Skin tag removal often starts with a snag. The necklace clasp that catches on your neck. The watchband that snags as you check the time. A bra strap that rubs the same spot every day.
Skin tags and small benign lesions are usually harmless, but they can become a daily annoyance. They tend to multiply with age, weight changes, hormonal shifts, and friction from clothing and jewelry.
At ANEU Med Spa, our Dream Team offers safe, quick skin tag removal in Madison and McFarland using HyfrecatorⓇ, a precise electrosurgical tool. Most patients leave the office in a single visit with the growths gone.
Skin tags and lesions are umbrella terms for several common, mostly harmless growths that appear on the skin’s surface. Most are entirely benign. They tend to fall into a few groups:
Skin tags (also called acrochordons) are small, soft, flesh-colored growths that hang off the skin on a tiny stalk. They commonly appear on the neck, underarms, eyelids, and groin, especially where skin rubs against itself or clothing.
Cherry angiomas are small, bright red spots that show up on the chest, back, or arms. They are clusters of tiny blood vessels and are completely harmless.
Seborrheic keratoses are slightly raised, often tan or brown growths that look almost waxy. They become more common with age and can appear anywhere on the body.
Sebaceous hyperplasia appears as soft, yellow or skin-toned bumps, usually on the forehead or cheeks. These are enlarged oil glands.
Most of these growths are not medically dangerous. They can still catch on clothing or jewelry, look uneven in photos, or simply bother you in the mirror. Removal is fast, safe, and usually only takes a single appointment. Laser skin tag removal and electrosurgical methods are both highly effective.
Skin tags and lesions show up gradually. Many patients spot one, then notice three more in the same area weeks later. Common signs include:
The triggers vary, but the main contributors are:
If you’re seeing more growths than you used to, that’s normal. Most adults develop at least a few by midlife. The good news is that non-surgical lesion removal is one of the simpler procedures in aesthetic medicine.
At ANEU, skin tag and lesion removal is a quick, targeted, in-office procedure. It is one of our most common blemish treatments and one of the easiest to fit into your schedule. Most patients are surprised by how fast it is and how little recovery is involved. No surgery, no stitches, no time off work.
The HyfrecatorⓇ is the specific electrosurgical device we use to remove skin tags and lesions. It delivers a low-power, precisely controlled electrical current that gently dries out and removes small growths without surgery, stitches, or significant downtime.
Each growth typically takes only a few seconds to treat. We use topical numbing for sensitive areas, so most patients describe it as a painless treatment for minor skin irregularities. The treated area scabs briefly, then heals naturally within 1 to 2 weeks.
The HyfrecatorⓇ is effective for the safe removal of small benign skin growths, including skin tags, cherry angiomas, seborrheic keratoses, sebaceous hyperplasia, and other surface lesions. It also works as a gentle treatment for growths in sensitive areas, such as the eyelids and neck.
For patients with a skin tag under the eye or in other delicate areas, it is one of the most reliable options available. It works for non-invasive removal of unwanted skin growths across the face and body.
Skin tag removal at ANEU is built around two priorities: precision and speed. We treat the growth, not just the surface. We finish quickly, so a single appointment usually handles everything you came in for.
Here is what to expect:
Patients drive in from Fitchburg, Monona, Sun Prairie, Verona, and neighborhoods near Hilldale. Many come in to get a few growths removed before a wedding at Olbrich, a family photo shoot, or a summer trip to the lakes.
Some patients come in for one stubborn skin tag they’ve had for years. Others book a single appointment to clear dozens of small growths across the neck, chest, and underarms. Either way, the process is the same: targeted, quick, and finished before you have time to second-guess it.
Most patients are surprised by how little there is to recover from. The treated spot will form a tiny scab within a day, which will fall off naturally in 1 to 2 weeks. Underneath, the skin is typically smooth and blends with the surrounding area.
There is sometimes a small pink mark in the first few weeks. This fades on its own. For larger growths or sensitive areas, results may take a few weeks to settle fully.

Most skin tags, cherry angiomas, seborrheic keratoses, and sebaceous hyperplasia are completely benign and pose no medical risk. They are removed primarily for cosmetic or comfort reasons. If a growth looks unusual, has changed color or size, or feels different, your provider may recommend a referral to a dermatologist for further evaluation.
Most patients describe it as more uncomfortable than painful. The sensation is similar to a quick warm pinch or snap. For sensitive areas like the eyelids, neck, or under the eyes, we use topical numbing to keep you comfortable throughout.
Yes. Most adults develop more skin tags, cherry angiomas, and seborrheic keratoses with age. Hormonal shifts, weight changes, and accumulated friction all contribute. The good news is that all of these are still easy to remove at any age.
Yes. Skin tags in particular tend to form where skin rubs together or against clothing or jewelry. Common spots include the neck, underarms, eyelids, groin folds, and under bra straps. Reducing friction can help, but most growths still need professional removal once they form.
Yes. HyfrecatorⓇ is one of the most precise tools available for treating growths around the eyelids, under the eyes, and on the neck. With topical numbing and careful technique, even delicate spots respond well to treatment.
Yes. Most skin tags and small lesions can be removed in a single appointment, often in just a few seconds per growth. Patients with multiple growths usually have them all treated in the same visit. Recovery is fast, with most patients back to normal activities the same day.
