Laser Skin Tag, Wart & Mole Removal Singapore | Frances Medical & Aesthetic Clinic

What is it?

Examination first, removal second.

Every lesion is different, so treatment always begins with Dr Gerald Tan examining the skin tag, wart or mole in question. This examination determines whether the lesion is suitable for straightforward laser removal — if anything about its appearance is atypical, it is referred for further investigation rather than removed in the same visit. This assessment step is a safety measure, not a formality.

Where a lesion is assessed as suitable, laser ablation is used to remove benign skin tags, warts or moles in a quick in-clinic procedure, with minor scabbing as the area heals.

How it works

Assessed first, then treated only if appropriate.

Dr Gerald Tan first examines each lesion individually, checking its appearance, history and characteristics. Suitability for straightforward removal is assessed at this stage — this is an important safety step, and anything atypical is referred for further investigation rather than removed. Where laser removal is appropriate, the lesion is ablated precisely using laser energy, in a quick in-clinic procedure performed under local numbing where needed.

What it treats

What to expect

A brief procedure, then straightforward healing.

Day 1–2

The treated area may look slightly pink with minor scabbing beginning to form.

Week 1

Scabbing typically continues to heal over about a week; keeping the area clean and protected is generally advised.

Week 2 onwards

Most patients see the area settle and heal fully, though healing time can vary by lesion type and location.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions.

Is it safe?

Every lesion is examined by Dr Gerald Tan before any removal. This assessment checks whether the lesion is suitable for straightforward laser removal — anything atypical is referred for further investigation rather than treated in the same visit.

Does it hurt?

Most patients tolerate the procedure well, with local numbing available for comfort. You may feel a brief warm or pinching sensation during treatment.

What's the downtime?

Downtime is generally minor. Expect some scabbing at the treated site, typically healing over about a week.

When will I see results?

The lesion is typically removed in the same session where assessed as suitable, with the area fully healing over the following one to two weeks. Individual healing varies.

How many sessions will I need?

Most lesions assessed as suitable are removed in a single session. Dr Tan will confirm this, and any follow-up needed, after examining the lesion.
