What we treat

We focus on benign skin tags — small, soft, pedunculated growths that commonly appear on the neck, underarms, eyelids and body folds. If your lesion looks atypical or suspicious, we’ll advise appropriate medical referral rather than removal in clinic.

  • Common skin tags (acrochordons)
  • Cosmetic catch-points (necklines, bra straps, collars)
  • Multiple tags in the same region (where clinically appropriate)

We do not remove moles or lesions of uncertain diagnosis within this service; medical assessment takes priority.

What to expect

Consultation & consent

We confirm the lesion is a benign skin tag, discuss method, risks and aftercare, and take consent. Photos can be taken with your permission.

Removal

Removal usually takes minutes. Mild warmth or a brief sting is possible. We use sterile technique throughout.

Aftercare

You’ll leave with simple written care: keep clean and dry, avoid friction, and use SPF once healed if exposed.

Aftercare & healing

  • Keep area clean and dry for 24 hours; avoid swimming/saunas for 48 hours.
  • Do not pick crusts; allow natural shedding.
  • If exposed, apply SPF 30–50 after re-epithelialisation to reduce marking.
  • Contact us if you notice increasing redness, pain or discharge.

FAQs

How long does it take?

Most single tags are removed in minutes; your visit length depends on number and site.

Can tags come back?

The same tag does not regrow once removed, but you may develop new tags in similar areas over time.

Will I need stitches?

No — these techniques do not require sutures. A small crust forms and sheds naturally.

Do you treat eyelid tags?

Small eyelid margin tags may be suitable; extra care is taken near the eye. Final suitability is confirmed in consultation.
