Skin tags are harmless growths that can appear anywhere on your skin, but often develop on neck, eyelids, or underarms. They may be the same colour as your skin, pink or darker. If you are looking for a quick and effective solution in the Flintshire area of North Wales,  then both Cryotherapy or Advanced Electrolysis are effective treatments. 

Cryotherapy using nitrous oxide to freeze the stalk of the skin tag is a proven method to safely treat skin tags, without cutting or burning the skin. This advanced treatment is not only faster than other methods but also minimises the risk of scarring. Most skin tags will change colour and naturally fall off within 2-6 weeks after a single treatment. The procedure is designed for your comfort, with only a slight stinging sensation during treatment.  

After treatment, your tag may look red and feel irritated for a few days but as there is no open wound, there is no risk of infection. Due to the extreme freezing a pale red spot may be present around the treatment area for up to 8 weeks.

Larger skin tags will require 2 - 3 treatments at 4 weeks intervals. Multiple skin tags can be treated in one simple consultation, saving you time and ensuring effective results.  For multiple areas, additional treatment sessions will be required. During your initial consultation you will be provided with a personalised treatment plan with an estimated cost. 

Advanced electrolysis is also a safe and effective way to remove skin tags, which uses an electric current through a very fine needle to remove the skin tag and cauterise the blood vessels that feed it. Your tag will be removed instantly, but you will be left with a small wound which will require a dressing for 2-3 days. Local anaesthetic will be injected or applied, subject to suitability, therefore the treatment will be painless. 

As with any cut or wound, there is a low risk of scarring, especially if the wound becomes infected or the scab is picked. The area will remain red until completely healed, as with any other surgical wound or cut/graze. Some aftercare restrictions apply due to open wound being present.

Multiple skin tags can be removed in one simple consultation of up to 1-hour, saving you time and ensuring effective results. For multiple areas, additional treatment sessions will be required. During your initial consultation you will be provided with a personalised treatment plan with an estimated cost.
