Skin Tag Removal
What Are Skin Tags?
Skin tags are small skin growths that hang off the skin from a thin stalk. They are made up of fat and collagen and sometimes nerve cells and small blood cells. They are most often found on areas of the skin that receive a lot of friction, such as folds on the neck, underarms, eyelids, and under the breasts. They usually blend into the skin and are unnoticed unless they become enlarged or irritated due to friction.
What is Skin Tag Removal?
There are several ways that your skin tags can be removed if they have started to bother you. Using liquid nitrogen to freeze off the skin tag or a small electric probe to burn it off are two common techniques. The skin tag can also be snipped off with small scissors or a scalpel and this may be the easier option for large skin tags.
Candidates
Anyone who is bothered by their skin tags or has begun to feel physical discomfort because of them is a candidate for skin tag removal. This quick, minimally invasive treatment can help you restore smooth, unblemished skin and regain your confidence.
Skin Tag Removal Treatment
Olga will first meet with you to discuss your options and determine which treatment plan you are most comfortable undergoing. Options might vary depending on where your skin tags are located. For example, the eyelid is delicate, and the orbital bone makes it a difficult spot to treat with scissors. At your treatment, the first step is to apply a topical anesthetic such as lidocaine on larger skin tags that might have nerve connections. Your skin tags will then be carefully removed.
Results
There is a minimal recovery time after skin tag removal, but you should still be careful to avoid infection. Keep the site clean and covered for a few days to prevent infection and friction that could irritate the treated area. This will also minimize the chance of developing a lasting scar. Results are permanent but new skin tags can form.
