Non-surgical removal of skin tags and benign growths. If it bothers you, that alone can justify removal.
Benign skin lesions are non-cancerous growths that develop on the skin's surface. They are medically harmless, but they may be cosmetically bothersome or physically uncomfortable. You do not need a medical justification to have a lesion removed. Removal is a cosmetic decision, provided the lesion is confirmed benign.
Common Types: Skin tags, seborrheic keratoses, dermatosis papulosa nigra (DPN), milia, syringomas, cherry angiomas, sebaceous hyperplasia, xanthelasma, and benign moles (pending clinical assessment).
Benign lesions develop from a combination of genetics, aging, sun exposure, friction, and hormonal changes. Skin tags are common in areas of friction such as the neck, underarms, and eyelids. Seborrheic keratoses and cherry angiomas increase with age. DPN is genetic and more prevalent in darker skin tones. Treating DPN in dark skin requires precise technology and calibrated settings to avoid post-treatment discoloration. Most benign lesions are not preventable and do not indicate underlying disease.
Skin tag removal is one of the most frequently requested procedures at ReNueva.
Uses ionized plasma to remove lesion tissue precisely at the surface without cutting, stitching, or significant scarring. PLEXR is the primary technology for most benign lesion removal, including non-surgical mole removal, because it offers the control needed to remove tissue cleanly while minimizing impact on the surrounding skin. Effective for skin tags, keratoses, milia, syringomas, xanthelasma, and DPN.

Learn morePrecision targeting for vascular lesions such as cherry angiomas and small vascular growths. TORO delivers laser energy matched to hemoglobin absorption, collapsing the vessel that forms the lesion so the body can reabsorb it.
Learn moreMost lesions are treated in a single session. Treatment time is brief, typically 15 to 30 minutes depending on the number and type of lesions. Some lesions may crust or scab before healing. Full healing typically occurs within one to three weeks depending on size and location. Larger or more complex lesions may require a follow-up session.
Temporary redness, mild swelling, and crusting at the treatment site during healing are normal. In darker skin tones, temporary post-inflammatory darkening is possible, which is why technology selection and settings are adjusted accordingly.
All lesions are clinically assessed before treatment to confirm benign status.
Not all benign lesions respond to the same treatment. Vascular lesions require laser energy matched to hemoglobin. Keratin-based growths respond to plasma removal. Pigmented lesions in darker skin tones require careful energy calibration to avoid post-treatment discoloration.
The goal is clean removal with minimal impact on the surrounding skin. This is why the method is selected based on the lesion type, location, size, and the patient's skin tone rather than applying a single approach to everything.
Some lesions that appear benign may require closer evaluation. Any lesion with irregular borders, color variation, or recent changes will be assessed further before cosmetic treatment is considered.
No. You can book a consultation directly. All lesions are assessed to confirm benign status before treatment.
PLEXR PLUS and laser removal are designed to minimize scarring. Most patients heal with minimal to no visible mark.
A treated skin tag will not return, but new ones may develop in the same area over time.
Yes, provided the mole is confirmed benign before treatment. PLEXR PLUS removes the lesion at the surface without cutting or stitching, resulting in minimal scarring.
Yes. Treatment parameters and technology selection are adjusted based on skin tone to minimize the risk of post-treatment discoloration. DPN and other pigmented lesions common in darker skin are treated routinely at ReNueva.
Multiple lesions can often be treated in a single session. Your clinician will assess the number and type during your consultation.
