What Are Skin Tags?
Skin tags — also known medically as acrochordons — are small, soft, benign growths that commonly appear on the neck, underarms, eyelids, chest, groin, or other skin folds. Though painless and harmless, they can sometimes get irritated by clothing or jewelry, and may cause cosmetic concerns.
Why Remove Skin Tags?
While skin tags are non-cancerous, removal is often sought for:
-
Aesthetic reasons – Improve appearance, especially on visible areas like the face or neck
-
Comfort – Reduce discomfort from chafing or snagging
-
Hygiene – Prevent build-up of sweat or bacteria around large tags
-
Peace of mind – Ensure the growth isn’t something more serious (our doctor will assess)
Our Removal Method: Electrocautery
At Bethesda Medical, we perform skin tag removal using Electrocautery — a medically proven, fast, and minimally invasive method.
What is Electrocautery?
Electrocautery involves the use of a fine, heated electrical probe to precisely burn off the skin tag.
The heat not only removes the growth but also seals the blood vessels, reducing bleeding and lowering the risk of infection.
Benefits of Electrocautery
-
Fast procedure – Usually completed in 15–20 minutes
-
Minimal bleeding – Heat seals off vessels instantly
-
Reduced risk of infection – The cauterization creates a sterile wound
-
Minimal scarring – Especially when aftercare instructions are followed
-
Highly targeted – Suitable for small to medium-sized tags on sensitive areas like eyelids or neck
FAQ
How long do the effects of the injections last?
The duration varies by individual and treatment type. Hyaluronic acid injections typically provide relief for 6-12 months, while PRP therapy results can last 1-2 years. Many patients opt for periodic maintenance treatments.
Is the procedure painful?
Discomfort is minimal. We use topical anesthetics to numb the area before injection. Most patients report only mild discomfort during the procedure, similar to a standard vaccination.
How soon can I return to normal activities?
We recommend taking it easy for 24-48 hours after the procedure. Most patients can return to light activities the next day and resume normal activities within a week, depending on the treatment and individual response.
