Benign Skin Growth Removal

At Madison Medispa, we combine medical expertise with aesthetic precision. Our clinic has over 20 years of experience in the field of cosmetic dermatology with Doctor led treatment options including:

• Laser treatment using advanced technology for precision and minimal skin disruption
• Electrocautery (Hyfrecator) to gently remove growths with controlled heat
• Simple excision using a scalpel or needle under local anesthesia
• Combination treatments for optimal cosmetic results

Every treatment is customized based on the size, location, and type of lesion—especially for sensitive areas like the face or around the eyes.

What We Treat:

Our providers safely remove benign skin growths and will evaluate your skin and recommend the safest, most effective option. We offer specialized treatment for:

• Skin tags (including delicate removal of skin tags near eyes)
• Moles (cosmetic and medically evaluated)
• Sebaceous hyperplasia
• Cherry angiomas
• Seborrheic keratosis
• Lentigines (sun spots)
• Milia

What to Expect:

Procedure Time:
Approximately 15-60 minutes.

Typical Recovery Time and Side Effects:

Depending on size and extent of the treated lesions, it may take 1-2 weeks for your skin to heal in the treated areas.  During this time you may have small scabs, and when the scab falls off, the new underlying skin is likely to look pink for several weeks.

Results:

After the treated areas have fully healed, the targeted lesion should be gone, leaving smoother, clearer skin and improved confidence.

What Causes Skin Tags and Moles?

Skin tags and moles are extremely common and typically harmless, but they can develop for a variety of reasons. Understanding what causes these growths can help you decide when skin tag or mole removal may be right for you.

Common Causes of Skin Tags

Skin tags often form due to friction and skin-on-skin contact. They’re frequently found in areas where the skin naturally folds, such as:

• Neck and underarms
• Eyelids (a common reason for removal of skin tags near eyes)
• Under the breasts
• Groin area

Additional contributing factors may include:

• Hormonal changes (such as pregnancy)
• Genetics (they often run in families)
• Weight fluctuations or increased skin friction
• Aging and natural skin changes

Common Causes of Moles:

Moles develop when pigment-producing cells (melanocytes) grow in clusters rather than being evenly distributed throughout the skin. They can appear anywhere on the body and vary in size, shape, and color.

• Genetics and inherited traits
• Sun exposure, which can darken or increase the number of moles
• Hormonal changes during puberty or pregnancy
• Aging and cumulative UV exposure over time

When to Consider Removal

While most skin tags and moles are benign, many patients choose removal of moles and skin tags for cosmetic reasons or due to irritation from clothing, shaving, or daily movement.

If you notice changes in size, color, or shape—or if a growth becomes bothersome—it’s best to consult a professional. At Madison Madison Medispa, our experts can determine the most effective solution for your skin. Avoid at-home treatments—especially for sensitive areas like the face or removal of skin tags near eyes—and trust a trained provider for proper care.
