Rough, raised growths usually on hands and fingers
  • Flat Warts - Smooth, flat-topped lesions often on face and legs
  • Plantar Warts - Growths on the soles of feet
  • Filiform Warts - Thread-like warts around the face

Other Benign Growths

  • Seborrheic keratoses (age spots)
  • Dermatosis papulosa nigra (small dark bumps)
  • Milia (tiny white cysts)
  • Cherry angiomas (red spots)

Frequently Asked Questions about Skin Tag & Wart Removal

Is skin tag removal painful?

With local anesthesia, the procedure is virtually painless. You may feel mild warmth during electrocautery or slight cold during cryotherapy.

Will skin tags grow back after removal?

Once properly removed, the same skin tag won't return. However, new skin tags may develop in other areas, especially if you're prone to them.

How long does healing take after removal?

Most treated areas heal within 3-7 days. A small scab forms and falls off naturally, revealing healthy skin underneath.

Can I remove skin tags at home?

Home removal is not recommended due to risks of infection, scarring, and incomplete removal. Professional treatment ensures safe, complete removal.
