Why Get the Flu Vaccine?

- Reduce Your Risk: By getting vaccinated, you lower your chances of contracting the flu and its complications.
- Protect Others: Vaccination not only protects you but also helps reduce the spread of the flu virus to those around you.
- Prevent Severe Illness: Even if you do contract the flu after vaccination, it’s likely to be milder and shorter in duration.

The flu vaccine is recommended for everyone, but it’s particularly important for:
- People aged 65 and over
- Pregnant women
- Individuals with chronic health conditions such as asthma, diabetes, or heart disease

Skin Tag Treatment Options
At Skin Surgeons, we offer three skin tag removal options tailored to meet the unique needs of our patients and strive for both optimal medical outcomes and aesthetic excellence.
-
Cryotherapy
This method involves using liquid nitrogen to freeze the skin tag. It's a swift and effective technique, particularly for smaller skin tags. The frozen tissue typically falls off within a week or two after the treatment.
-
Surgical Excision
Our surgeon can remove larger or more complex skin tags using a scalpel or surgical scissors. This method offers immediate results and is usually carried out with local anaesthesia.
-
Electrosurgery
This procedure employs an electric current to burn off the skin tag. It's an efficient way to remove skin tags with minimal bleeding, making it ideal for tags with a stalk-like appearance.
A professional assessment ensures the most appropriate treatment approach for skin tags, focusing on cosmetic excellence and minimal scarring. Our specialists at Skin Surgeons provide a comfortable experience with comprehensive aftercare advice for quick healing and optimal outcomes. Whether removing a single skin tag or multiple lesions, we are dedicated to offering the highest standard of care, with a patient-centred approach that prioritises your comfort and satisfaction.
FAQ: Skin Tag Removal
Skin tag removal is a medical procedure aimed at eliminating small, benign growths that often appear in areas where skin rubs against skin or clothing. At Skin Surgeons, we offer safe and effective options for removing skin tags, including surgical excision and cryotherapy.
If your skin tag causes discomfort, irritation, or if you’re unhappy with its appearance, it’s advisable to consult with our specialists. Removal may be recommended for cosmetic reasons or if the tag is prone to snagging on clothing or jewellery, which can cause pain or bleeding.
When performed by a qualified healthcare professional, skin tag removal is safe and carries minimal risks. Our team adheres to strict hygiene standards to prevent infection and provides thorough aftercare instructions to support proper healing.
Although it’s difficult to prevent skin tags entirely due to factors like genetics and friction, maintaining a healthy weight, managing conditions such as diabetes, and following a skin-friendly diet may reduce their occurrence. Our specialists can provide personalized advice based on your individual health profile.
While various natural remedies are suggested online, our specialists at Skin Surgeons recommend professional removal to avoid potential risks like scarring and infection. We focus on evidence-based treatments to ensure safety and effectiveness.
The duration of the removal process varies depending on the method and the number of skin tags. Procedures such as cryotherapy and laser removal are typically quick, often taking just minutes, while surgical removal may take longer, especially if local anaesthesia is used.
Recovery times vary by the removal method used. Minor procedures like cryotherapy generally require no downtime, whereas surgical removal may necessitate a few days of care. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions, including how to clean the area and what signs of infection to watch for.
To schedule a consultation, visit our Contact Us page or feel free to use our 'Book Consultation' feature. We aim to provide a seamless and safe experience from consultation through to recovery.
The cost for removing up to three skin tags is £695.
