A skin tag, also known as an acrochordon, is a small, soft, noncancerous growth of skin tissue that's usually harmless and painless. Skin tags are typically the same color as your skin, but can sometimes be darker and look like a raised mole. They can have a stalk and may appear to hang off the skin. Skin tags are usually between 1–5 mm in size, but some can grow to be a few centimeters.

Warts are small, painless, flesh-colored growths on the skin caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They are caused by the virus causing too much keratin to develop in the top layer of skin, which makes warts feel rough and hard. Warts can be round or oval in shape, and they can range in size from a pinhead to a pea. They can appear alone or in groups, and they may have small black dots that look like seeds, which are actually tiny blood clots. Warts are most common on the hands, feet, and knees, but they can appear anywhere on the body.

A benign mole, also known as a melanocytic nevus, is a noncancerous skin growth that is harmless. Benign moles can be found anywhere on the body, including the hands, feet, genitals, eyes, and scalp. They can vary in size, texture, and color, but they are usually: 

• Shape: Round or oval-shaped 

• Size: Smaller than a pencil eraser or 5 millimeters wide 

• Color: Skin-colored, pink, or dark brown, and usually a single color throughout 

• Symmetry: Symmetric, meaning the two halves look the same when a line is drawn through them 

• Edges: Smooth and distinct 

• Texture: Flat or raised, and can have hairs growing out of them.

• While benign moles don't need to be removed, some people may prefer to have them removed if they occur in areas that are prone to irritation. Benign mole removal is a simple in-office procedure 

Cherry angioma, also called cherry hemangioma or Campbell de Morgan Spot, is a small bright red dome-shaped bump on the skin. It ranges between 0.5 – 6 mm in diameter and usually several are present, typically on the chest and arms, and increasing in number with age.

Seborrheic keratosis (seb-o-REE-ik ker-uh-TOE-sis) is a common, noncancerous skin condition that causes wart-like growths. These growths are also known as "barnacles of aging" seborrheic verruca or a senile wart and can appear in visible areas like the face and neck. They can look like scaly, waxy, or pasted-on patches that are slightly raised from the skin and can be white, tan, brown, or black. They can also have a dry scale that can be picked off, or a surface that crumbles when picked. Seborrheic keratoses can appear as a single growth or a cluster of growths, and they can sometimes have tiny white or black "horns" growing from the surface. 

Seborrheic keratoses are caused by immature epidermal keratinocytes and are more common in people over 50, but younger adults can also get them. They usually appear gradually and can be itchy or bleed. They don't spread, aren't contagious, and aren't viral or bacterial. 

​

Treatments for seborrheic keratosis include Plasma Pen, cryotherapy, electrosurgery, curettage, laser treatment, and dermabrasion. 

Sunspots, also known as age spots, liver spots, or solar lentigines, are flat, dark areas on the skin that are caused by sun exposure. They are a type of hyperpigmentation, a condition that causes some areas of the skin to be darker than others. Sunspots are caused by UV light, which speeds up pigment production in the skin. The pigment collects in areas that are more vulnerable to sun exposure or have thin skin, such as the face, hands, shoulders, arms, back, and feet. 

This is treated with Plasma Pen skin spray, spot removal, chemical peels, and SkinMedica Spot correct cream  We can totally erase and wipe these out with the worlds #1 Plasma Pen treatment and resurfacing.

Stretch marks, also known as striae, are scar-like lines or bands that appear on the skin when it's overstretched. They can be red, purple, pink, bluish, or dark brown at first, but over time they fade and become lighter, often appearing white or silvery. Stretch marks can also have a different texture than the surrounding skin and may be slightly depressed.  All body areas can be treated.

Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles under the skin become clogged with oil, skin cells, and bacteria. This blockage, called a comedone, can lead to outbreaks of lesions, commonly known as pimples or zits. Acne can also cause whiteheads, blackheads, and red, inflamed patches of skin called cysts and scaring. 

We can treat with acne medications such as antibiotics, Retin-A, medical grade skin peels, The Plasma Pen spray, microneedling for scaring, facials and more.
