Acrochordons, commonly known as "skin teats", are small, benign skin growths that often appear on the face, eyelids, neck, armpits, and other areas of friction. They are usually flesh-colored or slightly darker than the natural skin tone, and are attached to the skin by a small pedicle. Although not painful and generally harmless, acrochordons can be a source of aesthetic embarrassment for many people.

Acrochordons can develop in anyone, but are more common in adults and the elderly. They are also associated with conditions such as obesity and in some cases diabetes, and can be influenced by hereditary factors. Constant rubbing of the skin can also encourage their appearance.

At Clinique Main D'Or, we offer two treatments to safely and effectively remove acrochordons:
Cryotherapy: This method uses extreme cold to freeze and destroy acrochordons. It's fast, effective and requires little post-treatment care.
electrocoagulation: this technique uses electric current to burn the base of the acrochordon, cutting off its blood supply and causing it to fall off.
By choosing to treat your acrochordons at Clinique Main D'Or, you'll benefit not only from the elimination of unsightly lesions, but also from smoother skin and improved personal comfort. Our treatments are performed by experienced professionals, ensuring superior aesthetic results with minimum risk and recovery time.

An acrochordon on the face requires treatment to remove it when it becomes embarrassing, painful or when it affects aesthetic appearance. As a general rule, an acrochordon on the face is benign and poses no health hazard. However, it can be removed for cosmetic reasons, especially if its size or position is unsightly. To determine whether an acrochordon should be removed, it's important to consult a medical professional, who can examine the acrochordon and make sure it's not related to another condition, such as a mole or melanoma. A doctor will also advise you on the most appropriate method for safely removing the acrochordon.
At Clinique Main d'Or, treatment of acrochordons begins with a detailed consultation with our experts to assess the size, location and type of growth. Depending on the characteristics of theacrochordon, we offer different methods toremove it safely and effectively. Options include cryotherapy and electrocoagulation. In some cases, a referral will be made for evaluation or surgical excision by a dermatologist. In this way, we ensure a treatment tailored to each situation to guarantee a safe and optimal aesthetic result.
The best method for removing a facial acrochordon depends on the size and location of the growth, as well as the patient's preferences. At Clinique Main d'Or, we prefer precise, minimally invasive techniques to treat acrochordons on the face, such as cryotherapy and electrocoagulation. These methods destroy the acrochordon without leaving visible scars, which is essential for preserving facial aesthetics. Surgical excision can also be considered for larger acrochordons, but requires a more careful approach to minimize scarring. Our team will guide you towards the method best suited to your skin.
In the emergence of non-surgical aesthetic care, the Main d'Or clinic was founded by Mirna Saadé - a nurse clinician, with a mission to offer injectable aesthetic care and skin care where safety and efficacy are the priorities.
