Skin Tag Removal at Dr. Kiran Puttaramaiah’s Skin & Hair Transplant Clinic

Skin tags are small, soft, benign growths that often appear on areas of the body where the skin folds, such as the neck, underarms, eyelids, and groin. While they are medically harmless, many people choose to remove them for cosmetic reasons or if they cause irritation due to friction with clothing or jewellery. At Dr. Kiran Puttaramaiah’s Skin & Hair Transplant Clinic, we offer safe, effective, and painless skin tag removal treatments tailored to your skin type and comfort.

Understanding Skin Tags

Skin tags, medically known as acrochordons, are made up of loose collagen fibres and blood vessels surrounded by skin. They are extremely common and can occur in both men and women, often as a result of skin friction, hormonal changes, obesity, or genetic predisposition. While they do not pose any health risks, they can sometimes become irritated, inflamed, or cosmetically bothersome.

Why Remove Skin Tags?

Although skin tags are not dangerous, their removal can significantly improve appearance and comfort. Many patients opt for skin tag removal when they:

• Feel self-conscious about visible tags on the face, neck, or other exposed areas

• Experience irritation due to friction from clothing, shaving, or jewellery

• Have multiple tags caused by hormonal fluctuations or metabolic conditions

• Want a smoother, more even skin texture

Advanced Skin Tag Removal Options

At our clinic, we use advanced dermatological techniques to ensure minimal discomfort, quick healing, and excellent cosmetic results. Treatment methods include:

1. Radiofrequency (RF) Cauterization – Uses controlled heat energy to precisely remove the skin tag without affecting surrounding skin.

2. Laser Removal – A high-intensity light beam targets the tag, vaporizing it with minimal discomfort and virtually no scarring.

3. Cryotherapy – Involves freezing the tag with liquid nitrogen, causing it to fall off naturally within a few days.

4. Surgical Excision – A quick, minor procedure performed under local anaesthesia for larger tags.

The choice of method depends on the size, location, and number of skin tags, as well as patient preference.
