Skin Tag Removal
Skin tag removal is a quick, clinician-led treatment designed to safely remove small, harmless growths that can become uncomfortable, catch on clothing or affect confidence.
Skin tags are made up of loose collagen fibres and small blood vessels surrounded by skin. Collagen is a natural protein found throughout the body. Skin tags are usually soft, skin-coloured growths and can vary in size from just a few millimetres up to around 5cm.
They are most commonly found on the neck, under the arms, around the groin, under the breasts, on the eyelids and within skin folds, including under the buttocks.
Skin tags can sometimes be mistaken for warts, but they are usually smooth and soft, tend to hang off the skin rather than sit flat, and are not contagious. Although harmless, they can grow larger over time if left untreated.
How Does It Work
We use thermolysis, a precise cauterisation technique, to remove the skin tag at its base. The treatment targets only the tag itself, allowing it to be removed immediately while minimising impact on the surrounding skin.
In some cases, you may be asked to provide a GP letter confirming the area has been checked and is benign, as certain skin-coloured moles can look similar to skin tags.
What to Expect
Your practitioner will examine the area to confirm suitability and explain the procedure before treatment begins.
The area is cleansed and the skin tag is removed using a fine, controlled probe. The procedure is quick and is suitable for delicate areas, including close to the eyes and between eyelashes. Aftercare advice is provided before you leave the clinic.
