Skin Tag Removal Treatment

Skin tags are small, soft, benign skin growths that extend out from different areas of the body. They are usually painless and carry no health hazards. But, often, a tag emerges at a place where it can rub against clothes and jewelry, causing a lot of irritation and discomfort. Moreover, if the skin tag is found on a visible area of the body, such as the face or neck, it can be a source of embarrassment. Therefore, many people prefer to undergo Skin Tag Removal in Dubai. 

Here’s all you need to know about the skin tag removal treatment.

Are You a Candidate?

You can be a good candidate for skin tag removal treatment if you:

• Have one or more skin tags on your body.
• Don’t like the look of the skin tag on your body.
• Are experiencing irritation or physical discomfort.
• Have overall good health.

Skin Tag Removal Goals

The aim of skin tag removal Dubai is to give you smooth and bump-free skin by:

• Removing any skin tags through excision, freezing, or burning.
• Reducing skin irritation associated with skin tags.
• Making sure that once removed, the skin tags leave no scars behind.

Skin Tag Removal Techniques

Most skin tags don’t require any treatment because they’re harmless. They do not cause any pain or discomfort unless rubbed frequently or twisted. However, they may not look good on the skin and which is why many people want to remove them.

Skin tag removal in Dubai can be done through several techniques, including the following.

• Excision – It is a surgical procedure that involves using a scalpel to cut the skin tag entirely. The surgeon first numbs the skin by applying a cream then cuts the tag away from the base of the skin. This procedure is usually quick and painless.
• Cryotherapy (Freezing) – It is a very quick treatment during which a medical professional applies a special solution (usually argon gas or liquid nitrogen) to the skin tag, either through a spray device, injection, or a cotton swab. This causes ice crystals to form within the skin tag, breaking up the tissue cells and causing no damage to the surrounding skin cells. The skin tag usually vanishes, leaving behind no trail of scarring.
• Cauterization – Burning off is another common method to remove skin tags. It involves using a small probe to apply a heat source directly onto the skin tag. The heat burns off the tag and causes it to come off quickly.
• Ligation – In this method, the surgeon places a small band at the base of the skin tag. This cuts off the blood supply to the upper part of the tag causing it to fall off on its own. This process can take up a few days and might be slightly painful.

All of these techniques may hurt a little, but your surgeon will use an anesthetic to numb the area before treating the skin tag. If there is any bleeding, your surgeon may apply medicine to stop the bleeding. In the end, the wound is bandaged and left to heal.

Pre-op Preparation

Skin Tag Removal Dubai is a fairly easy skincare treatment. But still, there are some pre-op arrangements that you need to make to ensure that your treatment goes smoothly and achieves the outcomes that you have already outlined. Some of the general instructions involved are:

• Get the required lab tests done and share the reports with your surgeon.
• Take the prescribed medications regularly.
• Avoid aspirin and other anti-inflammatory drugs that can result in blood thinning.
• Eat healthy foods and be careful with your diet.

Procedure

A skin tag Removal treatment is usually performed at a surgeon’s clinic. It usually takes less than an hour to perform the procedure, depending on the number of skin tags you have. The procedure usually flows like this:

• Your surgeon will first apply local anesthesia where the skin tag is found to eliminate any pain and discomfort during the procedure.
• If you are undergoing a surgical excision, your surgeon will use a scalpel to cut the tag from the base. For cauterization, the technique varies slightly as the surgeon uses a heat source to burn the skin tag.
• Once the tag has been removed through whatever technique was employed, your surgeon will stitch the wound and it will be left to heal.
• Sometimes the skin tag may not be completely removed, which requires repeating this procedure.
