HYFRECATOR
SKIN TAGS & MILIA TREATMENT

Say goodbye to unwanted skin tags and visible veins without having to devote any downtime away from your busy schedule! A hyfrecator is an advanced electrosurgery device used for the safe, effective removal of skin tags, milia, cherry angiomas, and other stubborn red spots or patches on the skin. These common skin flaws can dramatically age a person and are incredibly difficult to cover up with makeup. Dr. Claudia Kim performs this simple treatment to provide you with a clearer, healthier appearance so you can maintain your youthful look effortlessly.

Dr. Claudia Kim performs this procedure as a quick, in-office treatment. During your session, she will gently place the fine tip of the device against the targeted blemish, transferring controlled electrical energy just below the skin's surface. This energy dries out and destroys the targeted tissue without making any surgical incisions, preventing unwanted scarring.

No major preparation is needed prior to your procedure! Because this is a non-surgical treatment, it does not require the use of general anesthesia. However, Dr. Claudia Kim will gladly apply a topical anesthetic numbing cream to help ease any minor discomfort you may experience during the treatment.

Your session is incredibly fast and should take no longer than 10 to 15 minutes—perfect for squeezing into your lunch break! If you are having a larger number of skin tags or milia removed across a larger area, the treatment may take 30 to 45 minutes.

Yes! Dr. Claudia Kim can instantly remove most skin tags during a single session. However, certain dense milia or deeper blemishes may take three to four weeks to fully naturally shed and disappear. Depending on the amount of blemishes you wish to have removed, a short series of sessions may be necessary to achieve optimal, perfectly clear skin.

There is no "downtime" required, meaning you can return to work immediately. However, some minor, temporary scabbing over the treated spots is common and should pass within the first 10 to 14 days. It is incredibly important to avoid picking at the scabs and to avoid unnecessary sun exposure for one to two weeks after your treatment to allow your skin to heal smoothly. Sunscreen must be worn whenever you head outdoors!

Because this treatment uses localized electrical energy rather than deep incisions or harsh chemicals, it is incredibly safe. However, it must be performed by a medical expert like Dr. Claudia Kim to prevent the risk of burns or scarring.

Yes, the results are long-lasting and permanent for the specific blemishes that are treated. However, because skin tags and cherry angiomas are largely genetic and related to aging, it is always possible for new blemishes to appear in other areas as you get older.

If you have widespread redness, sun damage, or textural issues rather than isolated skin tags or milia, Dr. Claudia Kim may recommend other non-invasive laser treatments. Popular alternatives for full-face clearing include Halo™ Fractional Resurfacing or Forever Young BBL™.
