Skin tags are common, non-cancerous growths that typically appear in areas where skin rubs against skin or clothing. While many people attempt to remove them at home using various remedies, opting for professional skin tag removal offers distinct advantages in terms of safety, effectiveness, and long-term results.
What Are Skin Tags?
Skin tags are small, soft, and usually painless growths of skin that hang off the body. They are often found on areas such as the neck, armpits, under the breasts, or in the groin area. While skin tags are harmless, they can be unsightly or irritating, especially if they rub against clothing or jewelry.
Home Remedies vs. Professional Treatment
Many individuals turn to home remedies to remove skin tags, such as tying the skin tag off with a string, applying apple cider vinegar, or using over-the-counter freezing treatments. However, these methods can come with a range of risks, such as infection, scarring, and incomplete removal, leaving behind an unsightly or even painful growth.
Why Professional Skin Tag Removal is the Safer Option:
- Minimising the Risk of Infection
When removing skin tags at home, you may not have the appropriate tools or hygiene standards to ensure the procedure is done safely. This increases the risk of infection, especially if the skin tag is cut or scratched incorrectly. At Harley Laser Specialist, our professional skin tag removal services are performed in a sterile, clinical environment, reducing the risk of infection significantly. - Precision and Effectiveness
Home remedies can often lead to incomplete removal or even damage to the surrounding skin. Professional skin tag removal uses precise techniques such as cryotherapy, laser treatment, or minor surgical excision to ensure the skin tag is fully removed with minimal discomfort and no damage to the surrounding tissue. - Minimising Scarring
While at-home methods can lead to scarring and potential dark spots, professional skin tag removal is designed to minimise any visible scarring. The specialists at Harley Laser Specialist use techniques that are tailored to your skin type, ensuring the process is as smooth and seamless as possible. - Quick Recovery and Results
Professional treatments are quick and efficient, often requiring only a single session. The recovery time is also minimal, with most people resuming their normal activities within a short time. On the other hand, home remedies may take longer and result in unnecessary irritation or complications that delay recovery. - Long-Term Results
Skin tags removed professionally are less likely to reappear. At Harley Laser Specialist, we ensure the entire growth is removed, so you won’t have to worry about recurrence. DIY methods may lead to partial removal, and some skin tags may even grow back, requiring additional treatment.
