About this condition
They are small, harmless growths that hang off the skin and may sometimes be mistaken for warts. They are very common and can vary in both colour both and size. When appearing on the face they are often flatter than on other parts of the body.
Skin tags are usually caused by friction, either from the skin itself or from clothing or jewellery rubbing against the skin. They can also be hereditary or can form as a side effect of another medical condition, for example diabetes or obesity.
These benign growths will often cause irritation and annoyance and may continue to grow if they are not treated. They may cause practical as well as aesthetic issues, for example, if they occur on the face and are in a patient’s line of vision. Many people therefore decide to have skin tags removed.
Treatments we offer
Before any treatment we recommend booking an initial consultation with Debora so that she can assess your condition and offer a bespoke plan.
For skin tag removal, Debora will offer Advanced Electrolysis which will use electrolysis to remove skin tags. This is a simple, highly effective process during which a slender needle is used to cauterise the skin tag. The blemish disappears almost immediately and your skin will return to its normal appearance extremely quickly.
Our clients tell us that they experience nothing more than slight discomfort during this process. You’ll probably notice small scabs or some dry red marks following your treatment. These will be small in size and won’t persist for more than 7 to 10 days. You will be left with no scarring – and, of course, there will be no sign that the Skin Tags were ever there to begin with.
