Cosmetic Mole & Skin Tag Removal

Introducing Our High-Frequency Electrosurgical Equipment

At Brisbane Skin, Dr Watson uses high-frequency electrosurgical equipment, suitable for light and medium surgery, to gently and precisely remove moles and skin tags. Here’s what makes this approach stand out:

• Precision: The equipment accurately targets the mole, helping to minimise the impact on surrounding skin.
• Minimal Discomfort: This advanced technique is designed to reduce discomfort both during and after the procedure.
• Reduced Scarring: By focusing solely on the mole/skin tag tissue, there is less disruption to healthy skin, which can lead to quicker healing and minimal scarring.
• Short Recovery Time: Most patients experience a rapid recovery, allowing them to resume their usual activities sooner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is mole/skin tag removal painful?
A: Most patients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure, thanks to local anaesthesia and the minimally invasive nature of our high-frequency electrosurgical method.

Q: Will there be a scar?
A: Any procedure that breaks the skin can result in scarring, but our technique and expertise help ensure the smallest possible scar. With proper aftercare, the scar often fades over time.

Q: How long does the procedure take?
A: The duration depends on the number of moles/skin tags being treated. Most procedures are completed within 30 minutes to an hour.

Q: How soon can I resume my normal activities?
