What causes skin tags? Are they covered by insurance to have surgically removed?
Skin tags first may appear as a tiny soft bump on the skin. Over time, it grows into a flesh-colored piece of skin attached to the skin surface by a stalk. Located on various parts of the body, skin tags are generally non- cancerous. Skin tags typically appear during the aging process. They are more common in women, especially after pregnancy. With a tendency to run in families, there is no way to prevent them. Doctors can remove skin tags easily; however, it is considered a cosmetic concern so most health insurance plans will not cover the removal of skin tags. I would like to know if laser hair removal is permanent or is it something you will have to do for the rest of your life. There is NO hair removal method (including Laser) which can guarantee anybody “permanent hair removal”. Due to hormonal stimulation it is possible after 2-3 years that there may be some hair regrowth in the treated area. After 4 to 6 treatments the total amount of hair is greatly reduced-generally by 70%-90%
