What is Electrodesiccation?
Electrodesiccation (ED) is a nonsurgical procedure at SkinLaB in Cranberry Township, PA that removes benign skin growths on the face and body. A precise electric tip is used to gently remove unwanted growths such as seborrheic keratoses, skin tags, sebaceous gland hyperplasia (enlarged oil glands), and milia.
How Does Electrodesiccation Work?
Before starting the treatment, a topical numbing cream can be applied for increased comfort. After a brief wait while the numbing takes effect, we will then clean the skin and use the ED tip to gently remove the skin growths. The procedure takes about 10-20 minutes to perform depending on how many growths you have. You may have small red areas or scabs for 5-7 days which we encourage you to keep moist with petroleum jelly. The areas will heal without any residual marks or scars on the skin.
Price varies depending on the number of lesions being treated ($150 - $550 per session). Anywhere from 1-3 sessions may be required. Some patients require maintenance treatments every 6-12 months.

SkinLaB by Dr. LaBrasca Reviews
I am a grateful previous client of Mistica, and am thrilled to continue on as such! (Welcome to Cranberry!) Mistica is open, honest and knowledgeable, earning my trust on the first visit. She addresses you as an individual and makes recommendations that flatter and compliment, not distract. Making a better YOU! She is truly a gift. I look forward to my next visit and I promise, you will too!
It’s beyond beautiful and clean inside and you cannot beat professionalism, knowledge, skill and results here. Highly recommend. Mistica couldn’t be more kind and works with you to make sure you’re happy and getting what you want and advises perfectly with experience so you get the result you want and look your best.
Mistica is a true artist! My results are always subtle, and just enough for people to notice that I look refreshed, and a bit more youthful.
I visited the SkinLaB for my first time on Tuesday. I knew in advance that my visit would be great because I put my trust in Mistica years ago. I was blown away at the esthetics of the space. Really beautiful!! Upon entering the space, I was greeted by a very professional receptionist. Kudos to All at Skin Lab
If you’re anything like me, you can find the whole skin care industry a little intimidating. I try to use all of the right serums, lotions, and oils, but nothing made me feel or look quite right. I felt like I was throwing money down the drain and looking worse for it. Nearing 40 and seeing wrinkles, I knew I was ready to start some treatments, but had no idea where to start and was so afraid I wouldn’t look like myself anymore. I made a consult with Mistica, and in 30 short minutes, she took all of my worries away. She completely redid (and simplified!) my skin care routine for less than what I was throwing away at Sephora, and gently eased me into filler and neurotoxins (completely at my request). She even told me I didn’t need things I thought I did. She was absolutely wonderful and comforting and I’m so glad that I went. The office is beautiful and the staff is friendly. Run to get an appointment, you won’t be sorry.
