Avoid sunburn or irritated skin in the treatment area before your appointment.
Avoid sunburn or irritated skin in the treatment area before your appointment.
Healthy skin heals more efficiently after treatment.
Please inform your provider if you have a history of poor wound healing, skin infections, bleeding disorders, or if you are taking blood-thinning medications.
The treatment area should be clean and free of lotions, oils, makeup, or skincare products whenever possible.
Avoid getting the treated area wet for the first 24 hours after treatment.
This helps protect the area and allows the healing process to begin properly.
After the first 24 hours, gently cleanse the area as directed by your provider.
Avoid excessive rubbing, scrubbing, or irritation.
A small scab will typically form where the skin tag was removed.
This is a normal part of the healing process and usually lasts approximately 1–2 weeks.
Allow the scab to fall off naturally.
Picking may increase the risk of scarring, pigmentation changes, or delayed healing.
Avoid pools, hot tubs, saunas, and prolonged water exposure until the area has fully healed.
These environments may increase the risk of irritation or infection.
Protect the treated area from direct sunlight while healing.
Use SPF when appropriate to help prevent discoloration.
Mild redness is normal, but contact our office if you experience worsening redness, excessive swelling, drainage, fever, or increasing pain.
Most patients can return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
Please contact our office if you experience significant pain, excessive swelling, signs of infection, or any unusual reaction following treatment.
