Removal of skin tags
Skin Tags, also known as fibroids, are small growths of skin that often occur on the neck, arms, eyelids, or other parts of the body. While they are usually harmless, they can be cosmetically disturbing or cause irritation. Here we will explore the process behind skin tag removal and how we can help you achieve smoother, more comfortable skin.
Before treatment
Before undergoing a skin tag removal treatment, there are some important steps you should follow:

During treatment
The process for removing skin tags can vary depending on the size, location and number of skin tags. Here's what to expect during treatment:
- The specialist will carefully clean the area around the skin tag.
- They will then use a specialized technique, such as electrocautery, laser treatment or scalpel removal, depending on what is best for your case.
- The treatment is usually painless or causes minimal discomfort.
After treatment
After skin tag removal, it is important to take good care of your skin to promote healing and avoid complications:
- Keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection.
