Skin tags are small, typically harmless and benign growths on the skin that can occasionally become irritated or unsightly. Many people experience skin tags on their face or body, which can significantly impact confidence and cause feelings of self-consciousness.
Skin tags commonly appear in areas like the armpits, groin, and neck due to friction where skin rubs against skin. Factors such as increased weight, heredity, or other unknown causes may make some individuals more prone to developing skin tags.
It's generally recommended to remove skin tags only if they are irritated, causing discomfort, or for cosmetic reasons. At Clinic Visjeune we offer a simple and comfortable method for removing skin tags using Shortwave Diathermy. This involves a cauterization process where a small tool is used to burn away the cells that compose the skin tag. The tag will naturally fall off within a few days following treatment. This quick procedure provides a permanent solution and often brings relief to those affected.
