Professional Removal Methods at Pinkal Medical Aesthetics
Cryotherapy: Precision Freezing for Small Lesions
Cryotherapy involves freezing superficial skin tags and some moles with liquid nitrogen. Cold (196 degrees celsius) freeze is sent to the tags which disrupts the cellular structure as cryotherapy causes tag to slough off within 1 to 2 weeks.
Key Features
Procedure Recovery
Mild skin irritations such as redness or blistering will dissipate after a few days. Avoid sun exposure if you don’t want to be tanned.
These tags proven to heal best:
small, non-cancerous skin tags or moles, non-sensitive regions e.g. neck, underarms.
Reason why we recommend use of Pinkal Medical Aesthetics:
We are the ones using temperature-regulated probes so risks of frostbite are minimal. Out of the box freezing kits do not meet therapeutic cold levels.
Pinkal Shave Excision
- Minimally invasive excision for raised tags
- Shave removal is the technique of gently excising skin surface level lesions such as pedunculated skin tags and superficial moles with a scalpel.
- This technique does not need stitches and also protects the surrounding tissue.
Main Features
- Ideal for: A protruding Tag located on the face, neck or chest.
- Scar Risk: Low; post excision hypopigmentation is uncommon but may happen.
- Aftercare: Reinforced care by applying antibiotic ointment for 3-5 days.
What Makes Pinkal Special?
Bleeding and infection risks are reduced when blood vessels are sealed with electrocautery to shave excision performed by our clinicians.
3. Elliptical Excision: Complete Removal for Suspicious Lesions
Tag or deeper moles are surgically removed by Elliptical excision with a border of healthy tissue. The specimen will undergo biopsy examination while the wound is closed with dissolvable sutures.
Main features
- Ideal for: Other atypical moles or malignancy suspected lesions.
- Procedure: Local anesthesia will be used, and the procedure lasts roughly 20-30 minutes.
- Postoperative Care: Raise scars will be minimized using silicone gel sheets after healing.
What Makes Pinkal Special?
In our practice, incisions are done in skin tension lines which is the aesthetic area of scar placement. While expertly closed, these scars are hidden and Dior called eye-catching lines.
4. Cauterization: Heat-Based Removal for Persistent Tags
This method removes small skin deformities, warts, and other lesions by vaporising them with accurate heat known as Cauterization. Due to thermal energy sealing blood vessels, there will be no bleeding or infection.

Combining cauterization with curettage (scraping) helps us to lower the likelihood of recurrence by ensuring complete lesion removal.
5. Punch Biopsy: Diagnostic Precision for Uncertain Lesions
With a punch biopsy, a cylindrical section of skin which ranges between 2–8 mm in diameter is removed for evaluation. It serves evaluation of suspicious moles or rashes and can be tested for malignant or inflammatory processes.

6. I&D: Relief of Abscesses
Incision and Drainage (I&D) is a surgical procedure used to evacuate pus from an infected cyst or boil. After pus evacuation, a small incision is made to relieve tension added within. It is then followed by lavage and packing for healing facilitation.
Key Features
- Best For: Abscess with marked pain and symptoms of erythema or fluctuance.
- Anesthesia: Local anesthesia at the site of the incision provides painlessness.
- Recovery: Use of warm packs along with antibiotics by mouth minimizes chances of secondary infection.

7. Nd Yag Laser: Safest for Erasing Brown Spots

- Sessions:1 to 2 treatments with 4 weeks in between each.
