Skin tags and moles are common skin growths that can appear on different areas of the body. Skin tags are usually soft, flesh-coloured growths that often develop where skin rubs against skin or clothing. Moles are clusters of pigment-producing cells that can appear as flat or raised spots and vary in colour, shape and size.
The exact cause of skin tags is not always clear, but friction, genetics, age and hormonal changes may play a role. Moles develop when pigment-producing cells grow in clusters, with genetics and sun exposure influencing their development. Most skin tags and moles are harmless, but changes in a mole should always be assessed appropriately.
Most skin tags and moles are harmless. However, a mole that changes in size, shape or colour, develops an irregular border, bleeds or becomes persistently itchy or painful should be assessed by a qualified medical professional before considering cosmetic removal.
Plasma Pen uses controlled plasma energy to precisely treat selected skin tags and certain benign skin growths. The treatment works by creating a controlled thermal effect at the skin’s surface, allowing the targeted tissue to gradually resolve as the skin heals.
Suitability depends on the type, size and location of the skin growth. Moles should be medically assessed and cleared before cosmetic removal. Your Dermal Clinician will assess the area and discuss whether Plasma Pen is an appropriate option for you.
