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.

Is skin tag removal painful?
Most patients describe the treatment as mildly uncomfortable at most. We use numbing methods where necessary to ensure the procedure is as comfortable as possible.
How long does the procedure take?
Most removals take 5–15 minutes, depending on the number and size of the skin tags.
Will the skin tag grow back?
Once removed correctly, the same skin tag will not grow back. However, some people are prone to developing new ones over time.
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is minimal. Some redness or slight tenderness may occur, but most people return to normal activities immediately.
