Skin Tag Removal

Safe and Effective Skin Tag Removal Solutions

Skin tags, medically known as acrochordons, are small, benign growths that often appear in areas where the skin folds or creases, such as the neck, armpits, eyelids, groin, and under the breasts. While they are generally harmless and painless, skin tags can be a cosmetic concern for many people and sometimes cause discomfort if they rub against clothing or jewellery.

Thermocoagulation: A Safe and Effective Treatment

Thermocoagulation, also known as radiofrequency coagulation, is a highly effective method for the removal of skin tags. This minimally invasive procedure uses a fine probe that emits a high-frequency electric current to generate heat. The heat causes the tissue of the skin tag to coagulate, effectively destroying the growth. The skin tag then dries up and falls off within a few days, or is removed within clinic, leaving minimal scarring.
