Cosmetic Skin Tag Removal | Cryotherapy & Lesion Treatment
Cosmetic skin tag removal is a safe, effective, and minimally invasive procedure designed to eliminate unwanted skin growths, age spots, and blemishes that affect the appearance and texture of your skin.

Our cosmetic skin tag removal and lesion treatments are ideal for those seeking to enhance their skin’s appearance and restore confidence.
What Is Cosmetic Lesion Removal?
Cosmetic skin tag removal and lesion treatment refers to the targeted elimination of benign (non-cancerous) skin growths and discolorations that are primarily removed for aesthetic reasons rather than medical necessity. These lesions can appear anywhere on the body but are commonly found on the face, neck, arms, and torso.
Common types of cosmetic lesions include:
Skin tags
Moles
Warts
Seborrheic keratosis
Actinic (liver) spots
Other benign pigmented lesions
These growths are harmless in most cases but can be bothersome due to appearance, texture, or irritation from clothing or jewelry. Many patients pursue removal to smooth out their skin’s texture and regain confidence in their appearance.
Why Choose Cryotherapy for Lesion Removal?
At Body Blu Medical Center, we use cryotherapy — a proven technique that freezes skin lesions using liquid nitrogen — making it one of the most popular and effective skin lesion treatments available in a cosmetic setting.
Cryotherapy Benefits:
Non-surgical and minimally invasive: No cuts or incisions.
Quick treatment: Most lesions can be treated in a few minutes.
Fast recovery: Healing typically occurs within days to weeks.
Low risk: Side effects are generally mild and temporary.
Effective: Works well for many common cosmetically bothersome growths.
During the cryotherapy process, extremely cold liquid nitrogen is applied precisely to the lesion, causing the skin cells to freeze and break down. In the following days, the treated tissue typically dries up and falls off naturally, revealing smoother skin underneath.
Conditions We Treat
Our cosmetic skin tag removal and lesion treatments are tailored to address a variety of skin concerns, including:
Skin Tags
Small, soft, benign growths that hang from the skin’s surface. Skin tags often occur in areas of friction or creases and can be removed easily with cryotherapy.
Moles
Raised or flat pigmented spots on the skin. While most moles are harmless, many patients choose to remove them for aesthetic reasons or if they rub against clothing.
Seborrheic Keratoses
A common type of benign skin lesion that can appear rough, waxy, or wart-like. These are frequently removed to improve skin appearance.
Liver Spots & Actinic (Sun) Spots
Flat pigmented areas caused by sun exposure, often appearing with age. These can be treated with cryotherapy to fade or eliminate the spot.
Warts and Other Growths
Many benign viral or skin growths can be treated with cryotherapy, depending on size and location.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Your cosmetic lesion removal consultation begins with a comprehensive skin evaluation. A trained clinician examines the lesion to determine whether it is suitable for cryotherapy and to rule out any suspicious or potentially cancerous features.
During the Procedure:
Preparation: The clinician will evaluate the lesion and the surrounding skin.
Cryotherapy Application: Liquid nitrogen is applied directly to the growth using a precision applicator.
Treatment Time: The freezing may last just a few seconds up to one minute, depending on the lesion type and size.
Post-Treatment Care: You’ll receive instructions on how to care for your skin as it heals.
Most patients tolerate the procedure well with only mild discomfort. The treated area may appear red or slightly swollen immediately afterward, which is part of the normal healing process.
Recovery & Aftercare
After cosmetic skin tag removal, the treated tissue progressively dries and falls off over several days. Most areas heal fully with minimal to no scarring when proper aftercare is followed. Common aftercare recommendations include:
Keeping the area clean and dry
Avoiding picking or scratching at the treated site
Avoiding direct sun exposure during healing
Small scabs may form and typically resolve within 1–3 weeks. Follow-up visits can help ensure proper healing and address any questions.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Good candidates for cosmetic skin tag removal and lesion treatment are adults who:
Have benign, cosmetically bothersome lesions
Are in generally good health
Understand the aesthetic goals and expectations
It’s important to rule out any potentially precancerous or suspicious lesions before cosmetic removal. If a lesion shows signs of irregular shape, asymmetry, rapid growth, or changes in color, a dermatologist may recommend further evaluation before treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is cosmetic skin tag removal painful?
Mild discomfort can occur during and shortly after treatment, but most patients report minimal pain.
Will my procedure be covered by insurance?
Cosmetic lesion removal is typically considered an elective service and is not covered by most insurance plans. Patients are responsible for out-of-pocket payment.
Will removal leave a scar?
How many treatments will I need?
Many lesions are cleared in one session, though larger or thicker growths may require follow-up treatments.
How soon will I see results?
Visible improvement begins as the lesion falls off, typically within 1–2 weeks.
What Are Skin Tags?
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, skin tags are common, benign growths that often appear where skin rubs against skin or clothing, and they may be removed if they become irritating or cosmetically bothersome.
