What is a skin tag and why remove it?
A skin tag is a small, soft, benign (harmless) piece of skin that hangs from the surface of the skin.
Skin tags can develop as a result of skin rubbing together or because of genetics.
The most common areas skin tags form are the eyelids, neck, breasts, underarms and groin area. People who are overweight or who have skin that naturally folds are more likely to see skin tags form.
Most of the time, there is no need to remove a skin tag for medical reasons, but if they become irritated or are frequently rubbed or snagged, they can become infected.
While most patients think home remedies are enough, they do not give great results and can actually cause more harm. This is why we recommend you book a consultation at our clinic near Chingford, so that we can assess the skin tag, your medical history and develop a tailored treatment solution.
Skin tag removal procedure Chingford
While you can opt to have warts, skin tags and other skin growths removed with a medical procedure, such as with surgical scissors, freezing them is one of the most safe and effective options.
At Time Clinic near Chingford, we provide the CryoPen skin tag removal treatment.
What is CryoPen treatment?
Also known as cryosurgery, CryoPen treatment works by freezing the skin tag or skin tags on the surface of the skin.
The CryoPen device blows a fine jet of extremely cold nitrous oxide onto the skin tag or skin lesion. This helps to destroy the skin tag without causing any damage to the healthy surrounding tissue.
This is a much less invasive skin tag removal treatment, compared to surgical removal, which means there is much less chance of any scars forming.
How CryoPen works
The CryoPen treatment process is fairly simple and involves:
- A consultation with one of our trained doctors or practitioners to assess your skin concerns and check out your medical history.
- On the day of your CryoPen treatment, the device will blow a targeted stream of nitrous oxide onto the skin tag to freeze it. This can take a few seconds or minutes depending on the size and location of the skin tag or growth. You will not need any local anaesthetic as there is minimal discomfort with this treatment.
- After treatment, the treated area may sting for a few hours. The frozen skin tag will dry up and naturally fall off in 1-2 weeks. The skin will need 6-8 weeks to fully heal.
- You can return to your normal activities straight after treatment. Your doctor will provide you with aftercare instructions to help you protect your skin.
How many CryoPen treatments will I need to remove a skin tag?
Many of our patients require a single treatment to remove their skin tag. However, if you have a larger skin lesion, you may need an additional treatment session to fully remove it.
If you do need more than one session, we will space them a few weeks apart to allow the healing process to take place.
