Skin Tag Removal

The appearance factors of skin tags are still poorly known. But the track of skin aging seems plausible. With age, the skin loosens and hangs. She becomes more prone to the development of these skin growths.

People who are overweight are also more prone to reveal skin growths.

Hormonal changes and certain diseases , such as metabolic syndrome (presence of excess fat in the belly), high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and the human papilloma virus (HPV) can promote the formation of skin tags.

Although skin tags are generally harmless, it’s best to see a dermatologist if you notice a change in size or color. Repeated bleeding and itching should prompt you to make an appointment with a dermatologist in Paris.

At Skin Marceau , we use the Deka Smartxide CO2 laser and the ULTRApulse Alpha CO2 Laser , references in CO2 medical lasers. The wavelength, which emits light at 10,600 nanometers, is powerful enough to perceive stagnant water in these small skin tags.

As with any medical dermatology treatment, our specialist assistant first receives you for an initial examination, before the intervention of your dermatologist.

After examining your skin, we are able to draw up a report adapted to your needs.

The treatment is done under local anesthesia or under topical anesthesia (application of a cream 1 hour before the session, Emla type).

The skin is first disinfected. We will then perform a ”  vaporization  ” of the lesion which will lead to its destruction. It is a source of smoke emission , which is sucked up by a special device equipped with a filter.

The session is quick and lasts on average only 15 minutes. The CO2 laser does not imply any downtime. The resumption of your daily activities is immediately possible.

How many sessions are needed?

One session is sufficient to eliminate skin tags . Nevertheless, it is necessary to wait a few weeks to appreciate the final result, the time that the skin heals.

Is skin tag treatment painful?

The treatment being carried out under local anesthesia, a simple tingling or stinging sensation is felt.

All skin tags are destroyed in 1 session. Local treatments (creams, dressings) are required until complete healing.

Once the lesion is definitively healed, a slight pinkish mark remains visible on the surface of the skin. It gradually fades.

The results are instant and remarkable. The use of the CO2 laser is a safe technique that presents no post-treatment complications. The skin growths resorb. Once healing is complete, the skin tags disappear completely. We will make sure to organize a follow-up consultation to ensure the success of the treatment.

At Skin Marceau, the prices indicated vary according to the number of skin tags to be treated .
