Mole & Skin Tag Removal: How It Works & The Healing Process

Let’s face it: moles and skin tags can be unsightly despite being typically innocuous. It is especially true when they appear on prominent regions like your face and neck. To make matters worse, the unfortunate truth is that no matter how pigmented or high coverage your concealers are, they won’t be able to fully conceal these skin growths. The feeling of having your full face of makeup done but having unsightly moles and pigmentation standing out like a sore thumb is deflating, to say the least.

Now, before you feel like all hope is lost, fortunately, we live in an era where there is a plethora of aesthetic treatment options available to get moles and skin tags removed with minimal pain.

In this article, we will go over everything you need to know about mole and skin tag removal – including how the process works and aftercare tips.

Moles VS Skin Tags: Understanding their differences

Before we delve deeper into the removal process, it is crucial first to understand what moles and skin tags are.

Moles are skin growths that typically have a brown or black colour. They may show up anywhere on the skin, elevated or flush with the surface. In their first 20 years of life, most people develop between 10 and 40 moles, and while the majority of these growths are painless and harmless, some may have the potential to develop into cancer.

Skin tags, on the other hand, are tiny, painless, non-cancerous tissue flaps that protrude from the skin. They can be identified by the thin stalks (peduncles) that link them to the skin. Both men and women over the age of 50 are more likely to develop these skin growths. Although they can form anywhere on the body, they are frequently found on the eyelids, neck and thighs.

In most cases, moles and skin tags generally do not pose as any risks to one’s health. However, many individuals still opt to have them removed as they can appear unflattering.

Avone Beauty Secret’s Radio-Wave Mole & Pigmentation Removal

If you are looking to get rid of those unsightly moles and skin tags on your face, we have just the solution for you.

Introducing Avone Beauty Secret’s Radio-Wave Mole & Pigmentation Removal – a quick and effective treatment to help you achieve that flawless complexion you’re after. In less than 5 minutes, we are able to remove a spot with absolutely zero pain, thanks to our latest radio wave technique.

For those worried about pain, fret not, as numbing cream will be administered to the treatment region 15 minutes prior to the removal process, so you won’t feel a thing!

Healing process

Once the treatment is complete, you will see a scab forming around the treated region. This scab will gradually fall off one to two weeks later when new skin begins to emerge. Don’t be alarmed, though; this is merely the body’s way of removing the dead skin.

It is vital that you resist the temptation to pick at or attempt to remove the dead skin on your own. Allowing the skin to recover and heal naturally will result in better outcomes and fewer issues. Imagine going through the entire process of finally getting your moles removed, only to mess up the end results because you couldn’t resist the urge to peel off the dead skin – we couldn’t think of anything worse! So, keep your hands away from your face during the recovery process – we promise the results will make it all worth it.

The length of time it takes for the dead skin to completely peel off and heal varies from person to person and can be anywhere from 3 to 8 months or even more. However, rest assured that the scar will gradually become less noticeable and diminish as time goes by.

Aftercare tips

Here at Avone Beauty Secrets, we pride ourselves on being with you every step of the way – from the initial consultation to after care. That’s why we place a huge significance on ensuring that you can achieve your desired results with no irritation.

No cosmetic or skin care products should be applied to the treated area during the first week of recovery from the removal treatment. As much as possible, the treated area should be kept dry, especially during the first week. We would also advise against facials and hot baths as they could aggravate the treated area. Finally, avoid rubbing or scrubbing the treated region of your face too vigorously when washing your face!

Sounds like too much information to soak in? A copy of the aftercare necessary will be sent to you after the treatment process, so you can refer to that as and when you need to!
