Cryotherapy is a reliable method when it comes to the removal of skin tags. Majority of the people will prefer this method because it is not intrusive and will be complete in only a few minutes. Most of the skin tags will go away after a few weeks while others will require more sessions. Below are the pros and cons of removing skin tags through the cryotherapy method.
Pros

• Lower risk of getting an infection: Since a cryotherapy skin tag removal method is not intrusive, there will be less risk of getting an infection after the treatment.
• Little preparation required: It will be possible to book an appointment on a short notice as the process is not complicated and will only take a few minutes.
• There will be no wound that will require aftercare: The skin tag will simply fall off and no wound will be left in its place.
• It is cheaper compared to other skin tag removal methods: The amount that one will pay for the skin tag removal is less compared to the amount that one will pay for other skin tag removal methods like the laser method.

Cons

• Possibility of bleeding
• Headache
•  Hypopigmentation: There may a be change in skin color on the treated skin making the spot appear lighter.
•  Formation of blisters: After the skin tag falls off, a blister will form on that spot but it will only last a few days.
• More than one session may be required: Removal of a skin tag through the cryotherapy method may not be successful after one session and repeat sessions have to be arranged. This may make the entire process more expensive as you have to pay for every session.

To reduce the occurrence of some of these side effects, you should ensure that the procedure is carried out in a professional spa where the right procedure and the best materials will be used in the removal process. You should never attempt to carry out the cryotherapy procedure at home as the side effects may be more severe.

Cryotherapy skin tag removal process is a process that involves the application of liquid nitrogen on the skin tag through the use of a spray gun. The liquid nitrogen will be freezing cold and may be quite uncomfortable for a few minutes after application.
The skin tag will change from its normal color for at least two minutes and then get back to normal temperature. If the size of the skin tag is too large, there will be a need to repeat the process severally after thawing out.
A few days after a cryotherapy treatment, there will be a formation of a scab on the skin tag which will later fall off before the end of 14 days. This duration may be prolonged if the skin tag is on the leg.
It is not guaranteed that the first cryotherapy treatment will be successful.  More than one session may be required depending on how the skin tag is responding to the treatment.
A cryotherapy treatment is not intrusive and one will be able to carry on with his usual activity soon after the process is completed. There will be a need to apply an ointment to protect the treated area from getting too dry. If water gets on the skin tag that is being treated, a dry towel should be used to dry off the area.
Picking on the skin tag should be avoided as this may lead to scarring after it is completely removed. If it is located in a place where there is frequent friction, there will be a need to cover it with a plaster.
A cryotherapy treatment should only be carried out in a professional spa where high-quality products will be used. You should ensure that the aesthetician who is carrying out the skin tag removal process is well experienced and qualified as well to offer such services. If you are not sure, look for reviews from people who have had a cryotherapy skin tag removal from that spa so that you can gauge the quality of the services offered.

The removal of a skin tag through a surgical process is very safe and most of the people will not suffer from any side effects. The surgical procedure is not intrusive and most of the time, it will be free from any complication and the healing will take a maximum of 5 days.
To some people, however, there are complications that may occur after the procedure is over some of which include the following:

• Scarring: this will come into being if the procedure was carried out without observing proper care.
• Removal of real skin tissues: If you go to an inexperienced doctor or aesthetician for the skin tag removal, he may cut off real tissues in the process of removing the skin tag.
• Rashes and irritation: After the surgical procedure, there may be irritation or rashes on the treated skin. The doctor will issue an antibiotic cream to help in preventing any infection from developing as a result of the irritation or the rash.
• If there was a nerve that had grown into the skin tag, it may end up being cut off in the process of removing the skin tag. This may cause a lot of pain which will require the use of pain relieving tablets.

If the skin tag on your body is getting bothersome especially for those that are located in a visible part of the skin, it is advisable to look for a professional aesthetician to carry out the process. This will reduce the risk of suffering from some of the above complications and make the procedure safer.

 Cauterization is an effective method of removing skin tags that will only take a few minutes. I have noted down some advantages and disadvantages of this process to help you in making an informed choice whenever you want to get rid of skin tags:
Pros

• It is fast: The process of cauterization will take a maximum of 20 minutes which is a short duration compared to the other methods of removal. You will be able to have the process done in a professional spa and then proceed with your normal daily activities.
• It is less expensive: compared to the price that one will have to pay for other methods such as laser therapy or other surgical procedures, this procedure will not cost much. This makes it possible for more people to afford it, especially where there are only a few skin tags to remove.
• There is a guarantee that one session will completely get rid of the skin tag unlike other methods like the laser therapy that may take more than one session.

Cons

• It is quite invasive: This method of skin tag removal will involve the use of needles that have been electrically heated.
• It is a painful process: though the process will only take 20 minutes to remove the skin tag, the healing process will take longer and there will be a lot of pain before the wound is completely healed.
• A scar may develop on the part of the skin that had the skin tag which may be more difficult to get rid of and one will have to make a choice between learning to live with it and incurring extra cost to get rid of it.
• The process of cauterization in the removal of skin tags will be very expensive if there are many skin tags that will be removed. It will also take a longer time to get rid of the skin tags as the aesthetician will work on one skin tag at a time.
