Age wart, Skin tag & other lesion removal
What Is Age Wart/Skin Tag Removal?
Age warts (seborrhoeic keratoses) and skin tags are common, benign skin growths that tend to develop over time or in areas of friction, such as the neck, underarms, or eyelids. While harmless, they can become cosmetically bothersome or physically irritating. Removal is often sought to improve appearance or relieve discomfort caused by rubbing or catching on clothing or jewellery.
How It Works
Removal is performed using a range of techniques depending on the size, location, and number of lesions. Options include cryotherapy (freezing), electrosurgery (cautery), excision, or treatment with a carbon dioxide (CO₂) laser, which vaporises the growth with high precision. Procedures are quick, performed under local anaesthesia, and tailored to ensure minimal discomfort and an optimal cosmetic result.
Technology
At Hunter Coast Dermatology & Laser, we use medical-grade technology including CO₂ laser, cryotherapy, and electrosurgery to remove age warts and skin tags safely and effectively. The CO₂ laser is particularly effective for treating multiple lesions or delicate areas, offering a refined approach with excellent cosmetic outcomes.

Cosmetic Enhancement
Removing age warts and skin tags can significantly improve the appearance of the skin, especially in visible areas such as the face, neck, or underarms. It helps restore smoother skin texture and a more even tone by eliminating raised or pigmented growths that may draw attention.
Relief from Irritation
These benign growths can cause ongoing discomfort due to friction from clothing, jewellery, or shaving. Removal can alleviate irritation, prevent snagging, and make everyday activities more comfortable—particularly when growths are located in high-friction areas.
Advanced and Minimally Invasive Treatment
Modern techniques, including carbon dioxide (CO₂) laser, offer a precise, gentle method for removing lesions with minimal impact on surrounding skin. This approach reduces downtime and scarring while delivering excellent cosmetic results, making it ideal for sensitive or cosmetically important areas.
