Brief Answer:
Electrocautery Or CO 2 Laser

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I have read your query and I have understood your concern.

The best way to remove warts/ skin tags is by a minor procedure, either by electrocautery ablation Or by CO 2 Laser vaporisation. It is simple, safe and effective. A dermatologist would do either of these, at his/her office.

Thanks for your response.

Does the laser suggested by you require a healing time?
Would it leave behind marks?

Also, kindly give me an idea regarding the cost of such treatment.

Thanks!

Brief Answer:
Healing time is a few days

Detailed Answer:
Hi.

Healing time is 5-7 days. The procedure would lead to scab formation which would subsequently fall off within a week.
No, the procedure would not leave any marks because the warts/tags are epidermal lesions (i.e superficial) and results are excellent.
Cost would vary from doctor to doctor and depending on the number of warts/tags. However, you can expect anywhere between 2k to 5k, if you have many lesions. You can of course ask for a discount if there are multiple lesions
