SKIN TAG REMOVAL
Skin tags are soft, benign growths of skin that protrude slightly from the surface, often appearing on the neck, armpits, upper body, and even the eyelids.
Though typically small and painless, skin tags can be a nuisance, especially if they catch on jewelry or rub against clothing, causing irritation or discomfort. Both men and women may seek removal for aesthetic reasons or to avoid these minor inconveniences.
While skin tags are harmless and usually don’t require medical treatment, removal can be an effective way to reduce discomfort and improve appearance.
Skin Tags – How To Remove Them?
There are three main methods used to remove skin tags: freezing (cryotherapy), burning (cauterization), or excision (cutting them off).
Each technique is minimally invasive and relatively quick, often performed in a single appointment. The choice of method depends on factors like the size and location of the skin tag and your skin type, all of which will be assessed during an initial consultation. During this examination, a possible biopsy may be taken to rule out other skin conditions. To ensure a pain-free experience, a local anesthetic will be applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
Aside from discussing removal options, a consultation will provide information on aftercare, as treated areas may need special care to heal properly. We will also review tips for minimizing friction in sensitive areas, as skin tags can sometimes recur in spots prone to rubbing.
