Question 1

What causes skin tags to appear?

Accepted Answer

What causes skin tags is usually a combination of friction (skin rubbing on skin or fabric), age, hormonal changes such as pregnancy or menopause, weight change, and genetic predisposition. Most people develop their first one in their thirties or forties. They are not caused by anything you did wrong, and they are not contagious or dangerous.

Question 2

Are skin tags dangerous?

Accepted Answer

No. Skin tags are harmless growths of skin. They are not cancerous and they do not turn into anything cancerous. The reasons people choose to have them removed are practical, they catch on jewellery, rub on clothing, or sit somewhere that affects how the person feels in their own skin. If a feature is changing, growing, bleeding without obvious reason, or itching, it is worth seeing a GP first to confirm it is a skin tag and not something else.

Question 3

Can I remove a skin tag at home?

Accepted Answer

I would advise against it. The home methods I see online, string-tying, freeze kits, chemical removers, all carry real risk of infection, scarring, and incomplete removal. They also do not let anyone confirm the feature is actually a skin tag and not something that needs a GP. Professional removal in a clean studio, with proper technique and aftercare, takes minutes and heals cleanly.

Question 4

Will skin tags grow back after removal?

Accepted Answer

A specific skin tag, once properly removed by advanced electrolysis, does not grow back in the same spot. New ones can still appear elsewhere over the following months and years if the same factors that caused the originals are still in place, which is normal. Some clients come in once every couple of years for a quick clear-up of any new ones; others never need to come back.

Question 5

Does skin tag removal hurt?

Accepted Answer

It feels like a small, brief sting. The advanced electrolysis probe is fine and the contact with each tag lasts a second or two. Most clients tell me it is much less than they expected. We can always pause and check in. After the session, the area may be slightly tender and sometimes lightly red for a day or two. That settles quickly.

Question 6

How long does a skin tag removal session take?

Accepted Answer

A single tag is usually a five-to-fifteen-minute conversation including the look-and-confirm, the removal, and aftercare advice. A larger session covering several tags can run twenty to thirty minutes. I always quote the time and price up front before we start, and I never push for more than what you came in for.
