Question 1

Is skin tag removal painful?

Accepted Answer

Most people describe it as a brief pinch or sting per tag, not significant pain. Some areas are more sensitive than others. I can use a small amount of numbing if you'd prefer or if we're working on a more sensitive area. Most single small tags are over before you've had time to brace for them.

Question 2

How long does the procedure take?

Accepted Answer

A few minutes for a single small skin tag. Around fifteen to thirty minutes for multiple tags or larger ones. Including consultation, cleansing, the actual removal, and aftercare advice, expect to be in the chair for fifteen to thirty minutes total for most appointments. I'll give you a more specific time after we've talked through what you want done.

Question 3

Will the skin tag grow back?

Accepted Answer

The skin tag I remove won't return in the same spot - the technique detaches it from the base. New skin tags can develop elsewhere over time, particularly in areas that experience friction or in skin types prone to them. Most clients have a maintenance visit every year or two if new ones appear, but for many it's a one-off treatment.

Question 4

Will I have a scar?

Accepted Answer

Most people see no visible scar at all. Some skin types form a faint mark for a few weeks that fades naturally. The treated area forms a small scab within a day or two and falls away over seven to fourteen days, leaving fresh skin. I'll talk you through what to expect for your specific skin before we treat.

Question 5

Can you remove moles or other growths?

Accepted Answer

I do not remove moles. Moles need a medical assessment from a GP or dermatologist before any removal, because some moles are or can become medically significant. I treat skin tags, cosmetic red veins, small angiomas, and milia within strict cosmetic-appearance boundaries. If you bring me anything I can't confidently identify as cosmetic, I send you to your GP first.

Question 6

How is your skin tag removal different from a GP procedure?

Accepted Answer

GPs can remove skin tags but most NHS practices don't routinely do so for purely cosmetic reasons. Private dermatology clinics will, often at higher cost. I work as a trained beauty therapist using advanced electrolysis as a cosmetic appearance treatment, which means lower cost and direct access if your skin tag is clearly cosmetic. For anything that needs medical assessment, the GP route comes first.
