Skin Tag Removal

Overview: Skin tag removal offers a quick, safe, and effective way to remove unwanted skin tags using radiofrequency or laser technology. Under dermatologist supervision, this treatment eliminates benign skin tags with minimal discomfort and scarring, leaving smooth, even skin. The procedure is quick, typically taking just minutes per tag, making it convenient for removing multiple tags in a single session.

How the Treatment Works: The treatment uses radiofrequency or laser energy to precisely target and remove skin tags. Radiofrequency uses controlled electrical energy to heat and remove the tag, while laser uses focused light energy to vaporise it. Both methods are precise, minimising damage to surrounding skin. Your dermatologist selects the most appropriate method based on the tag's size, location, and characteristics. Local anaesthesia may be used for larger tags or sensitive areas to ensure comfort.

Who Is This Treatment For: Skin tag removal is ideal for individuals with unwanted skin tags that are cosmetically concerning, causing irritation from clothing or friction, or those recommended for removal. It is suitable for tags of various sizes and locations. The treatment works well for removing multiple tags in a single session. Best candidates have realistic expectations about the healing process and minimal scarring.

Benefits:

• Quick, efficient removal procedure
• Minimal discomfort and scarring
• Safe for various tag sizes and locations
• Multiple tags can be removed in one session
• Dermatologist-performed for precision and safety

Procedure & Sessions: The treatment begins with evaluation of the skin tags. Local anaesthesia may be applied for comfort, especially for larger tags. The selected removal method—radiofrequency or laser—is applied to each tag. The procedure typically takes 15-30 minutes depending on the number of tags. Most tags are removed in a single session, though very large or numerous tags may require follow-up sessions.

Downtime & Safety: Minimal downtime is expected. You may experience slight redness, mild swelling, or a small scab at removal sites for 3-5 days. The treated areas heal quickly with minimal scarring when proper aftercare is followed. All procedures are performed under strict dermatologist supervision using sterile techniques. Proper wound care is essential to ensure optimal healing and prevent infection.

Results & Aftercare: Skin tags are removed immediately, with healing occurring over 5-7 days. Final appearance develops over 1-2 weeks as the area fully heals. Your dermatologist will provide detailed aftercare instructions including wound care, keeping areas clean and dry, and recommended products. Sun protection is recommended during healing to prevent pigmentation changes. Results are immediate with smooth, even skin after healing.
