Dr. Beal is truly doing the Lords work 🙌🏻. I originally went to see him for facial mole removal but also brought up my rosacea, and he completely got it under control. I had a couple of facial moles removed with laser treatment, and the whole experience was fantastic — he explained all the aftercare clearly, and I had no scarring at all. He always takes the time to ask if you have any other concerns and really listens, which makes such a difference. The staff are all so lovely and friendly too. My only “complaint” is that I wish he wasn’t an hour away, which ideally saves me from spending too much money. But Definitely worth the drive though!!!

Excellent! Quick appointments, no waiting for months, on time for appointments too! Solved some trouble I had been seeing another place for in St Louis for 18 months with no progress - St Louis Dermatology solved in 3 months. Very pleased with them, kind & courteous. Recommend to anyone in the Troy Mo area.

What are Skin Tags?
Skin tags are common, non-cancerous growths that often appear as people age. They are connected to the skin by a stalk and are commonly found in the underarms, around the neck, eyelids, under the breasts, groin, and thighs.
Although they are not dangerous and do not require removal, they can be unsightly and irritating.
How are Skin Tags Diagnosed?
An exam by a dermatologist is frequently all that is needed.
What are the Treatment Options for Skin Tags?
Minor surgical removal
Electrosurgery
Freezing with liquid nitrogen
What Can You Expect?
Before any procedure, you will have a consultation with our expert cosmetic dermatologists. The physician will listen to you, perform a thorough evaluation, and provide an individualized treatment plan to address your needs and concerns.
Any unsightly or irritating skin tag can be removed with almost no downtime. Most patients can resume normal activities the next day. Because skin tags are benign (non-cancerous) growths, insurance companies often do not cover their removal. Often, there is an out-of-pocket cost for the removal of skin tags that is not covered by insurance.
Is the Treatment of Skin Tags Safe?
All procedures carry some risk. However, complications from skin tag treatment procedures are uncommon when performed by board-certified cosmetic dermatologists.
