Easing Concerns Over Skin Tags with Professional Care
Skin tags, though harmless, can often be a source of discomfort or self-consciousness, especially if they’re in visible areas or where clothing may rub against them. At Beyond Skin, I understand your desire for smooth, clear skin. I’m here to offer a safe, quick, and effective solution for removing skin tags, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident in your skin.
The Basics of Skin Tags
Skin tags are small, soft, skin-coloured growths that hang off the skin and are common and benign. They can vary in colour and size and typically occur on the neck, armpits, around the groin, or under the breasts. While skin tags are not dangerous, their location can lead to irritation from friction or simply cause cosmetic concerns.
Gentle and Effective Removal Options
At Beyond Skin, I utilise a variety of methods to remove skin tags, prioritising your comfort and the cosmetic outcome. Treatment options include:
- Cryotherapy: A quick procedure where liquid nitrogen is used to freeze off the skin tag, causing it to fall off naturally.
- Surgical Excision: For larger skin tags, a precise cut with a scalpel or surgical scissors may be the most effective method.
- Electrocautery: Burning off the skin tag with electrical current.
- Ligation: The process of tying off the skin tag at its base with surgical thread to cut off its blood supply, causing it to fall off.
The choice of treatment depends on the size and location of the skin tag, as well as your personal preferences. Rest assured, each procedure is minimally invasive, with most requiring no downtime.
If you’re seeking treatment for skin tags and aiming for a clearer, smoother skin, schedule a visit to Beyond Skin. Together, we’ll choose the best treatment option for you, addressing your concerns with utmost care and professionalism.
