Skin Tag Removal Overview

Our private Edinburgh skin tag removal service, is a same day service, focussed on your convenience.

Private Skin Tag Removal in Edinburgh

Welcome to our Skin Tag Removal service. Skin tags, also known as papillomas or acrochordons, are small, soft, skin-coloured growths that often appear in areas where skin rubs against skin, such as the neck, armpits, and groin. While generally harmless and painless, skin tags can become a cosmetic concern or cause discomfort if they snag on clothing or jewellery.

Our highly skilled plastic surgeon specialises in the safe, effective, and minimally invasive removal of skin tags. We prioritise both medical and aesthetic considerations and are committed to offering personalised treatment options tailored to your specific needs.

Skin Tag Treatment Options

We offer three skin tag removal options tailored to meet the unique needs of our patients and strive for both optimal medical outcomes and aesthetic excellence.

  • Cryotherapy

    This method involves using liquid nitrogen to freeze the skin tag. It's a swift and effective technique, particularly for smaller skin tags. The frozen tissue typically falls off within a week or two after the treatment.

  • Surgical Excision

    Our surgeon can remove larger or more complex skin tags using a scalpel or surgical scissors. This method offers immediate results and is usually carried out with local anaesthesia.

  • Electrosurgery

    This procedure employs an electric current to burn off the skin tag. It's an efficient way to remove skin tags with minimal bleeding, making it ideal for tags with a stalk-like appearance.

A professional assessment ensures the most appropriate treatment approach for skin tags, focusing on cosmetic excellence and minimal scarring. We provide a comfortable experience with comprehensive aftercare advice for quick healing and optimal outcomes. Whether removing a single skin tag or multiple lesions, we are dedicated to offering the highest standard of care, with a patient-centred approach that prioritises your comfort and satisfaction.
