Skin tags and Angiomas are benign growths that appear on the skin’s surface, caused by an overgrowth of blood vessels. They can appear anywhere on the body and are typically small, red, and round. Skin tags, on the other hand, are small, soft, skin-colored growths that hang off the skin’s surface, often found in areas such as the neck, armpits, and groin. Because it can be difficult to distinguish a skin tag from a wart, beauty mark or potentially dangerous mole, it’s recommended to consult a physician and not attempt to remove it yourself.
While angiomas and skin tags are harmless, they can be a source of embarrassment or discomfort for some individuals. At our clinic, we use Lutronic’s Clarity II laser to safely and effectively remove these growths, leaving you with smoother, clearer skin. The Clarity II laser uses a unique combination of wavelengths to target the blood vessels in angiomas and the tissue in skin tags. This targeted approach means that the laser can precisely remove the growth without damaging surrounding tissue or causing scarring. The laser emits short pulses of energy that heat up and destroy the targeted tissue, causing the growth to shrink and eventually fall off. The procedure is quick, relatively painless, and requires little to no downtime.
Your skin care specialist may recommend a healing cream as part of a take-home protocol.
If you have angiomas or skin tags that are causing you discomfort or affecting your confidence, laser treatment using the Clarity II laser may be a suitable option for you. However, we recommend that you schedule a consultation with our team to assess your skin and discuss your options.
