Laser Skin Tag Removal: A Gentle and Effective Outpatient Procedure at WNC Internal Medicine in Sylva, NC

Unwanted skin tags can be a source of discomfort and self-consciousness. Fortunately, the advanced medical professionals at WNC Internal Medicine in Sylva, NC, offer a safe and efficient solution through laser skin tag removal. This outpatient surgical procedure is designed to provide minimal discomfort while effectively removing skin tags, leaving you with smoother and clearer skin.

Understanding Laser Skin Tag Removal:

Skin tags are small, benign growths that can appear on various parts of the body. While they are harmless, they can be bothersome, particularly if they occur in visible or sensitive areas. Laser skin tag removal is a popular option for those seeking a non-invasive way to eliminate these growths. The procedure involves the use of a specialized laser that targets the skin tag’s tissue, effectively “burning” it off without causing significant damage to the surrounding skin.

The Procedure Process:

At WNC Internal Medicine in Sylva, NC, your laser skin tag removal procedure will be conducted with utmost care and precision. Here’s what you can expect during the process:

1. Consultation: Before the procedure, you will have a consultation with your doctor to discuss your concerns and assess whether you are a suitable candidate for laser skin tag removal. This is also an opportunity to ask any questions you might have and understand the procedure better.

2. Anesthesia: A mild anesthetic will be applied to the area surrounding the skin tag to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. You will be awake during the process, and the anesthesia will help minimize any potential discomfort.

3. Laser Treatment: The specialized laser will be used to target the skin tag. The laser energy will effectively remove the tissue that makes up the skin tag, leaving behind smoother skin.

4. Duration: The procedure is relatively quick, typically lasting between 15 to 20 minutes per skin tag. If the skin tag is located in a challenging area to reach, the procedure might take slightly longer.

5. Minimal Discomfort: Laser skin tag removal is known for being virtually painless. While you might experience mild discomfort, this is usually minimal and temporary.

6. No Bleeding and Scarring: One of the advantages of laser skin tag removal is that there is no bleeding during the procedure. Additionally, unless the skin tag was unusually large, there is virtually no risk of scarring.

7. Recovery and Results: Most patients require only one treatment session to effectively remove the skin tag. After the procedure, you can typically resume your regular activities. However, if multiple skin tags were removed or if sensitive areas were treated, some individuals might need a short recovery period.
