Skin Tag Removal in Portsmouth
Skin tags are small, soft growths that hang off the skin and can occur anywhere on the body. They are typically caused by skin rubbing against the skin or against clothing. Although benign, these small growths can cause discomfort or become an aesthetic concern.
The removal of skin tags is a safe procedure. To ensure your peace of mind, all the skin tags we remove are sent to a specialist pathologist for additional verification. Your well-being is our paramount concern.
What does the treatment for Skin Tag Removal involve?
Skin tag removal begins with a local anaesthetic to numb the area around the skin tag. Using precise techniques under magnification, the skin tag is then quickly and accurately removed.
The small wound created is carefully sealed using micro-absorbable stitches. These stitches naturally dissolve over time, eliminating the need for a follow-up visit to remove them. Please note that peri-anal skin tags are generally not stitched.
Recovery from Skin Tag Removal
Skin tag removal recovery is typically rapid, depending on the location of the wound. You can expect minimal discomfort and minor bruising following the surgery. However, normal activities can often be resumed quickly. The dissolvable stitches used during the process take about 2–3 weeks to fully dissolve.
What you can expect from Skin Tag Removal
The skin tag removal process, taking around 30 minutes, can vary depending on the tag type and its location. The procedure starts with local anaesthesia, followed by careful removal, and concludes with the placement of dissolving stitches. This smooth, straightforward process prioritises your well-being and minimises any disruption to your daily routine, leaving you with excellent results.
