Many ladies are walking around with skin tags and while these are essentially benign and harmless features, many of them will look upon them with disappointment when they face their mirrors back home.
Just because they are usually not a threat to life and limb does not mean they should be ignored. Like excess facial hair, warts, or moles, there is much that can be done about them.
Should they display worrying symptoms such as expanding or bleeding, you should see your GP. Only in such instances will the NHS treat them. Otherwise, they are a matter of private cosmetic removal.
To try to do this yourself might be a nasty process that involves cutting yourself and risking infection, which is why the best approach is to have it done by a professional using the right equipment in a skilled way.
While they can be cut off using a surgical instrument, you can avoid all blood, bruising and pain by either having them removed by a laser or frozen.
The process of using a laser has various advantages. It avoids any damage to the surrounding skin because it is so focused on the tag itself. A further benefit is it can be done very quickly, especially with a small tag.
Freezing tags is done by a means known as cryosurgery, or cryotherapy, which works in the same way with warts or moles. It involves freezing the tissue so that it kills it, making it easy to remove. Unlike other treatments, no local anaesthetic is needed.
Because there are multiple options for removing tags, which can be carried out safely and swiftly, you can be confident that one of our skilled experts can find the right solution for you. The results you see in the mirror will soon make you glad you had it done.
