Plasma Pen Treatment for Unwanted Skin Tags
A skin tag may be harmless, but it can still become frustrating when it catches on clothing, jewellery or during shaving. When it sits in a visible area, it may also make you feel more conscious of your skin or affect how comfortable the area feels.
Plasma pen skin tag removal is a non surgical cosmetic treatment designed to target suitable unwanted skin tags with controlled plasma energy. The treatment focuses precisely on the skin tag while aiming to minimise disruption to the surrounding skin. Once the area has healed, the skin may appear smoother and clearer, helping you feel less distracted by a tag that has become difficult to ignore.
Assessment Comes Before Skin Tag Removal
Before plasma pen treatment is recommended, Kathleen will examine the area and discuss what has been bothering you. This consultation helps her consider whether the concern appears suitable for cosmetic skin tag removal and what you can realistically expect from treatment.
The number, size and location of the skin tags will influence the recommended approach. A single small tag may require a different treatment plan from several tags across the same area, so treatment is not carried out using a one size fits all method.
Not every raised skin concern should automatically be treated as a skin tag. If Kathleen does not consider plasma pen removal appropriate, she will explain this clearly rather than encouraging you to proceed. This assessment led approach gives you the opportunity to ask questions, understand the expected process and make an informed decision before treatment begins.
What to Expect During Skin Tag Removal
Knowing what to expect can make skin tag removal feel much less daunting. Plasma pen treatment uses controlled pulses of plasma energy directed precisely at the unwanted tissue, allowing Kathleen to focus on the skin tag while aiming to minimise unnecessary disruption to the surrounding skin.
- Treatment method: Controlled plasma energy delivered through a plasma pen
- Treatment focus: Precise application to the individual skin tag
- Appointment time: Approximately 30-45 minutes
- Timing factors: The number and size of the skin tags being treated
- Approach: A quick, non surgical treatment carried out with care and control
Treating one small skin tag may take less time than addressing several or larger tags. Kathleen will explain each stage clearly, helping you feel informed and more at ease throughout the appointment.
Caring for the Area After Skin Tag Removal
The treated area needs time to heal after plasma pen skin tag removal. Mild redness, tenderness or swelling may be noticeable for a few days, and a small scab will usually form. This is a normal part of healing and should be allowed to fall away naturally.
First 24 Hours
- Keep the treated area clean and dry.
- Avoid touching, rubbing or picking the area.
- Do not apply make up directly over the treated skin.
First 48 Hours
- Avoid swimming pools, saunas and steam rooms.
- Avoid strenuous exercise that may cause excessive sweating.
- Continue to protect the area from rubbing or unnecessary contact.
Do not pick or remove the scab, as this may disturb healing and increase the risk of scarring. Apply any aftercare products recommended by Kathleen and avoid direct sun exposure. Sun protection should be applied once the skin has healed.
Healing usually takes upto 14 days, depending on the size and location of the skin tag. Contact the clinic if you experience excessive redness, swelling, pain, discharge or other signs of infection.
