Home Dermatology Treatments Skin Benign Growths Skin Tag

Skin Tag

Skin tags, also known as acrochordons, are small, soft, benign growths of skin that commonly develop in areas where the skin naturally folds or rubs. These harmless lesions often appear as fleshy, skin-coloured or slightly pigmented protrusions attached by a narrow stalk. Although most skin tags are only 2–3mm in size, it is not uncommon for some to exceed 5mm or more – especially in people prone to multiple growths.

Safe and Advanced Treatment Options

At rtwskin clinic, we offer state-of-the-art technologies for skin tag removal, with minimal discomfort and outstanding cosmetic outcomes. Our methods include:

1. Laser Treatment to Remove Skin Tags

We use Erbium YAG and CO₂ lasers, depending on the location and size of the tag. These precision tools vaporise the tissue layer by layer without harming surrounding skin. It’s especially effective for removing skin tags around eyes or on thinner skin.

This laser treatment for skin tag removal is preferred when cosmetic outcome is critical, as it results in little to no scarring.

2. Cosmetic Radiosurgery (Cautery Excision)

Also known as cutting off skin tags, this method involves a fine heated wire that cleanly excises the tag at the base after local anaesthetic is applied. It is a quick and effective solution for those who want immediate results with minimal downtime.

Whether you need to remove eyelid skin tag or manage large clusters of tags, our team will advise you on the most appropriate method for your needs.
