Understanding Skin Tags and Their Causes
Skin tags, medically known as acrochordons, are harmless, soft, and fleshy growths that develop on the skin’s surface. While they are completely benign, they can cause significant cosmetic concern and physical discomfort when they repeatedly catch on clothing or jewellery. The primary causes of these growths include genetics, natural skin friction in areas with folds, fluctuations in blood sugar and cholesterol levels, as well as the natural ageing process. They most commonly appear on the face, eyelids, neck, underarms, chest, abdomen, back, and groin. Because these lesions are closely tied to your unique physiology. Seeking a professional assessment at our affordable private skin clinic in Beaconsfield is essential to ensure they are accurately diagnosed and safely treated by one of our expert skin specialists.
Precision Skin Tag Removal Eye Area
Safely removing growths from highly delicate areas requires exceptional clinical precision and medical-grade technology. For patients requiring safe skin tag removal around the eyes, including the eyelids, we prioritise minimal discomfort and safety. For these delicate areas at the skin clinic, we use Thermavein. The fine probe that emits powerful energy directly onto the skin tag is precise and is the very best method to treat and remove skin tags from close to the eyes. The accuracy of the probe that delivers thermocoagulation means that the skin around the skin tag, very close to the eye, is not affected. Other devices such as CryoPen are too dangerous to use as a treatment for skin tags close to the eye area and eyelids. This is because shards of ice may well sit on the eye’s surface, causing discomfort. Following the procedure, the treated skin tag tissue simply undergoes a natural falling-off process, leaving behind smooth, completely clear skin. The process is quick and alleviates the need for invasive excision.
Comparing Our Advanced Skin Tag Removal Methods
Skin Revision ensures the highest standard of care for your skin tag removal at the skin clinic in Bucks. There are three alternative options of treatment which will be discussed during your consultation for skin tag removal at the Beaconsfield skin clinic. The size and shape of the tag and the location of the skin tag on the body will determine which procedure should be used. 1) ThermaVein thermocoagulation is only used on the very smallest of skin tags close to the eyes. ThermaVein safely seals the blood supply of the small loose tags without damaging the surrounding tissue. 2) For larger growths with firmer bases, we use Plaxel Plasma. Ionised gases convert to plasma when combined with oxygen, which creates targeted heat cauterisation. This instantly vaporises the skin tag, which falls off during the treatment. 3) CryoPen cryotherapy. This device delivers highly pressurised nitrous oxide to rapidly freeze the lesion at its root. After around 7 days, the skin tag will fall off, and clear new skin will be visible.
What is the Price or Cost to Remove Skin Tags?
Prices start from £85 for a single small skin tag. During the skin consultation at the Beaconsfield skin clinic, it will be determined the total cost to remove one or more skin tags. The price to remove skin tags varies according to the number of tags and the size of the skin tags. Skin tags with a thick base will take longer to remove with plasma, and therefore the cost will be greater. For one tag with a thick base, the price could be as much as £150. If there are multiple tags (e.g., 8), then the cost to remove them all during one visit could be as much as £175. Therefore, a skin tag consultation is necessary, initially over the phone, and then a free consultation before your skin tag treatment.
