Skin Growths & Bumps
Benign skin growths like tags, keratoses, and angiomas are incredibly common — and they can be safely and effectively removed with precision-based treatments.
Many people develop small skin growths or bumps over time. While most of these are non-cancerous, they may be bothersome cosmetically or cause irritation from clothing or shaving. At Skin Care Laser YXE, we offer safe, quick, and effective removal of common skin growths using high-frequency electrocautery and laser treatment options. Each removal procedure is performed with a focus on comfort, hygiene, and minimal recovery time.
Common Skin Growths We Treat
- Skin Tags: Small, soft, flesh-colored outgrowths that often appear in skin folds (neck, underarms, eyelids).
- Cherry Angiomas: Bright red, dome-shaped lesions caused by clusters of dilated blood vessels.
- Seborrheic Keratoses: Waxy, wart-like brown or black growths that sit on the surface of the skin.
- Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (DPN): Small, dark bumps typically found on the face and neck in darker skin tones.
- Milia: Tiny white bumps caused by trapped keratin beneath the skin’s surface, often around the eyes and cheeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these growths dangerous?
Most common skin growths are completely benign. However, we require that all lesions be examined and cleared by your family doctor prior to treatment to ensure they are not suspicious or cancerous.
Is removal painful?
We use a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort. Most clients feel only mild heat or pressure during the procedure.
Will the growth come back?
Once removed, most lesions do not return. However, new ones may appear over time depending on your genetics and skin type.
Will there be a scar?
Most removals heal with minimal or no visible scarring. However, we cannot guarantee scar-free results, especially in clients prone to pigmentation or keloid formation.
