What are the methods used for safe removal at PRISTINE RADIANCE?
We use advanced, precise methods for Wart Removal and Skin Tag Removal tailored to the size, location, and type of growth:
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): This is a highly precise method that uses high-frequency radio waves to remove the growth, often preferred for its precision and excellent cosmetic outcome with minimal bleeding.
Cryotherapy (Freezing): Liquid nitrogen is applied to freeze the wart, causing it to blister and fall off. This is a common and effective method, especially for warts.
Excision/Snip Removal: For larger skin tags or specific growths, a sterile surgical snip or shave excision is performed, often requiring a local anesthetic.
Is the procedure for removing skin tags and warts painful?
The procedures are generally quick and virtually painless. For most removals, we apply a local anesthetic cream or a small injection of local anesthesia to numb the area completely before the procedure begins. This ensures your experience at our Thane clinic is comfortable. You might feel a slight pressure, but no pain.
What is the recovery time after the removal procedure?
Recovery is quick and simple.
Skin Tags: The area usually heals in 3 to 7 days, often leaving a tiny scab that falls off naturally.
Warts: Healing may take slightly longer, sometimes 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the size and depth of the wart.
We provide clear aftercare instructions, typically involving keeping the area clean and protected, which is essential for minimizing the risk of infection and ensuring optimal cosmetic healing.
