Skin Tags and Wart Removal: Quick and Effective Solutions

Skin tags and warts, although harmless, can be unsightly and often a cause of discomfort or self-consciousness. Fortunately, advances in medical aesthetics have led to highly effective, quick, and minimally invasive solutions for removing these common skin lesions. At Barton Medical Aesthetics, we specialize in providing state-of-the-art treatments designed to address these issues with precision and care.

Understanding Skin Tags and Warts

Skin tags are small, benign growths that commonly appear in areas where the skin folds, such as the neck, armpits, groin, and under the breasts. They are composed of collagen fibers and blood vessels surrounded by a layer of skin. While they are typically painless, they can become irritated by clothing or jewelry.

Warts, on the other hand, are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They can appear anywhere on the body but are most commonly found on the hands, feet, and face. Warts are characterized by their rough texture and can sometimes cause discomfort, especially when located on pressure points like the soles of the feet.

Advanced Laser Treatment

At Barton Medical Aesthetics, we use the cutting-edge Cynosure Elite iQ laser technology to target and break down the pigment in skin tags and warts. This advanced laser treatment is highly precise, ensuring that only the unwanted growths are targeted, leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. The laser works by emitting concentrated light that is absorbed by the pigment in the skin tags or warts, causing them to break down and eventually be reabsorbed by the body.

The Benefits of Laser Treatment

One of the primary advantages of laser treatment is its precision. The laser targets only the skin tags or warts, minimizing damage to the surrounding skin. This results in a faster healing process and reduces the risk of scarring. Additionally, laser treatment is relatively quick, with sessions typically lasting between 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size and number of growths being treated.

Patients often require between one to three sessions to achieve optimal results. The recovery time is minimal, with most individuals able to return to their daily activities immediately after the procedure. Temporary side effects such as redness or swelling usually subside within hours or days, making this an attractive option for those seeking quick and effective results.

What to Expect During and After Treatment

During the procedure, a cooling device or topical anesthetic may be used to enhance comfort. The laser is then carefully directed at the skin tags or warts, breaking down the pigment and causing the growths to gradually fade away. Post-treatment care is straightforward. Patients are advised to keep the treated area clean and avoid sun exposure for a few days to aid in the healing process.

While laser treatment is highly effective, it’s important to note that certain skin conditions, such as active infections, severe eczema, and psoriasis, may contraindicate the procedure. Pregnant individuals are also advised to avoid this treatment due to potential risks to the fetus.
