How Many Sessions Are Needed for Skin Tag Removal?
In most cases, Skin tag removal is completed in a single session, regardless of the method used. Whether the procedure involves cryotherapy, surgical excision, or electrocautery, the removal process typically takes only one appointment. If multiple skin tags are present, all can usually be treated in the same session, depending on the number and location. The session’s length may vary depending on how many skin tags are being removed, but the actual removal of each tag is typically quick, often lasting only a few minutes per tag.
However, in rare cases, particularly for very large or stubborn skin tags, a follow-up session may be needed. This is more likely if the initial removal method was not fully successful in removing the entire tag, or if additional treatments, such as laser therapy or cryotherapy, are required to target residual tissue. Your provider will be able to give a clear estimate during the consultation regarding how many sessions, if any, are necessary for complete removal.
