Mole & Skin Tag Removal

Mole & Skin Tag Removal: Clear, Smooth Skin at Health Horizons

Unwanted moles and skin tags are very common, and while they are typically benign, they can become irritated, catch on clothing or jewelry, or simply be cosmetically bothersome. At Health Horizons, we offer safe, professional mole and skin tag removal with a focus on comfort, precision, and proper medical evaluation.

Every treatment begins with a provider consultation to ensure the growth is appropriate for cosmetic removal and to determine the safest, most effective method for your skin.

🔬 Why Evaluation Comes First

Not all moles and skin tags should be removed cosmetically. Some require medical assessment before any procedure is performed. That’s why a consultation is required prior to treatment.

During your visit, your provider will:

• Examine the lesion closely
• Determine if it is safe for cosmetic removal
• Select the most appropriate removal technique
• Minimize risk of scarring and support proper healing

Safety and skin health always come first.

✨ Treatment Options for Mole & Skin Tag Removal

At Health Horizons, removal is performed with precision and typically begins with local numbing of the area to ensure patient comfort.

Depending on the size, type, and location of the mole or skin tag, your provider may use one of the following methods:

🩺 Shave or Surgical Excision

A sterile scalpel is used to carefully shave or cut off the mole or skin tag at skin level. This technique is commonly used for raised lesions and allows for precise removal with minimal disruption to surrounding tissue.

⚡ Bovi Machine (Electrocautery)

A Bovi machine (electrocautery device) may be used to gently cauterize and remove smaller skin tags or to refine the treatment area after excision. This helps reduce bleeding and supports a clean, controlled result.

Your provider will determine the best technique based on:

• Type of lesion
• Size and depth
• Location on the body
• Skin sensitivity and healing factors

💫 What to Expect

Mole and skin tag removal is typically:

• Quick, in-office procedure
• Performed with local numbing for comfort
• Minimal downtime
• Followed by simple aftercare instructions

Mild redness or scabbing may occur as the skin heals, and results continue to improve as the area recovers.
