Skin tags are small, benign growths that often appear on the skin’s surface. While generally harmless, they can be bothersome and affect your confidence. At FACEMED, we offer professional lesion removal treatments with both our Nurse Practitioner Monica Berrange and/or our Consultant Plastic Surgeons (depending on the lesion) to help you achieve smooth, clear skin.

Skin tags, also known as acrochordons, typically develop in areas where the skin folds or experiences friction, such as the neck, armpits, groin, and eyelids. They are composed of collagen fibers and blood vessels surrounded by skin. Common causes and risk factors include:
A predisposition to developing skin tags can run in families.
Frequent rubbing or friction in specific areas can lead to the formation of skin tags.
Hormonal fluctuations, particularly during pregnancy, can increase the likelihood of skin tags.
Older adults are more prone to developing skin tags.
Excess weight can contribute to the development of skin tags due to increased friction and skin folds.
At FACEMED, we offer advanced lesion removal techniques to safely and effectively treat skin tags. Our skilled practitioners utilise state-of-the-art methods to ensure minimal discomfort and optimal results. Treatment options include:
In this procedure, an electric current is used to burn off the skin tag.
A precise surgical removal of the skin tag using a scalpel or surgical scissors.
