Skin Tags Removal
Skin tags (also called acrochordons) are small, benign (non-cancerous) growths that typically appear on areas where skin rubs against skin or clothing, such as the neck, armpits, groin, eyelids, and under the breasts. While they are harmless, many people seek removal for cosmetic reasons or if the tags become irritated.
Discover how Skin Tags Removal Treatment can help you achieve smooth, clear skin free from unwanted growths.

How the Treatment Works
Step 1: Consultation & Examination
A trained specialist examines the skin tag to confirm it is benign (non-cancerous) and safe to remove. The best removal method is chosen based on its size, location, and your skin type.
Step 2: Skin Preparation
The treatment area is cleaned to prevent infection. A local anesthetic may be applied to numb the area, especially for larger skin tags or sensitive locations.
Step 3: Removal Procedure
The skin tag is removed using one of the following methods:
Cryotherapy: Freezing the tag with liquid nitrogen so it falls off after a few days.
Excision: Cutting the tag off with sterilized scissors or a scalpel.
Electrosurgery: Burning the tag off using a small electric current.
Ligation: Tying the tag with a surgical thread to cut off blood supply until it falls off.
Step 4: Post-Treatment Care
A soothing ointment or bandage may be applied. You'll receive instructions on how to keep the area clean and protected. Avoid picking or irritating the area while it heals.
Step 5: Healing & Results
The area typically heals within a few days to a week. A small scab may form and fall off naturally. Minimal to no scarring occurs when proper aftercare is followed.
