Professional removal of unwanted skin tags

Skin tags are small, soft growths that sit on or hang from the surface of the skin. They are commonly found around the neck, underarms, chest, eyelids and other areas where skin rubs against skin or clothing.

They do not usually require medical treatment. However, you may choose to have them removed if they are frequently irritated, catching on clothing or affecting how you feel about your skin.

At Beverley Alexandra, suitable skin tags can be treated using a precise plasma device, allowing Beverley to target the unwanted tissue while minimising disruption to the surrounding area.

Skin tag removal may be suitable for

  • Small, soft skin tags
  • Tags that regularly catch on clothing or jewellery
  • Skin tags around the neck, chest or underarm area
  • Tags that become irritated through friction
  • Clients who would like a skin tag removed for cosmetic reasons

All areas are assessed before treatment to confirm that removal is appropriate.

How does skin tag removal work?

A precise plasma device is used to deliver a controlled arc of energy to the skin tag. This targets the unwanted tissue without the need for traditional surgery.

Depending on the size and location of the tag, topical anaesthetic cream may be applied before treatment.

The treated area may be red or sensitive afterwards, and a small crust can develop while the skin heals. This should be left to fall away naturally.

What to expect after treatment

Some redness, tenderness or swelling may be present immediately after skin tag removal. A small crust may form over the treated area during the healing process.

Avoid picking or rubbing the area and follow the aftercare advice provided at your appointment.

The treated skin should be kept clean and protected from unnecessary sun exposure while it heals.

From the minute I walked through the door Bev made me feel at ease and comfortable. She has a lovely salon and her treatment was first class. Will definitely return to Bev for any other treatments I need

What a gorgeous place Beverley has created , it’s very stylish , relaxing and spotlessly clean . Beverley is just lovely, very knowledgeable , thoughtful with great attention to detail and makes you feel totally at ease . I have had a course of treatments on the body balancer which I feel has been extremely beneficial in reducing my night time leg cramps which in turn has improved my sleep . I would 100% recommend Beverley and her gorgeous clinic .🤗

I honestly cannot recommend Beverley enough. I went to her for my lips and, from the consultation onwards, I felt completely confident that I could trust her with my face.

One of the things I appreciated most was how honest and considered she was about what would actually suit me. There was absolutely no pressure to have more done, and I never felt like she was trying to sell me treatments I didn’t need. If anything, she kept me grounded about what would actually enhance my face while still keeping me looking like me — which is exactly what you want from someone you’re trusting with aesthetics.

And my lips… I am OBSESSED. They are genuinely stunning. They’re fuller and have such a beautiful shape, but still look completely natural. That was exactly what I wanted, and she absolutely nailed it. I still look like me — just enhanced in all the right places.

Beverley is also just lovely. She made me feel completely comfortable and relaxed throughout the whole appointment, and I came away feeling like she’d really listened to what I wanted rather than just giving me a generic result.

I’ll absolutely be going back to her for my Botox and I genuinely wouldn’t want to trust anybody else with my face now. If you’re nervous about aesthetics because you don’t want to look overdone, Beverley is exactly the person I’d recommend. She genuinely cares about getting the right result rather than simply doing more.

And judging by these lips, I think I chose very well. ❤️

Thank you, Beth x

FAQs

A skin tag is a small, soft growth that hangs from the skin. Skin tags are usually harmless and are commonly found in areas where the skin experiences friction.

Most skin tags do not need treatment. Removal is usually chosen because a tag is catching, becoming irritated or causing a cosmetic concern.

The standard appointment includes removal of up to five suitable skin tags. If you have more than five, Beverley can assess them and advise you on the appropriate appointment or cost.

A skin tag that has been fully removed does not usually grow back in the same place. However, this does not prevent new skin tags from developing elsewhere.

Any treatment that breaks or heats the skin carries a risk of temporary redness, pigmentation changes or scarring. The likelihood varies depending on the size and location of the skin tag, your skin type and how the area heals.

No. Treatment is only offered for skin tags that can be confidently identified and are suitable for cosmetic removal.

Any growth that has changed in size, colour, shape or texture, or that bleeds without being caught, should be assessed by a GP or dermatologist rather than treated cosmetically.

Cutting, tying or burning a skin tag yourself can lead to bleeding, infection, skin damage or the accidental treatment of something that is not a skin tag. Professional assessment and removal are recommended.

The area will be assessed before treatment. If Beverley is not satisfied that the growth is a harmless skin tag, treatment will not go ahead and you may be advised to seek medical assessment.

Beauty is not just about how you look, but how you feel.
