Most clients experience mild discomfort similar to a pinprick; we use topical anesthetic when needed. Proper technique and aftercare reduce scarring risk significantly, though healing varies. We'll discuss scarring concerns and set realistic expectations during your consultation.

Recovery is usually brief: minor redness, crusting, or tenderness resolves within one to two weeks. Larger excisions may take longer. Follow our aftercare—keep area clean, avoid sun exposure, and return for follow-up if healing concerns arise.

Most skin tags and small moles are removed in a single session. Larger or multiple lesions might need staged treatments. We'll evaluate the area during consultation and provide a clear plan, including estimated sessions and associated costs.

Keep the area clean, apply recommended ointment, and avoid picking at scabs. Limit sun exposure and use SPF after healing. Expect healing over one to four weeks depending on size; contact us for concerns or unusual symptoms.
