Skin tag removal is a common cosmetic procedure offered at aesthetic clinics, designed to remove small growths of skin that protrude from the body. These benign skin tags are made up of blood vessels and collagen and can often be found on areas of the body where skin folds or rubs against itself, such as the neck or arms.While skin tags are typically harmless, they can be a source of discomfort or embarrassment for some individuals, mainly when they occur in visible or awkward locations.

Skin tags are small, harmless growths that typically develop on the neck, armpits, eyelids, and other parts of the body where skin creases or folds. Although skin tags are usually harmless, they can be unsightly and occasionally cause discomfort or irritation when they rub against clothing or jewellery.
Various methods for removing skin tags include cryotherapy, surgical excision, and electrocautery. In cryotherapy, the skin tags are frozen with liquid nitrogen and removed. Surgical excision involves cutting the skin tag with a scalpel or scissors, and electrocautery uses a heated wire or needle to burn the skin tag off.
In some cases, laser surgery may also remove skin tags. Carbon dioxide lasers are typically used for this procedure. The laser cuts off the skin tag while under the effects of local anesthesia. The laser cauterize the blood vessels as it cuts, so there is usually minimal bleeding or scarring.
Skin tags are harmless, but that doesn’t mean you have to live with them. Whether they are getting caught on clothing or simply bothering you aesthetically, skin tag removal can be a quick and simple fix with long-term comfort. Here’s why it’s worth considering:

Skin tag removal is generally not painful. Most report minimal discomfort during and after the procedure. Local anaesthesia is sometimes used for larger skin tags or when particularly sensitive.
Skin tags that have been removed do not grow back. However, new skin tags can develop in other areas of the body over time. Patients prone to developing skin tags can discuss preventive measures with their doctor.
The risks and complications associated with skin tag removal are minimal, and the procedure is considered safe. The most common side effects are minor bleeding, skin discoloration, and temporary redness or itching. In rare cases, infection or scarring may occur.
In most cases, there is little to no scarring, especially when removed by professionals using the right technique. We aim for clean, precise removal to ensure the best cosmetic results.
We don’t recommend it. DIY removal can lead to bleeding, infection, and scarring. Professional removal ensures it’s done safely and cleanly.
