The procedures used for wart and skin tag removal are generally painless, as local anesthesia is applied to minimize discomfort during the treatment.
Warts are skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can be treated through methods like cryotherapy, laser treatment, or surgery.
Skin tags form due to constant friction in areas like the neck and armpits. They can be removed using laser treatment or surgery.
The healing time depends on the type of treatment used, but recovery is usually quick, with the skin returning to normal in a few days to weeks.
While treatments are usually effective, in some rare cases, warts or skin tags may return if there are underlying factors like infection or ongoing friction.
At Emora Polyclinic, we understand how small details, like a skin tag or wart, can have a big impact on how someone feels about their skin. Therefore, using the latest medical technologies, we provide modern, reliable solutions for their removal in a safe, expert setting.
The human papillomavirus (HPV) is the cause of warts, which are tiny, itchy skin growths. They’re contagious and can appear anywhere—hands, feet, face—you name it. Some are flat, some are raised, and while they’re usually harmless, they can be annoying or even painful, especially plantar warts on the soles of the feet.
Conversely, soft, skin-colored flaps known as skin tags typically show up where the skin rubs—such as the neck, underarms, eyelids, or groin. Though many find them ugly or unpleasant, they are not harmful.
We at Emora reject one-size-fits-all remedies. We assess every case separately to select the best suitable and efficient solution for your skin.
Freezing treatment, or cryotherapy
Cryotherapy—freezing the wart with liquid nitrogen—is among the most often used techniques we employ. It doesn't call for any cutting or stitching; it's quick and easy. The wart naturally falls off following treatment.
Removal by Laser
We apply laser technology for more sensitive or stubborn areas. This technique lets us target the afflicted tissue exactly without harming the surrounding skin. It's especially helpful for delicate areas like the face or for warts that haven't responded to other treatments.
Small Surgical Removal
Sometimes, especially for bigger skin tags or warts, a minor surgical operation would be the best choice. Usually taking a few minutes, it is performed under local anesthesia. The results are instantaneous, and usually the healing process is seamless.
Electrosurgery (Cauterization)
Using a controlled electrical current, electrosurgery—also known as cauterization—allows us to remove skin tags and warts with minimum bleeding and a very short recovery time. For small to medium-sized growths, this extremely exact technique performs rather effectively.
Although most of the time warts and skin tags are benign, there are several reasons people decide to have them removed:
Particularly when they rub against clothes, they can be uncomfortable.
If untreated, warts can spread to other people or areas.
Skin tags can be bothersome while shaving or sporting jewelry.
Most importantly, many people just want better, more smooth skin—and that's plenty of justification.
If you’ve noticed a wart or skin tag that’s growing, changing color, or starting to hurt—or if it’s just bothering you—it’s a good idea to have it looked at. Based on your skin type, location of the growth, and degree of comfort, we at Emora Polyclinic will walk you through your choices and suggest the best course of action.
