Skin Tag Removal

What are skin tags?

Skin tags are very common soft harmless lesions that appear to hang off the skin.

Skin tags develop in both men and women as they grow older. They are skin coloured or darker and range in size from 1mm to 5mm.

These lesions are most commonly formed as a result of ageing, but they tend to also be prevalent in obese people or people who have gained or lost a lot of weight.

They also tend to be more numerous in those with type 2 diabetes.

Where are Skin Tags Most Commonly Found?
Skin tags can appear on most parts of the body, but are most common in the following areas:

  • Eyelids
  • Neck
  • Armpits
  • Groin
  • Most common in areas of the body that have skin folds

Skin Tag Removal

Cryotherapy (Freezing)

This treatment involves removing the skin tag by freezing it, also known as Cryotherapy.

This is where Liquid Nitrogen is used on the skin tag to destroy its cells. This allows for the tag to be easily and painlessly removed.

It’s even quiet common for the skin tags to simply fall off naturally after cryotherapy treatment.

Shave Excision
This is where a local anaesthetic is provided and a razor is then used to shave the lesion off, cutting off the skin tag.

Diathermy
This method of getting rid of skin tags uses an electrical current and needle, working in contrast to the freezing method, by instead heating up the lesion.

This allows the skin tag to easily be cut from the skin surface.

Years of severe acne left marks on my cheeks. After three laser sessions with Dr Zokaie, I can see noticeable improvement. Rasa made each session comfortable and gave detailed aftercare advice. I feel like my confidence has returned and I can finally enjoy seeing my face without makeup.

I struggled with adult acne for years and tried so many treatments without success. At Linia Skin, Dr Zokaie personalised a Roaccutane plan for me. Monthly check-ins, blood tests, and advice from Rasa made me feel safe and supported. Within a few months, my skin is clear, and I finally feel confident in my own skin🙏

i booked a mole check at Linia Skin after putting it off for months. The appointment was efficient, Dr Zokaie was thorough, and Rasa ensured I was comfortable. The mole was examined and removed quickly, leaving a barely visible scar. I left feeling reassured and cared for"
