Edinburgh Skin Tag Removal Clinic

Skin tag removal is a medical procedure aimed at eliminating small, benign growths that often appear in areas where skin rubs against skin or clothing. At Skin Surgeons, we offer safe and effective options for removing skin tags, including surgical excision and cryotherapy.

If your skin tag causes discomfort, irritation, or if you’re unhappy with its appearance, it’s advisable to consult with our specialists. Removal may be recommended for cosmetic reasons or if the tag is prone to snagging on clothing or jewellery, which can cause pain or bleeding.

When performed by a qualified healthcare professional, skin tag removal is safe and carries minimal risks. Our team adheres to strict hygiene standards to prevent infection and provides thorough aftercare instructions to support proper healing.

While various natural remedies are suggested online, our specialists at Skin Surgeons recommend professional removal to avoid potential risks like scarring and infection. We focus on evidence-based treatments to ensure safety and effectiveness.

The duration of the removal process varies depending on the method and the number of skin tags. Procedures such as cryotherapy and laser removal are typically quick, often taking just minutes, while surgical removal may take longer, especially if local anaesthesia is used.

Recovery times vary by the removal method used. Minor procedures like cryotherapy generally require no downtime, whereas surgical removal may necessitate a few days of care. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions, including how to clean the area and what signs of infection to watch for.
