Mole & Skin Tag Removal in Melbourne
While skin tags are common and harmless, they can become uncomfortable, catch on clothing or jewellery, and affect confidence.
Elucell Clinic in Richmond, Melbourne offers doctor-led professional treatment for skin tags and other minor skin lesions. This allows for a precise, and minimally invasive procedure, using radiofrequency.
Treatment is carefully tailored to the individual, with a focus on skin integrity and optimal cosmetic outcomes.
All procedures are performed by qualified medical practitioners in a medical setting, ensuring a high standard of clinical care. In most cases, treatment requires a single appointment with minimal downtime. Typically you may return to normal activities soon after.
Benefits of skin tag removal
Skin tags can be uncomfortable and make tasks like undressing difficult, so removal can help relieve irritation. They can also get inflamed and infected.
Having them assessed by a medical professional ensures they can be checked for type of mole or lesion to rule out any potentially serious case.
For those who may be considering DIY removal, a professional examination helps prevent risks that can come with this, such as scarring, infection or injuries.
Skin tags can be removed within a short time frame, and typically, once the procedure is carried out, that same skin tag won’t return.
How does skin tag removal work?
At Elucell, we use Ellman Radiofrequency treatment for skin tag removal.
Radiofrequency skin tag removal is highly precise because it uses controlled, targeted energy to gently vaporise the lesion layer by layer, allowing the practitioner to treat only the intended tissue while preserving the surrounding skin. Unlike cryotherapy, which can be less predictable in depth and may affect adjacent tissue, or traditional surgical removal that involves cutting, radiofrequency offers a more refined approach with minimal collateral damage.
Compared to some laser treatments, it provides excellent control over depth and heat delivery, making it particularly effective for small, delicate areas.
This precision supports a smoother healing process, reduced inflammation, and typically a lower risk of noticeable scarring when performed correctly.
At Elucell, our doctors assess your skin tags under a dermatoscope to rule out any suspicious features before treatment.
Mole and Skin Tag Removal Pricing starts with 30-minute consultation.

What you can expect
Treatment Summary
Procedure time
Following a 30-min consultation, the treatment time per lesion is under 1 minute once the skin tag is numbed. For patients with multiple lesions, treatment time may vary, and your practitioner will provide a personalised estimate during your consultation. In many cases, consultation and treatment can be performed on the same day, depending on suitability and clinical assessment.
Recovery time
Downtime is minimal, with most individuals able to resume normal activities soon after, although complete healing and skin recovery can take several days to a few weeks depending on the size, depth, and location of the lesion. It is recommended to avoid swimming or saunas for the first week post removal.
Prices
The skin tag removal can vary depending on your individual facial anatomy, aesthetic goals, and the number of threads required to achieve optimal results. During your consultation, you will receive a customised treatment plan and an exact quote tailored to your needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to prepare for skin tag removal?
Minimal preparation is typically required. We recommend keeping the area clean and free from makeup (if applicable), fake tan, or active skincare products on the day of treatment. Your practitioner will provide individual guidance during your consultation based on the lesion and treatment area.
How long do results last?
Once a skin tag or benign lesion is successfully removed, it does not typically return. However, new lesions may develop over time depending on individual skin factors and predisposition.
How soon will I see results?
The lesion is treated immediately, but a small scab will form and naturally shed over the following 1–7 days. The final cosmetic result continues to improve as the skin heals over the next few weeks.
Who isn’t suitable for this procedure?
This treatment may not be suitable for individuals with active skin infections, inflammation, or compromised skin integrity in the treatment area. Caution is also advised in those prone to poor wound healing or abnormal scarring. As a precaution, this procedure is generally not performed during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. All lesions are clinically assessed prior to treatment to ensure suitability, and any suspicious lesions may require further evaluation.
