Skin tags, those small, benign growths that often dangle from the skin's surface, are a common dermatological occurrence. These soft, flesh-colored or slightly pigmented growths are typically painless and harmless, but their presence can be a source of annoyance or self-consciousness. Skin tags, also known as acrochordons, can appear in various areas of the body, including the neck, underarms, eyelids, and groin, and they are more prevalent in adults as they age.

​

How do Skin Tags form?

The exact cause of skin tags isn't always clear, but several factors are believed to contribute to their development. Friction between skin folds or clothing, as well as hormonal changes (such as during pregnancy), are thought to play a role. Additionally, genetics may make some individuals more prone to developing skin tags. While these growths are typically harmless, they can become irritated or bothersome when clothing or jewelry rubs against them.

Electrolysis for Skin Tag Removal: The Process 

Electrolysis, renowned for its precision and permanent hair removal capabilities, also excels at removing skin tags. During the procedure, a skilled technician employs a fine probe to target the base of the skin tag. A controlled electrical current is then applied through the probe, generating heat that coagulates the tissues. This effectively severs the blood supply to the skin tag and disrupts its growth. Over time, the skin tag darkens, dries up, and eventually falls off naturally, leaving behind smooth, blemish-free skin.

Why Choose Electrolysis for Skin Tag Removal? 

Electrolysis offers several advantages for addressing skin tags. It is a non-invasive and highly precise treatment suitable for various skin types and tones. Patients typically experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. Additionally, electrolysis ensures minimal damage to the surrounding skin, reducing the risk of scarring. The results are not only long-lasting but also contribute to improved skin aesthetics, making electrolysis a preferred choice for those seeking to eliminate bothersome skin tags and enhance their overall skin texture and appearance.
