What Are Skin Tags?

Skin tags (also known as acrochordons) are small, soft, flesh-coloured growths that hang off the skin. They are made up of collagen and blood vessels and are most commonly found on:

Neck
Underarms
Eyelids
Groin area
Under the breasts
Around the collar line

While skin tags are benign (non-cancerous), they can become irritated by clothing, jewellery, or shaving — prompting many people to seek removal for comfort and aesthetic reasons.

Common Reasons for Skin Tag Removal

Irritation from clothing or shaving
Discomfort or itching
Bleeding or catching on jewellery
Cosmetic concerns
Rapid growth or change in appearance (should be assessed first)

Treatment Methods

At Ultra Aesthetics, we use the most appropriate method depending on the size, location, and number of skin tags:

Cryotherapy (Freezing)
- Involves applying liquid nitrogen to freeze the skin tag, which then falls off within 7–10 days.
- Suitable for small to medium-sized tags.
Thermocoagulation / Electrocautery
- Uses a fine-tipped probe to apply controlled heat, cauterising and removing the skin tag quickly.
- Ideal for more delicate areas such as the eyelids or underarms.

All procedures are carried out in a clinical, sterile setting, and local anaesthetic may be used if needed for comfort.

Is It Safe?

Yes – skin tag removal is a routine, low-risk procedure when carried out by trained professionals. At Ultra Aesthetics, all treatments are performed in accordance with UK guidelines for minor skin procedures, with full hygiene and safety protocols in place.

Please note: Skin tag removal is considered a cosmetic procedure and is not available on the NHS unless the lesion poses a significant medical concern.

Pre-Treatment Assessment

A consultation is required prior to treatment to:

Confirm that the lesion is a benign skin tag
Rule out other skin conditions (e.g. moles, warts, or keratoses)
Discuss the best treatment method for your needs

If there is any uncertainty, we may recommend GP or dermatologist referral before proceeding.

Aftercare Advice

Keep the area clean and dry
Avoid picking or rubbing the site
Do not apply perfumed products or makeup until fully healed
