What is Skin Tag?
Skin tags (acrochordons) are small fresh-coloured or brown growths that hang off the skin. Although they are common and harmless, skin tags can be unsightly to some people.
Skin Tag Causes
Skin tags are usually associated with obesity and commonly develop around the face, eyelids, upper chest, buttock folds and groin areas. It is believed that the causes of skin tags are related to frictions when skin rubs against itself or other materials.
Skin Tag Treatment
While skin tags are usually harmless, removing them can improve your skin appearance and boost your overall self-esteem significantly. Our professional skin tag removal services are a safe alternative to at-home remedies, minimising scarring and infection risks.

Results are visible immediately post-treatment, as the skin tag is removed immediately during the procedure. You may experience a small scab that falls off within a week. The area will gradually return to its natural color and texture.
After Skin Tag Removal: Post-Treatment Care
After removing a skin tag, some mild redness or swelling may occur. To ensure proper healing:
- Keep the area clean and avoid touching or scratching.

- Shield the area from direct sunlight until it has fully healed.
Healing time usually varies between 7 to 14 days, depending on the size and location of the skin tag.
