Skin Tag Removal
Skin tag removal takes away small, unwanted skin tags using methods such as cryotherapy or electrocautery, with excision for larger ones. Mike Lee Laser & Skin Clinic offers it in Newton-le-Willows, beginning with a free consultation where your skin is assessed and a quote is given.
Effective Skin Tag Removal with Mike Lee
Skin tag removal is a simple and efficient procedure that can help you achieve smoother and clearer skin. Our skilled staff utilise only proven techniques to eliminate skin tags with precision and minimal discomfort. We understand that every individual is unique, so we tailor our approach to suit your specific needs and ensure optimal results.
During the skin tag removal process, we employ various methods, including:
Cryotherapy: This technique involves freezing the skin tag using liquid nitrogen. The freezing effect causes the skin tag to wither and eventually fall off.
Electrocautery: By using a low-level electrical current, we can safely and precisely burn off the skin tag. This method is effective in removing small to medium-sized skin tags.
Excision: For larger or more prominent skin tags, surgical excision may be recommended. Our skilled dermatologists will carefully remove the skin tag using sterile instruments, ensuring minimal scarring and optimal healing.
Flawless Skin Awaits
The duration of the skin tag removal procedure depends on the size and number of skin tags being treated. In most cases, the procedure is relatively quick, with minimal discomfort. Our team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to promote proper healing and minimise the risk of infection.
It’s important to remember that skin tags should always be evaluated and removed by qualified professionals. Attempting to remove them at home can lead to infection, scarring, or incomplete removal. At Mike Lee Laser and Skin Clinic, you can have peace of mind knowing that your skin tag removal will be performed by experienced experts in a safe and sterile environment.
If you’re tired of dealing with skin tags and longing for smooth and blemish-free skin, we invite you to schedule a consultation with our knowledgeable team. Let us help you regain your confidence and enjoy the flawless skin you deserve. Contact us today and take the first step towards skin tag-free skin.
How it works
Free consultation
Your skin is assessed, your concerns are discussed and a quote is given for the treatment. The consultation is free, and there is no obligation to go ahead with it.
Choosing a method
The clinic lists cryotherapy, electrocautery and excision as its methods. Which one is used is tailored to the size and type of skin tag you have.
The removal itself
The chosen method is used to remove the tag. Cryotherapy uses liquid nitrogen so the tag withers and falls off, while electrocautery uses a low-level electrical current.
Aftercare advice
Thorough aftercare guidance is given to help the skin heal well. The clinic says following it also helps to lower the chance of infection.
