What Are Warts and Skin Tags?
- Warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can spread through skin contact or surfaces. They often appear on hands, feet, or knees and can be rough, raised, or flat.
- Skin tags are benign, flesh-colored growths that often develop in high-friction areas like the neck, armpits, eyelids, and groin. They are not contagious and are typically removed for cosmetic reasons.
Why Choose Spectrum Skin Clinic for Removal?
- Medical Oversight: All removals are performed or directly supervised by Dr. Sabeen Munib.
- Cosmetic Precision: Treatments are scar-conscious and tailored for darker skin tones and sensitive areas.
- Advanced Technology: We use fractional CO2 laser, radiofrequency ablation, and the Nordlys Nd:YAG and IPL systems.
- Minimal Downtime: Most patients resume daily activities immediately.
What Methods Do You Use?
Treatment is selected based on the type, size, and location of the lesion:
- Radiofrequency (RF) Ablation – Ideal for skin tags and superficial warts in delicate or visible areas. Minimal scarring and fast healing.
- CO2 Laser – Used for precise vaporization of raised or stubborn lesions, including skin tags and deeper warts.
- Nordlys Nd:YAG Laser (1064 nm) – Targets vascular supply to warts by coagulating blood vessels, leading to gradual wart destruction.
- Nordlys IPL SWT® – Used for pigmented and vascular skin tags, especially in sensitive facial or neck areas. Also effective for minimizing bleeding and sealing vessels.
- Shave Excision – Used for skin tag removal when appropriate, particularly on raised lesions or in curved skin folds.
Wart vs Skin Tag: How Are They Different?
| Feature | Warts | Skin Tags |
|---|---|---|
| Cause | Viral (HPV-related) | Friction or skin folds |
| Contagious | Yes | No |
| Appearance | Rough, raised, cauliflower-like | Smooth, soft, flesh-colored |
| Common Locations | Hands, feet, knees | Neck, underarms, eyelids |
| Removal Method | Laser (Nd:YAG), CO2, RF | RF, CO2, Nordlys IPL, shave |
What to Expect During Treatment
Most removals take less than 15–30 minutes. A topical anesthetic may be applied to enhance comfort, especially for laser-based wart removal. The lesion is then treated using the appropriate method based on depth, location, and skin type. For warts treated with laser, a crust typically forms and resolves in 1–2 weeks.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Mild redness, pinpoint crusting, or superficial peeling may occur and typically resolves in 3–10 days.
- Avoid direct sun exposure and adhere to post-care for optimal healing.
- Results are permanent for treated lesions, though new growths may occur over time.
Who Should Not Be Treated?
We do not treat:
- Suspected skin cancers or pigmented lesions without prior dermoscopic clearance
- Genital or mucosal warts
- Patients with active skin infections in the treatment area

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Sabeen Munib at Spectrum Skin Clinic in Irvine. I visited her for acne scar treatment and underwent three subcision sessions spaced six weeks apart. Throughout my treatment, I was consistently impressed by her expertise, attention to detail, and compassionate approach. Dr. Munib took the time to carefully evaluate my scars, explain the procedure, and answer all of my questions before starting. During each procedure, she made sure I was comfortable and informed every step of the way. Her technique, skill and experience with acne scar subcision gave me complete confidence that I was in capable hands. The entire team at Spectrum Skin Clinic was professional, friendly, and supportive throughout the process. Although acne scar improvement takes time and healing, I appreciate that Dr. Munib focuses on achieving the best possible long-term results rather than making unrealistic promises. She explained what to expect during recovery and emphasized that collagen remodeling happens gradually. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and caring physician for acne scar treatment or subcision, I highly recommend Dr. Sabeen Munib Spectrum Skin Clinic, Irvine. I truly appreciate the care, professionalism, and dedication I received and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking advanced scar treatment.
