Skin Tag Removal: Quick & Effective Solutions

Skin tags are often small, soft, and flesh-coloured growths on the skin. They are also referred to as acrochordons. They are often attached to the skin by a small, thinner stalk section. They are quite common, and for most people, they are small and harmless.

However, at Facial Perfection, we know that just because something is harmless to us physically, it can leave us feeling a little more anxious and confident, especially depending on where you experience your skin tags. Skin tags are most commonly found in areas where our skin folds, such as our necks, armpits, under the breast, and groin.

Although they are harmless you should still ensure you go to a trusted clinic or practice to have them removed in a manner that is safe, quick and effect. This is where our expert team at Facial Perfection can help!

What Are Skin Tags?

Skin tags are small, usually only a few millimetres in size; however, some people notice that their skin tags may grow to be larger in size. They are often formed in a cluster, and although the cause of them is yet to be completely understood, it is believed that the most common cause for skin tags is due to the skin rubbing against itself or clothing. Anyone can develop skin tags; however, some factors can increase your chances of having skin tags, such as:

• Obesity
• Type 2 diabetes
• Hereditary
• Hormonal changes, including pregnancy

When to see your GP

As mentioned, skin tags are usually harmless and are not a sign of any larger health concerns, but we recommend that you visit your GP if you notice that the skin tag has:

• Grown larger
• Become painful
• Bleeding
• Increase in the number of skin tags

Why Remove Skin Tags?

Skin tag removal is a personal choice, as for some people, the area in which they have developed skin tags can make them feel self-conscious, and for others, it may irritate them. Skin tags can become irritated if they are constantly being rubbed against clothing and caught on jewellery

Treatment Options for Skin Tag Removal

At Facial Perfection, we use a technique to remove skin tags safely, precisely, and minimally invasively. This cosmetic treatment involves removing the skin tags instantly. Our treatments are crafted around your skin type, the location of skin tags, and the number of skin tags.

What can you expect from the procedure?

• Most skin tags can be removed in just one session
• The treatment is quick, safe, and suitable for all skin types
• Minimal scarring

This method is an excellent choice for clients seeking an effective and non-surgical solution to remove unwanted skin tags — particularly in areas prone to irritation or visibility.

What to Expect During and After Treatment

We prioritise your comfort and safety at every stage of your treatment. Our skin tag removal treatment is generally well-tolerated, with most clients describing the sensation as a mild stinging or warm tingling. For those who may be more sensitive, a topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand to reduce any discomfort.

Immediately after the treatment, the area may appear slightly red or raised, similar to a mild graze. This usually settles quickly; a small scab may form as the skin heals. It's important not to pick at it — this allows your skin to heal naturally and reduces the risk of scarring.

Healing typically takes 10–14 days, and full aftercare instructions are provided to ensure the best results. We recommend keeping the area clean and dry, avoiding harsh products, and using a high SPF if the area is exposed to sunlight.

Facial Perfection assures that an experienced, qualified aesthetic practitioner carries out all treatments in a clean, clinical environment — so you can feel fully confident in your care from consultation to aftercare.
