Procedure Name	Microcrystal Dermabrasion	Cryotherapy	Electrosurgery	Fractional Laser	Excision with Suturing
Reference Image
Procedure Overview	Mechanical friction or photothermal action to remove superficial skin protrusions	Uses low temperature from liquid nitrogen applied locally to cause skin tags to gradually necrotize and fall off	Applies electric current to skin tag tissue, generating thermal or chemical effects to destroy the skin tag	Uses laser energy to fragment pigmented tissue and expel it from the body	Surgically removes diseased tissue around the mole
Advantages	1. Non-invasive and painless 2. Faster recovery	1. Simple procedure 2. Low risk of infection	1. Relatively simple to perform	1. Leaves no scar	1. Thorough treatment 2. Scar-free
Disadvantages	1. Pigmentation 2. Incomplete removal	1. Ineffective for large or thick moles 2. Noticeable scarring	1. Prone to scarring 2. Causes discomfort or pain	1. Limited applicability 2. High recurrence rate	1. Technically challenging surgery 2. Long recovery time
Indications	Small skin tags	Small skin tags	Skin tags with diameter of 3–5 mm	Benign skin tags smaller than 3 mm in diameter	Skin tags larger than 3 mm in diameter or those with potential for malignancy
Reference Price	200–500 RMB per mole	200–1000 RMB per mole	200–500 RMB per mole	50–200 RMB per mole	500–1000 RMB per mole
Recovery Time	15–30 days	3–6 months	5–15 days	1–3 months	3–6 months
