How does it work?
Depending on the size and location of the skin tag, your practitioner will choose the best method for removal. This typically involves either freezing the tag off using liquid nitrogen (cryotherapy), using a tiny heated probe to burn it off at the stalk (cautery), or carefully snipping it away with sterile surgical scissors.
Before the treatment
There is minimal preparation required. Please arrive with the treatment area clean and free of heavy lotions or makeup. If you take blood-thinning medications, inform your practitioner during the consultation, as this may slightly increase the chance of pinpoint bleeding.
During the treatment
The practitioner will thoroughly cleanse and sterilize the area. Depending on the chosen removal method and the size of the tag, a topical numbing cream or a tiny local anesthetic injection may be administered. The removal process itself is extremely quick, often taking just a few seconds to a couple of minutes per tag.
What results can I expect to see and how many do I need?
The results are immediate—the skin tag is gone! A small scab will form where the tag used to be, which will naturally fall off over the next several days to reveal smooth, healed skin underneath. Only one session is typically needed per skin tag.
Treatment overview
PROCEDURE TIME: 15 to 30 minutes, depending on how many tags are being removed.
DOWNTIME: None. You can resume your normal routine immediately. A small, temporary scab will be present for 5 to 10 days.
DURATION OF RESULTS: Permanent. Once a skin tag is removed, it does not grow back, though new ones may form elsewhere over time.
Frequently Asked Questions About Skin Tag Removal
What are skin tags?
Skin tags are small, soft, benign (non-cancerous) growths that hang off the skin by a connecting stalk. They commonly appear in areas where the skin folds or rubs against itself or clothing, such as the neck, armpits, eyelids, and groin.
Are skin tags dangerous?
No, skin tags are completely harmless. They are not contagious and do not pose any medical threat. Most people choose to remove them strictly for cosmetic reasons or because they catch on jewelry or clothing and become irritated.
Is the removal process painful?
The procedure is virtually painless. For very small tags, the discomfort is often compared to a quick pinprick. For larger tags, we use a topical numbing cream or local anesthetic to ensure you feel absolutely no pain during the removal.
Will the treatment leave a scar?
Our practitioners use meticulous techniques to minimize any risk of scarring. Once the small scab falls off, you may notice a slight pink or lighter patch of skin, which typically fades and blends in completely with your normal skin tone over a few weeks or months.
Can I just remove a skin tag myself at home?
We strongly advise against “DIY” home removals (like tying them off with string or cutting them with scissors). Removing skin tags at home carries a high risk of severe bleeding, scarring, and dangerous skin infections. It is always safest to have them removed by a clinical professional in a sterile environment.
Will the skin tag grow back after it’s removed?
No, the specific skin tag that has been removed will not grow back. However, if you are genetically prone to developing skin tags, new ones may form in the same area or elsewhere on your body in the future.
How do I care for the area after the treatment?
Keep the area clean and dry. Wash it gently with mild soap and water, and gently pat it dry. Do not pick, scratch, or pull at the scab that forms, as this can cause scarring. You can apply a thin layer of antibacterial ointment if advised by your practitioner, and be sure to protect the fresh skin with SPF once the scab falls off.
