Skin Tag Removal Treatment
Neo-Derm offers a number of skin tag removal treatments. Please browse our range of skin tag removal treatments listed below for further details on the specific treatments we provide.
What Causes A Skin Tag?
Anyone can develop a skin tag, but they are particularly common in older people. It is thought skin tags grow where skin rubs against skin or alternatively clothing; however some people develop them for no apparent reason.
What Is Skin Tag Removal Treatment?
At Neo-Derm Clinics UK, in both London and Manchester, we use electrocautery for skin tag removal.
Skin Tag Removal Technique
A tiny amount of local anaesthetic is injected into the base of the skin tag to make the procedure more comfortable. The base of the skin tag is cut and burnt using a small hand held device. The device uses electricity to heat the targeted tissues, ultimately removing the skin tag. Following treatment patients can return to their daily routine since no recovery time is needed.

FAQ's
Is Skin Tag Removal Safe?
Absolutely. At Neo-Derm Clinics, you will be in the safest of hands, whichever removal method is selected by you and your doctor. The doctor you see will have spent intensive time treating within the industry, where they are tested against strict medical protocols exceeding all regulatory and clinical requirements.
Does Skin Tag Removal Hurt?
Your treatment will involve applying a local anaesthetic cream, or injecting a local anaesthetic to the skin tag area before removal, making treatment relatively painless. After treatment the skin left behind may be tender for a few days and will need to be covered. It is also best to use a strong sunscreen on the area.
Where On My Body Can I Have Skin Tag Removal?
You can have a skin tag removed from anywhere on your body. Our doctors have years of experience removing them from faces and sensitive and hard to reach places. Common affected areas include the eyelids, armpits, neck and groin.
Can I Have My Skin Tag Removed Just Because I Don’t Like The Look Of It?
Of course, unless your doctor feels there is a medical reason not to remove your skin tag. Unlike the NHS, who will only remove skin tags if they are potentially dangerous, at Neo-Derm Clinics UK we are used to removing skin tags for cosmetic reasons.
What Results Will I See Following Skin Tag Removal?
The treatment will completely remove the skin tag; however there will be a small white scar where removal took place. Other than that, complications are rare.
Will The Skin Tag Grow Back?
In most cases, the treatment will permanently remove the skin tag. However, there is a very small chance that it can grow back and skin tags may grow in other areas of the body in the future. If this is the case, we will book you in for another treatment. Look and feel your best with skin tag removal from our London and Manchester branches.
