Skin Tag Removal with Cauterization

Say goodbye to unwanted skin tags safely and effectively with our Cauterization Skin Tag Removal treatment at DermaLook Aesthetics. This quick, precise, and non-surgical procedure uses heat energy to remove skin tags with minimal discomfort and virtually no downtime — leaving your skin smooth and clear.

What Are Skin Tags?

Skin tags (also known as acrochordons) are small, benign growths that often appear in areas where skin rubs together, such as the neck, underarms, eyelids, groin, or under the breasts. While harmless, they can be bothersome or cosmetically unwanted.
Cauterization offers an effective and long-lasting solution to remove them quickly and safely.

How Cauterization Works

Cauterization uses a specialized medical-grade device that applies controlled heat to the base of the skin tag. The heat gently burns and seals the tissue, detaching the tag and minimizing bleeding or risk of infection.
The treated area will naturally heal over the following days, revealing smooth, even-toned skin.

Benefits of Skin Tag Removal with Cauterization

• Quick and precise treatment

• Minimal discomfort and downtime

• Immediate results — skin tag is removed during the session

• Safe for most skin types

• Low risk of scarring when performed by a trained medical aesthetician

What to Expect During Your Appointment

1. Consultation:
   Your skin will be examined to confirm that the lesion is a benign skin tag suitable for removal.

2. Preparation:
   The area is cleansed and a topical anesthetic may be applied to ensure comfort.

3. Treatment:
   The cauterization device applies a brief pulse of heat to the tag, detaching it from the skin.

4. Aftercare:
   A small scab or redness may appear where the tag was removed — this is normal and typically heals within 7–10 days.

Contraindications

Cauterization may not be suitable for individuals with the following conditions:

• Pregnancy or breastfeeding

• Active skin infections or open wounds in the treatment area

• Suspicious, changing, or pigmented lesions (these require medical evaluation)

• Bleeding disorders or use of blood-thinning medication

• Uncontrolled diabetes or poor wound healing

• History of keloid or hypertrophic scarring

• Use of isotretinoin (Accutane) within the past 6–12 months

Pre-Treatment Guidelines

• Avoid tanning, chemical peels, or laser treatments on the area for 2 weeks prior.

• Do not apply creams, makeup, or deodorant on the day of treatment.

• Inform your provider of any medical conditions, allergies, or medications.

Aftercare Instructions

• Keep the treated area clean and dry for the first 24 hours.

• Apply an antibiotic ointment or soothing healing cream as advised.

• Avoid touching, picking, or scratching the area.

• Let any scabs fall off naturally — do not remove them prematurely.

• Avoid hot tubs, saunas, and direct sun exposure for 7 days.

• Always apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ once the area has healed.

• Makeup may be applied after the skin has fully healed (usually within a week).

Healing and Results

You can expect a small scab or light redness at the removal site for a few days. Once healed, the skin will appear smoother and clearer. Most clients see complete healing within 7–14 days.

Results are permanent for each treated skin tag, although new tags can develop over time due to genetics, friction, or hormonal changes.
