Skin Tag Removal

The area to be treated is first thoroughly disinfected with antiseptic solution before the injection of local anaesthetic into and around the skin tag. For added comfort, cold air cooling can be applied to facilitate a more comfortable injection of local anaesthetic. After allowing 5-10 minutes for the local anaesthetic to take effect, treatment can begin.

Erbium YAG laser is very efficiently absorbed by water and can therefore be used to produce minimal thermal injury. Unlike CO2 laser, Erbium YAG laser can be considered as the gold standard tool for treating superficial skin lesions.

Most skin tags don’t need histology testing however in certain circumstances if the nurse thinks it is necessary then they will discuss this with you and the related costs.
