MOLES and SKIN TAGS removed without cutting or stiching.
FAQ's
Before & After
I have a couple of skin moles, should I be worried?
Many people have moles, skin tags, pigmented spots and other lesions on their head, face and neck. Most of these growths never amount to any sort of health problem, but some may be pre-malignant (pre-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Moles that change shape, texture, color or size should be examined. We perform a biopsy of any lesion that is suspicious.

What’s the best way to get rid of them?
Most benign moles can be easily removed with little or no scarring. We use the newest technology in radiofrequency treatment for mole removal. Most benign moles and lesions can be removed without cutting or stitching. Although no doctor can guarantee the lack of a scar, these methods, in our experience, leave a much less noticeable scar than other methods such as scalpel excision or liquid nitrogen. Freezing moles and lesions with liquid nitrogen can cause depressed white scars that are very unsightly. We utilize radiowave technology to melt the moles and lesions with minimal tissue damage to the underlying skin to avoid this problem.
Surgically excising (cutting out with a scalpel) and stitching, is also oftentimes used to treat benign moles, but in some cases can leave unsightly scars from the additional, more invasive trauma, which can leave a scar that looks as bad, or worse, than the mole.
Depressed white scars and poor excision scars do not have to be a part of mole removal. A minimal or unrecognizable scar is possible with the new radiowave technology.
What is radiowave surgery?
Radiowave surgery is a new technology that uses radiowaves (similar to marine band radios) to melt away unwanted tissue. This unique method is extremely gentle to the skin and causes much less damage than standard electrosurgery, cutting or freezing techniques.
What is a skin tag? I think I have a couple of them.
Skin tags are just a soft, skin-colored growth that hangs from the skin by a thin piece of tissue. Skin tags are quite common and they are not cancer, so you can relax, everything will be okay.
Are they a problem?
Skin tags can be a problem because the location of the tag may be irritated by the constant rubbing of clothing or jewelry or if the tag is on the eye or in the nose. Skin tags appear most often on the neck - inside tiny folds. Other common locations for skin tags are the armpits, beneath the breasts or in the genital region. They can also be located on places like the hands and face where they can be unsightly.
How are they removed?
They are treated in the same way as skin moles. This means you will have the best possible outcomes with the use of radiosurgery.
