Skin tags can be removed through:

• Cryotherapy – Freezing the tag with liquid nitrogen.

• Electrocautery – Burning the tag off using a small electric current.

• Surgical Excision – Cutting the tag off with scissors or a scalpel.

• Laser Removal – Using a precise laser beam, such as Fotona 4D, to target and remove the tag.

• Ligation – Tying off the base of the tag to cut blood supply, causing it to fall off naturally.

Yes. When performed by a doctor or dermatologist, skin tag removal is generally safe and effective. Fotona is especially precise, reducing the risk of scarring, infection, or damage to surrounding skin.

Skin tags and lesions are usually harmless, but removal is recommended if:

• They become irritated by clothing or jewelry

• They cause discomfort or bleeding

• You want to improve skin appearance for cosmetic reasons

Some people try natural remedies such as tea tree oil or apple cider vinegar, but these are often ineffective and may cause skin irritation. It’s best to consult a doctor or clinic in Malaysia for professional removal methods like Fotona for safer, more predictable results.

Most small skin tags and lesions can be removed in a single Fotona session. Larger or multiple lesions may require follow-up treatments.

Fotona offers minimal downtime. Patients can usually return to normal activities immediately, with only mild redness or sensitivity in the treated area.

Fotona is designed to be comfortable and well-tolerated. Patients may feel a mild warming or tingling sensation, but the procedure is quick and far less invasive than surgical excision.
