Skin Tag Removal
Skin tags are harmless but can be bothersome to some of us. These small, soft growths often appear in noticeable areas like the neck, underarms, or eyelids, causing discomfort or self-consciousness.
While they pose no health risk, their presence can still impact how we feel about our skin. Thankfully, safe and effective solutions are available, making it easier than ever to enjoy smoother, tag-free skin without unnecessary hassle.
What is Skin Tag
Skin tags are small, soft, and benign growths that can appear anywhere on the skin, but especially in areas with constant friction, such as the neck, underarms, thighs, and eyelids. They are most commonly found in those who are obese or suffer from type 2 diabetes.
These harmless skin lesions are made up of blood vessels and collagen fibres hanging off the skin’s surface. Their colour can vary, appearing flesh-toned, pink, or darker shades depending on the individual’s skin tone. While generally harmless, they can sometimes cause discomfort, especially if irritated by clothing or jewellery, and impact one’s confidence.
Types of Skin Tag
Skin tags come in various colours, shapes, and sizes. Below are the common types of skin tags:
Pedunculated Skin Tags
Filiform Skin Tags
Spherical Skin Tags
Drop-formed Skin Tags
Intertriginous Skin Tags
Skin Tag Removal Procedures and Techniques
Fortunately, skin tags can be removed through a variety of safe and effective procedures. Here at GTS Dermatology, our skin tag removal options are quick to minimise discomfort and reduce any chance of regrowth. These include:
- Laser Skin Tag Removal Treatment: This treatment targets the unwanted tissue with focused laser energy, effectively removing the growth while minimising damage to the surrounding skin.
- Cryosurgery: This technique uses extreme cold to freeze and destroy abnormal or damaged tissue, gradually causing the targeted tissue to die off and be replaced by healthy skin.
- Electrosurgery: This is a dermatological procedure that uses high-frequency electrical currents to cut, coagulate, or destroy abnormal skin tissue with minimal damage to surrounding tissue.
- Surgical Excision: This procedure, done under local anaesthesia, involves carefully cutting out the skin tag along with a margin of healthy tissue to ensure complete removal and prevent recurrence.
