They are also hereditary.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eliminar-acrocordones-con-tratamiento-Laser-Erbium\"><\/span>Remove skin tags with Erbium Laser treatment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The laser used in our medical centers produces microperforation fractions keeping the skin around these perforations intact. This allows the skin that receives these perforations to regenerate (heal) from the outside to the inside, improving the skin more quickly, and with less risk of deep injury. It enters the skin generating an increase in temperature and, consequently, the production of collagen is stimulated.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In one session many injuries can be
