Skin tags (acrochordons) are harmless soft tissue growths that commonly appear on the neck, eyelids, underarms, and chest. While medically benign, they cause cosmetic concern for many patients, especially when located on visible areas like the face and neck. RE:BERRY Myeongdong offers same-day skin tag removal using precision CO2 laser technology, which vaporizes the tissue at its base while minimizing damage to surrounding skin. Head Director Seung-Jae Baek evaluates each growth to rule out other conditions before treatment, ensuring safe skin tag removal with optimal cosmetic outcomes. For patients visiting Seoul on short trips, the entire process from walk-in consultation to completed skin tag removal takes under 30 minutes with zero downtime.
How Skin Tag Removal Works at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
A streamlined four-step process for safe, efficient skin tag removal during your Seoul visit.
Visual and Dermoscopic Assessment
Dr. Seung-Jae Baek examines each skin tag using a dermatoscope to confirm diagnosis and rule out seborrheic keratoses, warts, or other conditions that may look similar. This 5-minute evaluation determines the best removal method for your specific skin tag type and location. Skin tag removal begins only after proper clinical assessment at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.
Topical Anesthesia Application
A topical numbing cream is applied to each skin tag site for 15-20 minutes. For larger or more sensitive areas, local injectable anesthesia may be used. This ensures the skin tag removal procedure is virtually painless. Patients rate discomfort at only 1-2 out of 10 after proper anesthesia at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.
Precision CO2 Laser or Electrocautery Removal
The physician uses a focused CO2 laser beam to vaporize the skin tag at its base, or electrocautery for pedunculated (stalked) tags. CO2 laser skin tag removal offers superior precision with controlled depth, minimizing bleeding and reducing scar risk. Each tag takes only 10-30 seconds to remove. Multiple skin tags can be treated in a single session at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.
Wound Care and Aftercare Instructions
After skin tag removal, a thin layer of antibiotic ointment and a hydrocolloid patch is applied. You receive printed aftercare instructions in your language. The treated area heals in 5-7 days, leaving minimal to no visible scarring. Our team provides follow-up via WhatsApp or LINE even after you leave Seoul, making skin tag removal ideal for travelers visiting RE:BERRY Myeongdong.

The Science Behind Skin Tag Removal with CO2 Laser
Peer-reviewed evidence supporting CO2 laser as a gold-standard method for skin tag removal.
What Are Skin Tags and Why Do They Form?
Skin tags (acrochordons) are benign fibroepithelial polyps composed of a fibrovascular core covered by epidermis. They affect approximately 46% of the general population, with prevalence increasing with age, obesity, and insulin resistance. Common locations include the neck, axillae (underarms), eyelids, and inframammary folds. Skin tags are caused by chronic friction, hormonal changes, and genetic predisposition. While medically harmless, they frequently cause cosmetic distress, irritation from jewelry or clothing, and occasional bleeding when snagged. Professional skin tag removal eliminates these issues permanently.
CO2 Laser Mechanism for Skin Tag Removal
The carbon dioxide (CO2) laser operates at a 10,600 nm wavelength, which is strongly absorbed by intracellular water. When directed at a skin tag, the laser energy vaporizes tissue layer by layer with micron-level precision. This controlled ablation simultaneously coagulates small blood vessels, resulting in a virtually bloodless removal field. Tanzi and Alster (2003) demonstrated that CO2 laser ablation of benign skin lesions achieved a 95% clearance rate with less than 2% hypertrophic scarring, making it one of the most reliable methods for skin tag removal in aesthetic dermatology. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, we use advanced pulsed CO2 laser settings that minimize thermal damage to adjacent tissue.
Electrocautery as an Alternative for Skin Tag Removal
Electrocautery uses controlled electrical current to heat a fine wire tip, which cuts and cauterizes the skin tag base simultaneously. This method is particularly effective for pedunculated (stalked) skin tags on the body. Gupta et al. (2008) compared electrocautery with surgical excision for soft tissue growths and found equivalent clearance rates (98% vs 99%) but significantly shorter healing times with electrocautery (5.2 vs 9.8 days). RE:BERRY Myeongdong physicians select between CO2 laser and electrocautery based on tag size, location, and stalk morphology to optimize each individual skin tag removal outcome.
Post-Removal Wound Healing and Scar Prevention
After CO2 laser skin tag removal, the wound undergoes re-epithelialization over 5-7 days. Applying hydrocolloid dressings maintains optimal moisture levels that accelerate healing by 30-50% compared to dry wound care. Atwan et al. (2015) showed that CO2 laser treatment of benign skin lesions followed by standardized wound care protocols resulted in 92% of patients rating their cosmetic outcome as ‘excellent’ or ‘good’ at 3-month follow-up. Sun protection with SPF 50+ for 4-8 weeks post-treatment is critical to prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, particularly in Fitzpatrick skin types III-V common among Asian patients visiting RE:BERRY Myeongdong.

What Patients Say About Skin Tag Removal at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
“I had over 15 skin tags on my neck that bothered me for years. Dr. Baek removed all of them in one 25-minute session. Zero pain with the numbing cream, and by the time I flew home to Singapore a week later, the scabs had already fallen off.”
“Walked in without an appointment and got my eyelid skin tag removed the same day. The CO2 laser was incredibly precise. No scar at all after 3 weeks. Wish I had done this sooner.”
“The English-speaking coordinator explained everything clearly. Dr. Son removed 8 skin tags from my underarm area quickly and painlessly. The hydrocolloid patches they gave me worked perfectly for aftercare during my trip.”
