Most patients wait 24 hours before applying makeup to avoid irritation on freshly-treated skin.

Most clinics charge a flat fee per visit that covers one or several small growths, commonly $100 to $300, with larger or multiple moles running higher, up to around $600. Removal for cosmetic reasons is not covered by insurance; removal of a growth that is irritated, bleeding, or suspicious sometimes is, through a dermatologist. Ask whether the price is per growth or per visit, since it changes the math if you have a dozen tags.

It depends on the growth. Skin tags are usually snipped or cauterized in seconds. Milia are opened with a fine needle and expressed. Cherry angiomas and small vessels are treated with a laser or cautery. Seborrheic keratoses are frozen with liquid nitrogen or shaved. Raised benign moles are shaved flat; flat moles that need removal are excised. The match between method and lesion is what determines the scar, which is why a clinic offering only one method is a clinic to question.

For skin tags, milia, and cherry angiomas, generally not; they are recognizable and harmless. For anything called a mole, yes, or a clinic with a provider trained to assess it. Any pigmented growth that is new, changing, asymmetric, multi-colored, larger than a pencil eraser, or bleeding must be evaluated before removal, and a suspicious mole should be biopsied, not cosmetically shaved. A clinic that removes moles without looking at them properly is the one to avoid.

Skin tags and milia leave essentially nothing. Cautery and laser leave a small pink spot that fades over weeks. Shaved moles leave a flat, slightly lighter mark that usually blends within months. Excised moles leave a fine line scar. Darker skin tones can develop a dark or light mark at the site, which is why method and aftercare matter more on deeper skin; ask to see healed results on skin like yours.

A removed skin tag or milium does not return, though new ones can form elsewhere for the same reasons the first did. Cherry angiomas and keratoses treated fully do not recur; incompletely treated ones can. A shaved mole can partially regrow because pigment cells remain below the shave, and it may need a second visit; an excised mole does not return.
