Safe Removal for Skin Tags, Moles, and Blemishes

For most benign growths like skin tags or DPNs, I use a CO2 laser that treats the area with high precision, leaving the surrounding skin untouched. Most of these procedures are performed in a single, short visit, and you can usually return to your daily activities immediately.

How I Approach Blemish Removal

Not all skin growths are treated the same way. When you come to the clinic, we first assess the lesion to decide the safest and most effective method. My priority is clear: minimal downtime and no unnecessary scarring.

CO2 Laser for DPNs and Skin Tags

For tiny brown spots like Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (DPN) or common skin tags, I use a CO2 laser. It acts like a precision tool, removing the growth without damaging the healthy tissue around it. We use a topical numbing cream for 30–40 minutes before the procedure so it is essentially painless. You might see a small dry scab, which naturally falls off in about 3 to 5 days.

Surgical Excision for Xanthelasma

Some growths, like xanthelasma (yellow cholesterol deposits around the eyes), require a different approach. Because these deposits sit deeper, I perform a surgical excision. It is a minor day-care procedure where the area is numbed, the deposit is removed, and fine sutures are placed. These sutures are typically removed after 7 days.

Extraction for Comedones

For conditions like senile comedones—those large, open blackheads often found on aging skin—I use a safe extraction method. This often provides an immediate, visible improvement in skin texture in just one sitting.

Why Professional Care Matters

I strongly advise against DIY removal or using over-the-counter liquids. These can lead to chemical burns, infection, or permanent scarring. When you come to my clinic in Noida or at Fortis Hospital, you get a clean, sterile environment and a procedure tailored to your skin type. If you are conscious about a specific growth, book an appointment, and let's get it resolved safely.
