Dermatologists with cosmetic training like Dr. Tzu are specialists in the removal of moles , skin tags and other benign growths for aesthetic reasons.

Skin tags are non-cancerous growths of the skin, most commonly found on the neck, armpit, back, and groin. Skin tags are often a cosmetic nuisance to people and can be easily removed. The procedure is quick, safe, and there is no recovery time.

Keep in mind that normal skin tag removal in NYC is generally not a service covered by insurance, unless there is true medical necessity as deemed by your dermatologist.

“ Most adults develop skin tags somewhere on their body and dislike their appearance. Skin tag removals are therefore one of the most routine procedures performed in my office. It is quick, painless, safe, and offers immediately satisfying results. ” – Dr. Julia Tzu, MD, FAAD

There are various treatment options for removing skin tags, and the best option will be determined by our dermatologist in NYC . In summary, the treatment options generally involve:

• Cutting off a skin tag with surgical equipment
• Freezing the skin tag with liquid nitrogen (also called cryotherapy)
• Burning a skin tag off using specialized high-energy electrical equipment

While these procedures may sound difficult, they are routine procedures that are done on an almost daily basis at Wall Street Dermatology. Dr. Tzu has the medical knowledge and experience from thousands of skin tag removals to recommend the best path for you.

The typical skin tag removal cost in NYC for cosmetic purposes start at $300, but actual pricing will depend on number, location, and size. Unlike medical procedures, insurance typically doesn’t cover skin tag removal. As a result, the cost of skin tag removal is paid out of pocket. The cost will be higher if there are multiple skin tags being removed, the skin tag is large, or if the skin tag is located in a complex area.
