Skin Tag and Mole Removal

What Is Skin Tag & Mole Removal?

This office procedure safely excises or cauterizes benign skin tags, moles, and other growths for smoother, irritation-free skin. Your surgeon numbs the spot, removes the lesion, and—if needed—sends tissue for pathology. Most sites heal within 7–10 days with minimal scarring.

Ideal for:  anyone bothered by rubbing, bleeding, or cosmetic concerns from small skin growths.

How Skin Tag & Mole Removal Works

  1. Prep & anesthesia

    Cleanse the area and inject a small amount of local anesthetic; no IV or fasting required.

  2. Precise removal

    Snip, shave, laser, or cauterize the lesion, often in under 5 minutes per spot.

  3. Immediate after-care

    Apply antibiotic ointment and a tiny bandage; no stitches for most tags, one dissolvable suture for larger moles.

  4. Healing timeline

    Keep the site clean and covered for 48 hours, avoid sun on fresh pink skin, and attend a doctor-guided follow-up in two weeks.

FAQs - Skin Tag & Mole Removal

How much does Skin Tag & Mole Removal cost?
Pricing varies according to the number, size, and location of lesions, as well as any pathology fees. You’ll receive an exact quote during your exam, and our transparent pricing includes local anesthesia, after-care supplies, and follow-up.
Can I go home the same day?
Yes. The procedure is performed entirely in-office; you can drive yourself and resume normal activities immediately.
Will I need special after-care?
Simply keep the site clean, apply antibiotic ointment twice daily, and avoid swimming or tanning until the skin crusts off—usually by day seven.
Are there alternative procedures or add-ons?
Multiple small tags may be removed with cryotherapy or electrocautery; some patients combine removal with a mini chemical peel for overall skin clarity.
Will it leave a scar?
Most tiny tags heal to a pencil-point mark. Larger moles may leave a thin line that fades over 6–12 months with sunscreen and silicone gel.
Does it hurt?
You’ll feel a brief pinch from the anesthetic; after that, the procedure is painless. Mild soreness resolves within hours.
Are my lesions definitely benign?
Suspicious moles are sent to a dermatopathology lab; results arrive within 5–7 days, and we call you personally.
Can I finance my treatment?
Absolutely—Leva Medical offers transparent pricing & flexible financing since 1986.
