Skin tags are very common fibrous growths and look different to moles in that they have a stem a bit like a mushroom.

This procedure cauterizes the tags, cutting off their blood supply and allowing it to fall away harmlessly and quickly

Thread veins are dilated capillaries that can appear on the body and face, often around the nose or cheeks and can run in families. Other possible causes can include the capillaries weakening due to ageing, sun/wind damage, pregnancy, acne, rosacea, smoking and extremes of temperature. Thread veins are more obvious after mid-life, when the skin becomes thinner and loses some of its collagen.

The procedure cauterizes the dilated capillary. This results in the capillary drying up and disappearing instantly, after which a new capillary forms deeper in the skin.
