Treatments
Every patient is unique and hence it is highly recommended for you to visit our clinic for a consultation with expert. We practice latest of methods to treat brighten the dull skin. These include:
Excision removal – The skin tag is carefully cut off from the skin using a scalpel under the influence of local anaesthisia. It may leave a light scar.
Cryotherapy – Cryotherapy is the process of freezing the desired area of skin with help of nitrogen. The cold temperature kills the cells within the skin tag, blocking the blood supply to the area, causing it to naturally fall off.
Hyfrecation – An electrical pulse is passed through the skin tag to damage the cells, causing the skin tag to fall off.
These treatments do not take much time and are done under the influence of an anaesthetic hence making the process relatively painless.
