Skin tags are small, soft growths that commonly appear on areas where the skin experiences friction, such as the neck, underarms, eyelids, groin and other skin folds.
They are usually harmless and often develop gradually, with some people having just one while others may develop several over time. Skin tags are not considered contagious, and they don’t spread from person to person.
Although skin tags are usually harmless, many people choose to have them removed because they can catch on clothing or jewellery, become irritated or simply because they would prefer their skin to look smooth.
Should you remove a skin tag at home?
There are many home remedies and DIY removal methods available online, but attempting to remove a skin tag yourself is not recommended. Cutting, tying, burning or using strong chemical products can cause unnecessary skin trauma and may result in bleeding, infection, irritation or hyperpigmentation.
It is also important to make sure that the growth really is a skin tag before attempting to remove it. Not every raised or pigmented skin growth is a skin tag, which is why a professional assessment is a important first step.
Advanced electrolysis can be used by trained practitioners for the removal of a range of common benign skin blemishes. The treatment uses a fine probe and controlled electrical energy to treat the targeted area with precision.
One of the benefits of a professional treatment is the ability to work carefully around the individual blemish while taking the surrounding skin into consideration.The technique and settings can also be adapted depending on the location, size and the characteristics of the blemish
For example, treatment around delicate areas such as the eyes requires a different approach from areas such as the neck, underarms or torso. A professional consultation allows the area to be assessed and the most appropriate technique to be discussed before treatment begins.
What other blemishes can be treated?
Depending on the type of blemish and individual suitability, advanced electrolysis techniques may be used for a variety of concerns , including:
Milia
Skin Tags
Seborrheic Keratoses
Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (DPN)
