Common Areas Where Skin Tags Appear
Skin tags can develop anywhere on the body but are most commonly found in areas with friction, including:
- Neck
- Underarms
- Eyelids
- Groin and inner thighs
- Under the breasts
- Face and back
Skin Tag Removal Methods We Offer
1. Electrocautery (Burning Method)
Electrocautery is a highly effective procedure that uses a small electrical current to burn off the skin tag while sealing blood vessels to prevent bleeding. Benefits include:
- Quick and precise removal
- Minimal discomfort
- Little to no scarring
2. Cryotherapy (Freezing Method)
Cryotherapy uses liquid nitrogen to freeze the skin tag, causing it to dry up and fall off within a few days. This method is ideal for:
- Small to medium-sized skin tags
- Painless and fast healing
- Minimal risk of infection
3. Surgical Excision (Cutting Method)
Excision involves carefully cutting off the skin tag using sterile surgical tools. This method is recommended for:
- Large or multiple skin tags
- Immediate removal with no waiting period
- Guaranteed complete removal
4. Laser Skin Tag Removal
Laser therapy is an advanced technique that removes skin tags using concentrated light energy. It is best suited for:
- Delicate areas like the face and eyelids
- Precise removal with minimal impact on surrounding skin
- Minimal downtime and fast healing
