Small, benign skin growths such as skin tags and cherry angiomas are very common and harmless, yet they can cause irritation or self-consciousness. At Zare MedSpa in Nottingham, Maryland, we offer safe, professional removal treatments to help you achieve smoother, clearer skin.
Many individuals develop these growths due to genetics, aging, hormonal changes, or skin friction. While typically not a health concern, they may catch on clothing, jewelry, or simply affect your confidence.
Patients from Nottingham, White Marsh, Perry Hall, Parkville, Towson, and throughout Baltimore County trust Zare MedSpa for expert, targeted removal using precise medical techniques.
Treatments are efficient, generally well-tolerated, and involve minimal recovery time for most patients, so you can quickly resume your routine.
This in-office procedure safely eliminates small, non-cancerous skin growths. Common treatable concerns include:
At Zare MedSpa, we use precision cautery (also known as electrocautery or hyfrecation) — a controlled-heat method that precisely targets the growth while protecting surrounding skin.
Sessions typically last 10–20 minutes, depending on the number and size of growths.
Precision cautery is a safe, targeted electrosurgical method widely used in aesthetic medicine to remove benign skin growths. A specialized handheld device with a fine tip delivers a high-frequency electrical current that generates controlled heat.
This heat instantly:
The procedure is highly precise, allowing treatment of even delicate areas (e.g., eyelids, neck) with minimal impact on surrounding healthy skin.
The fine probe cauterizes the base or stalk, causing the tag to shrink and detach cleanly.
Heat targets and seals the clustered tiny blood vessels, flattening the red spot immediately.
Controlled application removes raised or bumpy areas with excellent cosmetic results.
During your consultation, your provider will confirm the growth is benign and explain why cautery is the most appropriate option.
Soft, flesh-colored protrusions that commonly appear in areas of skin friction (neck, underarms, eyelids, chest, groin).
Bright red or purple spots formed by clusters of small blood vessels, often appearing on the torso and increasing in number with age.
Small, non-cancerous bumps or raised areas related to genetics, aging, or chronic irritation.
Select cases may be suitable for removal, based on clinical evaluation and location.
Thorough examination to confirm the growth is benign and discuss treatment options.
The area is cleansed; topical or local anesthetic is applied for comfort if needed.
Controlled heat via cautery safely eliminates the growth(s).
