Skin Tag Removal
Quick, effective and virtually painless skin tag removal treatments.
Feel Comfortable in Your Own Skin
Are you bothered by small, fleshy growths on your skin? These bothersome protrusions, known as skin tags, can be more than just a minor annoyance. They often appear in the most inconvenient places - along your neckline, under your arms or even on your eyelids - catching on clothing, jewelry or interfering with your daily routines. Beyond the physical discomfort, skin tags can significantly impact your self-esteem, making you feel self-conscious about your appearance.
At Truly You Med Spa, we understand how these seemingly small skin concerns can have a big impact on your life. That's why we offer quick, effective and virtually painless skin tag removal treatments.
What Are Skin Tags?
Skin tags are small, soft, usually flesh-colored growths that most often appear on areas of the body where skin rubs. These benign growths are common and can occur in both men and women, especially as we age. While skin tags are harmless, many people have them removed to stop irritations or for cosmetic reasons.
Skin tags commonly appear on the neck, armpits, under the breasts, groin area and eyelids. They can vary from a tiny pinpoint to several millimeters in diameter. Genetics, obesity, hormonal changes and friction may be contributors to their development.
Our Skin Tag Removal Procedures
At Truly You Med Spa, we offer safe and effective methods for skin tag removal. At your detailed consultation, we'll assess your medical needs and history and recommend the best treatment methods based on the size, location and number of skin tags you wish to remove.
Cryotherapy
This involves a freezing of the skin tag with liquid nitrogen. The extreme cold will destroy the tissue, causing the skin tag to fall off within days to a week after treatment. Cryotherapy is quick, virtually painless and leaves minimal scarring.
Electrocautery
Using this technique, we employ a small electrical current to burn off the skin tag. The heat seals blood vessels, minimizing bleeding and promoting quick healing. Electrocautery is precise and effective for removing larger skin tags.
Snip Excision
For larger skin tags, we may recommend snip excision. After numbing the area with a local anesthetic, your practitioner will use sterile surgical scissors to remove the skin tag at its base carefully. This method provides immediate results and is particularly useful for eliminating multiple skin tags in one session.
Laser Removal
Advanced laser technology can remove skin tags by targeting and destroying the tissue. This method is precise, leaves minimal scarring and is especially useful for treating multiple skin tags or those in sensitive areas.

The Skin Tag Removal Process
Consultation
Your journey to clear, smooth skin begins with a personalized consultation at Truly You Med Spa. During this meeting, our expert practitioner will examine your skin tags, discuss your concerns and goals and recommend the best removal method for you. We'll explain the procedure, address any questions and ensure you feel comfortable and informed about the treatment.
Preparation
Skin tag removal typically requires minimal preparation. In the days before your treatment, we advise you to avoid certain skincare products or medications. If you have sensitive skin, we might recommend a patch test first.
Procedure
Most skin tag removal treatments are quick, taking just a few minutes or less per skin tag. Depending on the method, you may feel slightly stinging or burning, but discomfort is usually minimal and short-lived. We prioritize your comfort throughout the procedure.
Recovery
After skin tag removal, the treated area may be slightly red or tender for a few days. We'll provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote safe healing and minimize scarring. You can usually return to your normal activities immediately after treatment.
Results
The results of skin tag removal are typically immediate or visible within a few days to a week, depending on the method used. Once removed, skin tags generally do not grow back in the same spot. However, new skin tags may form in other areas over time.
