Skin tags, or acrochordons, as they are also medically known, are small, soft growths that appear on areas of the body where the skin folds or rubs together. They most often occur on the neck, underarms, eyelids, breast area, and groin. Skin tags vary in size, ranging from a few millimetres to the size of a pea, and are usually flesh-coloured or slightly darker.
The tags are mainly composed of collagen fibres, nerve cells, and tiny blood vessels surrounded by skin. While they might resemble moles or warts at first glance, skin tags are entirely different and do not pose a threat to your health.
The good news is that skin tags are not dangerous. They are non-cancerous, they do not turn into anything harmful, and they rarely cause medical issues. Most people choose to remove them not because of health risks, but because they:
Even though skin tags are generally harmless, it is still important to have them assessed by a qualified professional before removal to ensure they are indeed skin tags and not another type of lesion.
Many people choose to remove skin tags for both practical and cosmetic reasons. If a skin tag is bothering you, removal can improve comfort, appearance, and peace of mind.
Skin tags often form in areas where friction is common, such as the armpits, bra line, groin, or neck. Over time, they can catch on clothing, jewellery, or razors, causing soreness or bleeding. Removing them eliminates these day-to-day irritations.
Skin tags can affect confidence, especially when they appear on visible areas like the eyelids, face, or neck. Many people feel self-conscious about them and prefer the smoother, clearer look that comes after removal.
Modern skin tag removal treatments are incredibly quick. Most appointments take just a few minutes, and the procedures are designed to be minimally invasive, safe, and virtually painless. With professional removal, you can expect clean results, minimal scarring, and a fast recovery.
Although there are DIY methods and over-the-counter treatments for removing skin tags, professional treatments are still the most effective and safest. Here are some of the reasons why you should consider removing skin tags professionally:
Professional removal at The Artistry Clinic ensures:
Attempting to remove a skin tag at home can cause unnecessary complications. Our clinic provides a fast, comfortable, and medically supervised solution.
At The Artistry Clinic, we use the most effective, minimally invasive methods for skin tag removal in London. Each treatment is selected based on your skin type, the size of the skin tag, and the location on the body.
Cryotherapy involves freezing the skin tag using a precise jet of medical-grade liquid nitrogen. This process cuts off the blood supply, causing the tag to dry up and fall off naturally over the following days.
Cryotherapy is:
It is safe for many areas of the body and leaves minimal to no scarring.
Laser removal is ideal for people who want the cleanest, most precise result. A targeted laser is used to heat and destroy the skin tag tissue, causing it to detach from the skin quickly and cleanly.
Laser removal is:
Because the laser cauterises as it works, bleeding is minimal, and healing is rapid.
Electrocoagulation uses a specialised device that applies controlled heat to the skin tag. This heat destroys the tissue and seals the area instantly.
This treatment is:
Electro-procedures are especially effective for larger or stubborn skin tags.
I have been a returning customer to Artistry Clinic for a number of years. My first treatment was for nose reshaping, I was so happy with the results, I have since returned multiple times and have expanded to receive other filler based treatment. I am always made to feel comfortable and have absolute confidence in the results every time.

EXCELLENT Based on 156 reviews Posted on Tahnee WrightTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an exceptional experience at the Artistry Clonic! Dr. Majid’s hour-long consultation was thorough - he took the time to listen to my concerns, explain all my options, and ensure I felt comfortable with the proposed treatments. His expertise and personalized approach gave me full confidence in his recommendations. The clinic itself is immaculate, welcoming, and professional. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking top-tier aesthetic care!Posted on VivianTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have had a few treatments with Sarah each time I have left feeling extremely happy. Can't wait to see the results from the latest laser treatment that I hadPosted on R AbrahamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been going to Dr Sarah's clinic since 2014 and I must say everytime I go there for any treatment particularly fillers I am always amazed and extremely happy with the results. Dr Sarah is one of the best in the industry and I must say I have tried few others in the past and was dissapointed. She does her job with extreme love and care and I have never felt safer and relaxed elsewhere. I highly recommend this amazing Lady to anyone who is looking for any treatments. The Teams are very friendly and always promp with any queries.Posted on KavitaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a repeat customer I have always appreciated Dr Sarah’s considered advice, focus on delivering a natural looking result and time she takes to answer questions.Posted on Aline LimaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been a few times now to see Dr. Sarah and I love it. She is very resourceful and I really trust her on helping me to pick the right treatments. She makes sure I get the results and look as natural as possible, which I find very important. Yesterday I had a laser done, she made sure it was adjusted so I wouldn’t feel too uncomfortable as I was worried if it would be painful. I left the clinic and was able to go for dinner, the downtime was much easier than I expected, I am super happy about it!Posted on Yaiza Naíla Torreiro VillarinoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have loved my experience thus far. Dr Majid is absolutely amazing - you can tell he knows his craft inside out, he takes the time to explain how things work and why he's going to do things in a certain way. The results I have had for my TMD so far are really good. He's also a nice person to be around and I'm very thankful for his time and insight helping with my problem.Posted on Marc DavidsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic doctors and staff. I have been coming here for many years and the level of service and quality of care has remained first class throughout that time. Before finding the Artistry Clinic, I visited a few other practices in Harley Street but they don’t even come close to just how welcome and valued as a patient you are made to feel here. Both Dr.s Sarah and Majid are exceptional at what they do, genuinely care and with impeccable bedside manners are role model doctors.Posted on Jenny OsterbergTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely the best, love coming to Majid and his lovely colleagues!Posted on S MTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
