Skin tag removal
what are skin tags?
Skin tags are small growths that hang off your skin. They can vary in colour and size – from a few millimetres up to 5cm wide and are usually found on the neck, armpits, around the groin, or under the breasts. They're common and harmless, but can be removed if they're bothering you. At SKINLAB, we understand the desire for smooth, flawless skin. That’s why we offer skin tag removal using the state-of-the-art Sterex Machine.

The cost for this is £25 but is redeemable against treatment.
PLEASE NOTE: Please be sure that you are booking in for the correct blemish removal. If we are unable to treat, the deposit is non refundable due to 30 minutes of clinic time being booked out for the appointment. However, if you proceed with treatment, the £25 consultation fee will be taken off your final treatment bill.

Avoid tanning, excessive sun exposure, and applying any harsh chemicals to the area to be treated.
-
On the day of the procedure, the area around the skin tag will be cleaned and prepared.
Aftercare
-
Reddening, swelling and sensitivity of the skin in the area for up to 48 hours.
The treated area and surrounding skin may feel hot for up to 48 hours.
Pin dot crusts or small scabs may appear in the treated area.
The skin may itch as the healing process takes place.
-
Pin dot crusts or scabs may appear which seal the skin and prevent infection.
These must not be rubbed or picked off, as to do so may result in scarring.
The Crusts or scabs are tiny and often are ‘felt’ rather than ‘seen’. - Do not touch, rub or irritate the treated area.
When washing and cleansing around the area, use a gentle soap or perfume free cleanser and gently pat the area dry to avoid dislodging any crusts or scabs.
Avoid activities for 48 hours that stimulate blood flow following vascular treatments, e.g. exercise, hot showers, hot baths, hot spicy foods and alcohol.
Avoid activities for 48 hours that may irritate or dislodge any crusts or scabs, e.g. swimming, saunas, steam rooms, facial steaming, facial scrubs, waxing and other beauty treatments until the area has completely healed.
Do not fly within 48 hours following a vascular treatment. - You must keep out of UV light completely during the healing process and as much as possible thereafter.
Once healed, cover and protect sun exposed areas using a good quality, high factor sunscreen at all times, particularly in the summer months.
Avoid the possible causes of vascular blemishes, for example, wearing tight fitting glasses, squeezing spots, careless or erratic tweezing or blowing nose too vigorously.
Avoid using any possible skin sensitisers or irritants such as perfumes, fake tan products or perfumed body lotions until skin is healed.
