Skin tags are harmless growths but can become bothersome, especially when they appear on visible areas like the neck, underarms, groin or eyelids. At our Chiswick clinic, we specialise in professional skin tag removal, helping you regain comfort and confidence through a simple, safe procedure.
Skin tags are small, benign growths often developing in areas where skin rubs together or experiences frequent friction or sun exposure. Although normally harmless, these growths can become irritated or impact your self-esteem. Our minimally invasive treatments ensure quick and precise removal without discomfort.
At our Chiswick clinic, we prioritise precision and safety. Unlike other methods such as liquid nitrogen cryotherapy or excision, we prefer electrocautery skin tag removal, ensuring minimal scarring and rapid healing.
Electrocautery precisely removes a skin tag by gently burning the base, ensuring quick, accurate, and safe removal. Unlike cryotherapy, which lacks precision, or excision, which can leave a noticeable scar, electrocautery offers superior cosmetic outcomes.
Yes, skin tag removal performed by a dermatologist at our clinic is extremely safe. It is easy to distinguish a skin tag from a mole or a wart. The minimally invasive procedure significantly reduces risks, promoting rapid healing and making it one of the safest cosmetic treatments available.
Healing usually occurs within a few days. A small scab forms at the treated area, naturally falling off without leaving a noticeable scar, quickly restoring clear and smooth skin.
Removal is permanent for the treated skin tag; however, new skin tags can appear elsewhere due to ongoing friction, genetic factors, or conditions like type 2 diabetes. Generally, removed skin tags do not return in the same location.
Other methods, such as ligation, surgical scissors (excision), or skin tag removal cream, exist but may be messier, less precise, or result in larger scars. Electrocautery consistently provides the most effective and cosmetically appealing outcomes.
Our minimally invasive approach ensures minimal discomfort. Larger skin tags may require local anaesthetic to numb the area, while smaller tags typically require no numbing, making the procedure virtually painless.
Your treatment will be personally conducted by Dr Bela, an experienced dermatologist renowned for precise, gentle, and effective skin tag removal. With extensive expertise, Dr Bela delivers exceptional cosmetic results.
While skin tag removal creams exist, they are generally less effective and messier than professional removal and may cause irritation.
We do not recommend cryotherapy for skin tags because it lacks precision and can damage surrounding skin.
Electrocautery is the ideal method for removing skin tags on sensitive areas such as the neck, offering precise results with minimal scarring.
The procedure usually takes between 15 to 30 minutes, conveniently fitting into your busy schedule.
Downtime is minimal, typically lasting just a few days. The treated area should be protected from rubbing or snagging on clothing or jewellery during this period.
