What is a skin tag?
Skin tags are benign soft growths of tissue, varying in size and shape, that protrude off the skin (they’re not typically flat to the surface). They are usually skin coloured or slightly darker and made up of collagen fibres or blood vessels.
They form on their own or in groups, so if you have multiple to remove, it may require a few sessions with us.
Skin tags affect around 45% of the population so don’t feel embarrassed or alone if you have them!
What causes skin tags?
It’s not always known what causes skin tags, however, it has been suggested that hormonal changes, diabetes and genetics could be contributing factors. Recent studies also support the findings that they could develop from a form of the HPV virus.
The most common areas skin tags appear are where the skin creases and folds, causing friction. That’s why they’re often found on the neck, armpits, where the bra sits and also the face (eyes and eyelids especially).
Skin tag removal can sometimes leave a slight mark where it once was that will likely fade overtime but the skin tag itself doesn’t usually return to the same place.
How to remove skin tags?
Skin tags are all so different and so is people’s skin so there are multiple ways to remove them. They tend to be removed by choice for cosmetic reasons so this treatment is not typically offered by the NHS.
Advanced Electrolysis, also known as Advanced Cosmetic Procedure, is a popular way to remove skin tags. Harnessing techniques such as Thermolysis, this method uses a small heated probe to cauterise and lift away the lesion.
We may also suggest Cryotherapy for skin tag removal if we feel it’s more suitable for the client or they have a fear of needles (as the electrolysis pen is essentially a small needle).
