Skin Tag, Red Vein & Blemish Treatments in Benowa, Gold Coast
Small skin tags, visible red veins and other benign skin concerns can be frustrating, especially when they catch on clothing or draw attention. At e-sab Skin and Body Clinic, we offer cryotherapy and advanced diathermy for suitable concerns. We’ll assess the area first and explain which treatment, if any, is appropriate.
Which treatment may suit your concern?
Cryotherapy uses liquid nitrogen to freeze a suitable skin growth. It may be considered for concerns such as skin tags, warts and seborrhoeic keratoses.
​
Advanced diathermy uses a fine electrical current to treat suitable small visible red veins and skin tags.
​
The right approach depends on what the concern is, where it is located and your skin. If you’re unsure what to book, contact us before making an appointment.
Cryotherapy in Benowa
Cryotherapy applies liquid nitrogen to a suitable area of skin. The treated area may become red or tender and can blister or form a scab as it heals. Some concerns need more than one treatment.
​
We offer cryotherapy for suitable benign skin growths, including some skin tags, warts and seborrhoeic keratoses. Suitability is assessed before treatment.
​
Cryotherapy: from $75
Advanced diathermy for red veins and skin tags
Advanced diathermy is a targeted treatment that may be suitable for small visible red veins and some skin tags. During your appointment, we’ll examine the area, discuss the likely response and explain aftercare before proceeding.
​
The number of treatments and the result can vary with the concern being treated. Temporary redness or a small crust may occur.
​
Advanced diathermy: from $75

Frequently asked questions
Can you remove a skin tag on the first visit?
That depends on the assessment, the location and the appointment booked. If treatment is suitable, we’ll explain whether it can be done at that visit.
Will one treatment be enough?
Sometimes, but not always. The response varies by concern and treatment. We’ll discuss what is realistic for your situation.
Will the treatment leave a mark?
Redness, crusting or a temporary change in skin colour can occur. Scarring is also possible. We’ll discuss the risks for your skin and the area being treated before treatment.
Do you treat all red veins?
No. Diathermy is suited to selected small visible veins. Larger veins or other vascular concerns may need a different assessment or treatment.
