Let us introduce you to our Guest Expert, Amy Gordon, who specialises in Advanced Blemish Removal. Age Spots, Blood Spots, Milia, and Facial Thread Veins are just a few of the conditions she can target in her clinic with immediate results. Skin Tags are one of the most common conditions she treats, affecting approximately 50% of all adults at some point in their lives. So letβs take a closer look (literally)!
What are skin tags & where do they appear?
Skin tags are small, harmless growths that protrude from the skin on a thin stalk. They vary in size and colour and are made up of loose collagen fibres, nerve cells, and fat cells that are encased in skin. They can appear anywhere on the body but are most common in areas of friction, such as the underarms, groin, neck, or eyelids.
How are they removed in Amy’s Blemish Clinic?
Amy uses one of the most effective methods, Diathermy, for the removal of skin tags and other blemishes seen in her clinic. A small current is passed through a minute needle to cauterise the skin tag, removing with minimal discomfort. The procedure is quick and easy, and we can precisely target and remove multiple skin tags in a single session. The removal of a Skin Tag are instant, with permanent results. A small amount of redness may be present in the treated area, but it will fade quickly.
Do skin tags grow back after removal?
Skin tags will not regrow after they have been removed! It is possible to develop new ones, which means you are prone to developing them in that area.
When should I consider skin tag removal?
Skin tags are a completely harmless condition; however, you may consider having them removed if:
- They are easily irritated
- You do not like their appearance
