Our Skin Tag Removal Procedure Means No More Unsightly Skin Tags

Skin tags are small pieces of hanging skin that although are harmless – are never flattering. Typically these annoying growths of skin can be found around the neck, eyes, underarms, breasts, or groin and are thought to be caused by friction, skin irritation, obesity, and even genetics.

They are called a “tag” because they look like a raised piece of hanging skin, sometimes slightly darker in color than the surrounding skin. About 25% of people over 50 will develop skin tags. Though harmless, they can be unsightly, cause social embarrassment, and become irritated by friction from skin and clothing.

What Is Skin Tag Removal?

Regardless of the skin tag removal method applied, the process cuts off the blood supply to the tag, which causes it to fall off, either immediately or within several days.

There are several procedures used by doctors: cryosurgery (freezing the tag off with liquid nitrogen), excision with a scalpel, or electrocautery (removed with heat from a laser).
