Skin Tag Removal
Skin tags can be quite irritating. They get cut by razors, caught on jewellery, and pinched by your waistband or underwear. If you have large skin tags on your eyes, it can be really embarrassing. We can remove skin tags in a very short and fairly painless procedure.
About Dermatology
We offer a range of advanced skin treatments for various conditions. The specialists at our clinic provide these treatments in a safe way and under strict protocols. Before the dermatology treatment begins, you will have an initial consultation with one of our specialists to evaluate the condition of your skin. We will prepare a treatment plan for you, with our recommendations for which treatment to have and how many sessions you may require.
Treatment Process – Dermatology
- Initial Consultation
Before any treatment, we will spend 10-15 minutes carrying out a skin condition assessment using an analyser device, which enables our clinician to understand the health of the skin including, hydration, thickness and any underlying health issues.
- Treatment Plan
Following the consultation, we will prepare a treatment plan which will set out how many sessions you might need and the intervals between the sessions. Each treatment session will normally be around 30-45 minutes.
Pre-treatment advice – Dermatology
Do not drink any alcohol during the 24 hours before your treatment.
Treatment Aftercare – Dermatology
Aftercare is very important, so make sure you’re doing everything right by discussing it with your clinician:
- Don’t touch, massage or rub the affected area in any way for at least 48 hours after treatment
- Don’t undergo other treatments like microdermabrasion, facials and chemical peels for at least 24 hours after the procedure.
If you require pain medication after treatment, you can take paracetamol, but avoid anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen and aspirin, as these thin the blood, which can make bruising worse.
It is rare to get any serious side effects following treatment, however possible side-effects include the following:
- Bruising/swelling/redness at injection site
- Infection
- Nausea, headache or flu-like symptoms
- Occasional numbness
- Drooping of the eyebrow or upper eyelid or swelling and redness in eyelids
There can be allergic reactions including:
- Rash and itchiness
- Visual disturbances
- Visual loss
- Photosensitivity
- Facial swelling
- Dry mouth
- Dizziness
- Anxiety
- ‘Pins and needles’ sensation
- Dry skin
- Antibody formation (substantial deterioration in response)
If you experience any of the above after having the treatment, speak to your clinician or medical practitioner immediately.
