Overview
Skin tags are small flesh-coloured growths. Removal is considered after the clinician agrees the lesion is a tag.
What concerns it may be used for
It may be considered for tags that catch on clothing or cause irritation.
How it generally works
A clinician removes the tag with a clinic method. Do not tie or cut tags at home.
Who may be considered
People considering this service need an in-person or clinic assessment. Medical history, medicines, skin type and the specific concern all affect whether it is appropriate.
Safety and clinical assessment
Bleeding, infection or a small mark can occur. Unusual lesions should not be assumed to be tags. Cosmetic procedures carry risks. A consultation should cover indications, risks, benefits, alternatives, realistic expectations, recovery and cost. Suitability, treatment parameters and expected outcomes vary by skin type, concern and clinical assessment. Individual results vary.
Frequently asked questions
Treatment selection begins with understanding the concern. Book a consultation rather than purchasing a procedure online.
