Skin tags are benign, small flaps or stalks of skin that are usually located around the neck, underarm and/or groin. Some patients prefer to have their skin tags removed.
Although skin tags, also known as acrochordons, are generally harmless and do not affect the appearance of the surrounding area. Some skin tags can also cause itching, irritation, or bleeding in some patients.
One of our experienced dermatologists should first distinguish skin tags from other more serious spots before they are removed. It is possible to have the skin tags removed in an office visit. However, most insurance companies don’t cover this cosmetic procedure.
Top non-surgical treatment to remove unsightly skin growths or discolorations
Skin tags, which are tiny skin growths, start appearing on our bodies as we age. A skin tag typically has a thinner base and a wider top. They look like a small “tag” on the skin. They can be found under the arms, neck, back and groin.
The growths can be caused by friction, such as from your shirt’s underarms or a necklace. Skin tags can also be caused by weight gain, pregnancy, or diabetes.
It is not a good idea to remove skin tags in your own bathroom. Many people will search the Internet for ways to remove skin tags. This could cause skin damage and/or scarring.

Is laser good for skin tag removal?
Laser skin rejuvenation offers a safe and effective way to remove skin tags and even certain types of unsightly scars such as hypertrophic scars and acne or surgical scars. During treatment, laser light is focused on your damaged skin cells at a very precise wavelength that only targets those cells. By targeting the damaged cells with laser light, we can safely destroy them, which helps to reduce the appearance of unwanted skin tags.
Can you laser over skin tags?
Lightly pigmented skin tags are safe to treat with laser hair removal and are unlikely to turn darker. If a skin tag is darker in colouration then the risk of it becoming post-treatment may be more likely due to the heat generated during treatment.
Stop by for a consultation to see if laser lesion and skin tag removal is right for you.
Do skin tags grow back once removed?
Skin tags themselves have a core of fibers and tissue. After removal, skin tags do not grow back. However, if you develop other skin tags in the same place, you may be prone to having tags in that area again.
