Skin tags are a fairly common condition that can affect anyone. It is a condition where a tiny section of the skin protrudes and hangs out. Removing skin tags calls for expert treatment. Our electrolysis clinic in Leeds has the skills and the equipment to treat skin tags safely and successfully.

However, before you consider skin tag removal, you should know all you can about them.

What Do Skin Tags Look Like?

Initially, skin tags appear as a tiny bump on the skin, which then grows gradually until it becomes quite large and hangs loosely over the surrounding skin. They are composed of fibrous tissues that have become loose. Small skin tags measures about 2-3mm but as they grow, they can become as large as 5mm or even larger.

Where Do Skin Tags Occur?

Skin tags can occur on any part of your skin such as the eyelids, neck, upper chest, armpits or even in extremely sensitive areas such as the genitals or groin. Although benign and completely harmless, they are viral in nature and can proliferate rapidly until you have hundreds of them all over your skin.

Why Should You Get Skin Tags Removed?

Skin tags are a real irritant especially when they occur in sensitive areas such as the genitals, groin and armpits or on the breasts. As you move around, they rub against your clothes and can cause itchiness, which can become embarrassing.

Skin tags on the neck or eyelids are unappealing and can have an impact on your social life.

How to Remove Skin Tags?

The process begins with a consultation with our skin specialist.

At our electrolysis clinic in Leeds, we use advanced electrolysis procedure to remove skin tags effectively. During the procedure, a slim needle is used to introduce a low voltage electric current into the skin tags. This dries them up from within and they gradually disappear into the surrounding skin.
