Skin Tag Removal in Costa Mesa, CA
Skin Tags Treatment
Skin tags, also known as acrochordons, are small, soft, benign growths that typically appear on parts of the body where skin rubs against itself or clothing. While completely harmless, they can be frustrating, embarrassing, or even painful, especially when they snag, bleed, or draw unwanted attention.

What Are Skin Tags?
Skin tags are non-cancerous growths that typically range from a few millimeters to over a centimeter in size. They’re usually flesh-toned or slightly darker and tend to hang off the skin by a small stalk or peduncle. Although benign, they can be cosmetically undesirable or uncomfortable, especially in areas that experience frequent friction or pressure.
Their most common locations include necks, underarms, groins, eyelids, beneath the breasts, and along upper chest or back folds. These locations are particularly prone to skin lesion formation due to ongoing friction from clothing or movement.
Why Skin Tags Form & What Makes Them Grow?
While most skin tags remain small, others can become larger over time. This is due to a combination of overlapping causes that contribute to both their formation and growth:
- Persistent Friction
Ongoing rubbing in specific areas—like underarms, neck folds, or beneath the breasts—can stimulate skin cell overgrowth, encouraging both the appearance and enlargement of skin tags. - Increased Blood Supply
As some skin tags grow, they may develop additional capillaries. This enhanced blood flow sustains the tissue and allows it to expand further. - Hormonal Influences
Fluctuations during pregnancy, menopause, or from conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) not only trigger the development of new tags but can also lead to increased size in existing ones. - Genetic Predisposition
If skin tags run in your family, you’re more likely to develop them—and they may be more numerous or larger due to inherited factors. - Weight and Age
Middle-aged adults and individuals who are overweight tend to have more skin folds, which increases friction and creates a more favorable environment for both forming and growing skin tags.
Though benign, larger skin tags can become bothersome. They may snag on jewelry or clothing, leading to irritation or minor bleeding. Additionally, they can cause self-consciousness, especially when located in visible areas like the face or neck. For many in Costa Mesa, seeking skin tag removal becomes a step toward increased comfort and confidence—not just for cosmetic reasons but for everyday ease.
Laser Skin Tag Removal: Safe, Precise, & Effective
Our team performs laser skin tag removal using an advanced laser that maximizes precision and minimizes disruption to surrounding tissue. Unlike traditional removal methods, laser treatment is clean, non-invasive, and delivers aesthetic results with minimal scarring.
Why Our Laser Treatment Stands Out:
- Pinpoint Precision
The laser accurately targets the skin tag without harming the surrounding skin—an essential benefit when treating sensitive or visible areas like the face, eyelids, or underarms. - Comfortable Procedure
This technology delivers laser energy in a controlled, gentle manner, making the treatment highly tolerable. It is common for patients to report only mild warmth or tingling. - Quick Recovery
Compared to excision or freezing, the laser promotes faster healing with minimal redness or scabbing. There is little to no downtime, and most clients resume normal activities the same day. - No Stitches, No Scars
Because there are no incisions, patients don’t need sutures or bandages, and the risk of scarring or infection is significantly reduced. - Safe for All Skin Types
Our customizable laser settings allow for safe and effective treatment across all skin tones and types, minimizing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
At Babyface Beauty Wellness, your safety, comfort, and cosmetic outcome are our top priorities. Our licensed skincare professionals bring years of experience and industry-leading tools to every treatment session, so you can feel fully confident from consultation to recovery.
Recommended Treatment Plan:
Treatment Frequency:
- Most tags removed in one session. Follow-up (4–6 weeks) may be advised for multiples or larger growths.
Procedure Time:
- 15–30 minutes, based on the number/location of tags.
Downtime:
- Minimal. A small scab may form and fall off within 7 days.

Pre-Treatment Guidelines:
To ensure your safety and the best results, please follow these instructions:
- Consult a Medical Professional: If the lesion appears irregular or suspicious, we require clearance from a dermatologist before proceeding with cosmetic removal.
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Keep the treatment area protected from the sun for at least a week before your appointment.
- Clean, Product-Free Skin: Arrive with the treatment area free from lotions, deodorant, or makeup.
Post-Treatment Care Instructions:
After your laser skin tag removal, gentle aftercare is essential for smooth healing and beautiful results:
- Apply Re-Epithelizing Cream: Use as directed to support skin recovery and soothe the treated area.
- Expect Minor Bleeding: A small amount of bleeding may occur. Apply pressure with a clean gauze pad for a few minutes.
- Protect with SPF: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+) daily to avoid pigment changes in the healing area.
- For Darker Skin Tones: Apply a topical corticosteroid twice daily for 5–7 days to reduce inflammation and prevent hyperpigmentation.
- Avoid Harsh Products: Stick to gentle cleansers and avoid exfoliants until the area has fully healed.
FAQS
Skin tags are completely benign and non-cancerous. While they may be bothersome or cosmetically unappealing, they do not pose any medical risk.
Most patients experience only a mild tingling or gentle warmth during the procedure. The treatment is generally well tolerated, and numbing is typically not required.
It is rare for a skin tag to return to the same spot once it has been removed. However, new skin tags may develop in other areas over time, especially in zones prone to friction.
Results are visible immediately after the procedure. The treated area will fully heal within approximately one week, revealing smoother skin.
Laser technology is precise and gentle, making it ideal for treating sensitive or hard-to-reach areas such as the eyelids, underarms, and neck.
Our advanced laser equipment is designed to safely treat all skin types and tones while minimizing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
In most cases, skin tag removal is regarded as cosmetic and not covered by insurance. However, some insurance providers may offer partial or full coverage if the removal is deemed medically necessary, such as for tags that bleed, become irritated, or cause discomfort. We recommend checking with your individual insurance plan for details.
