The skin tag is carefully cut away using a scalpel. A numbing injection is used to remove any pain or discomfort. The base of the skin tag is then cut away, leaving a small flat scar. Please contact the clinic for further information about minor-surgical procedures.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) laser can be used to permanently remove a number of skin lesions including: skin tags, warts, verrucae and dermatosis papulose nigra. The laser burns away the base of the lesion, leaving a brown scab that falls off after a week.
