Skin Tag & Wart removal
Are skin tags, warts, or raised spots causing friction or making you self-conscious? Fenix’s Clinical Skin Tag & Wart Removal offers a swift, sterile, non-surgical solution to clear unwanted lesions.
Benign skin growths can be hard to remove with creams and may scar or infect if picked. At Fenix, we use medical-grade technologies like Cryotherapy and Electrocautery Plasma Therapy to treat lesions. By freezing or cauterizing tissue, we destroy the lesion’s blood supply while keeping healthy skin intact.

How it works
How Cryotherapy & Electrocautery Work
Depending on the lesion type, size, and depth, our clinical team selects the optimal non-surgical removal method.
The Targeted Removal Methods:
-
Cryotherapy (Precision Freezing): Delivers ultra-cold liquid nitrous oxide pinpointed directly onto the lesion. The rapid freezing causes intracellular fluid to crystallize, breaking down the cell walls and cutting off the blood supply.
-
Electrocautery / Plasma Cauterization: Uses a micro-current tip to deliver controlled thermal energy, vaporizing the lesion at the stem and instantly sealing tiny capillaries to prevent bleeding.
Areas Treated
Key Lesion Types & Treatment Areas
Viral Warts (Verrucas)
Rough, raised viral growths commonly appearing on hands, fingers, and soles of the feet.
Seborrheic Keratoses
Elevated, crusty, or waxy spots that develop with aging on the chest, back, or face.
Milia
Tiny, hard white keratin spots typically located around the delicate eye zone and upper cheekbones.
The Process
Your Treatment Journey Expectations
-
Clinical Assessment & Screening
Our practitioner examines the lesion under magnification to confirm it is completely benign and safe for cosmetic removal. (Any suspicious moles or atypical pigmented spots will be referred to a dermatologist/GP for biopsy).
-
Sanitization & Local Numbing (if required)
The treatment site is disinfected. For larger tags or electrocautery, a mild topical anesthetic is applied for complete comfort.
-
Precision Treatment Application
The CryoPen® tip or electrocautery device is applied directly to the lesion stem for a few seconds.
-
Antiseptic Dressing & Aftercare
A protective antiseptic ointment or small adhesive bandage is applied over the site to protect the freshly treated area.

Clients wanting a fast, walk-in walk-out treatment with zero downtime.
Who Should Avoid Treatment:
-

-
Active infections, open sores, or cold sores in the immediate treatment area.

Individuals prone to severe keloid scarring (caution advised for electrocautery).
Aftercare
Recovery & Essential Aftercare Guidelines
To maximize your results and maintain a smooth recovery:
Keep the Area Clean & Dry
Wash gently with mild soap and pat dry; do not rub or pick at the treated zone.
Do NOT Pick or Scratch the Scab
Allow the protective scab to fall off naturally to prevent pitted scarring or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Apply Broad-Spectrum SPF 50
Once the scab falls off, apply sunscreen daily to protect the fresh, new skin underneath from sun spots.
Avoid Submerging in Water for 48 Hours
Skip saunas, hot tubs, steam rooms, and swimming pools until the initial scab has formed.
Side Effects
Potential Side Effects & Safety Considerations
Clinical lesion removal is exceptionally safe. Normal, short-term responses include:
-
A mild stinging or burning sensation during treatment that subsides within minutes.
-
A small protective scab or minor blistering (common with cryotherapy) at the target site.
-
Temporary light pinkness or slight skin lightening (hypopigmentation) as new skin heals, which gradually blends with your natural skin tone over a few weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions About Skin Tag & Wart Removal
Between 20 and 30 minutes, covering the clinical assessment, the sanitisation and any numbing, the application itself and the antiseptic dressing at the end.

The shedding process begins right away, and removal of the treated growth is permanent.
One to two weeks. A small protective scab forms over the site and is left to fall off naturally.
Yes — treatment takes only seconds per lesion, which is what makes a single appointment enough for several of them.
A mild stinging or burning during treatment, a small protective scab or minor blistering, and temporary pinkness or slight lightening of the skin that blends back over a few weeks.
The technology is precise enough to leave surrounding healthy tissue undamaged, which minimises the risk of scarring or hypopigmentation. Letting the scab fall off on its own rather than picking it is the other half of that.
Keep the area clean and dry and do not rub or pick it. Once the scab has fallen off, apply a broad-spectrum SPF 50 daily to protect the new skin underneath.
Nothing in particular — the first step is an examination under magnification to confirm the lesion is benign and safe for cosmetic removal.
It treats benign growths — skin tags, viral warts, seborrheic keratoses and milia. Suspicious, changing, bleeding or dark pigmented lesions are referred for formal medical evaluation and biopsy instead.
