Skin Tag and Milia Removal
What is a Skin Tag?
Skin Tags are very common and mostly occur around the face, neck, armpits, groin and abdomen. Skin tags are small, soft, skin-coloured growths that hang off the skin and look a bit like warts. Skin tags are made of loose collagen fibres and blood vessels surrounded by skin. Both men and women can develop skin tags and they tend to occur in older people. Pregnant women may also be more likely to develop skin tags as a result of changes in their hormone levels.
What is the removal procedure?
Skin tag removal is very quick and easy. The treatment is carried out using a very low current, which cauterises the area to be treated. This dries up the lesion. In the case of most skin tags, once the tag is treated it will drop off during the healing process. Any located near the eye or lash line can also be treated with great results.
