Skin tags, medically known as acrochordons, are harmless skin growths that appear as small, soft, skin-colored, or darker outgrowths. They can form almost anywhere on the body but are most commonly found in areas where the skin folds or experiences friction, such as the neck, armpits, groin, under the breasts, or eyelids.<\/p>\n
The exact cause of skin tags is still unknown, but they are believed to develop due to skin rubbing against skin or clothing. This is why they are commonly found in skin fold areas. Certain factors might increase the risk of developing skin tags, such as age, genetics, obesity and hormonal changes. Also certain medical conditions like diabetes and insulin resistance may also increase the risk of developing skin tags.<\/p>\n
At Time Clinic, our experts can help treat skin tags using CryoPen for cosmetic reasons. The CryoPen treatment is a non-invasive option to remove skin tags effectively. It uses cryotherapy, which involves exposing the skin tags to extremely cold temperatures to destroy them without affecting the surrounding skin. This precise and accurate technique ensures minimal discomfort and quick treatment times, often lasting just a few seconds per lesion. During the procedure, patients may experience a mild stinging sensation, but it is generally well-tolerated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4294,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-4291","condition","type-condition","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
