SKIN TAG REMOVAL IN MORPETH
Simple. Precise. Considered.
Skin tags are small, soft, harmless growths that protrude from the surface of the skin. They are particularly common in areas where skin rubs against skin or clothing, including the neck, eyelids, armpits and groin.
Although skin tags are generally harmless, they can become irritated, catch on clothing or jewellery, or simply be something you’d prefer to have removed.
Removing skin tags
At SG Aesthetics, suitable skin tags can be removed using a simple minor procedure. Depending on the size, location and characteristics of the skin tag, this may involve carefully cutting it away or using heat to remove it.
A local anaesthetic can be used to numb the area before treatment, helping to make the procedure as comfortable as possible.
Before removal, the skin tag will be assessed to ensure that treatment is appropriate. Any lesion that appears unusual or has changed in appearance should be medically assessed rather than assumed to be a skin tag.
What to expect
Following removal, the treated area may be red, tender or slightly swollen. A small scab may form as the skin heals, and aftercare advice will be provided to support straightforward healing.
The time taken for the area to heal depends on the size and location of the skin tag and the method used for removal.
A considered approach
With her background as a Registered Nurse and Independent Nurse Prescriber, Sarah takes a careful and considered approach to minor skin procedures. Every treatment begins with an assessment of the area to establish whether removal is appropriate and to discuss the most suitable method.
The aim is simple, precise removal with appropriate care before, during and after treatment.
Supporting your results at home
At SG Aesthetics, we believe that good skin health extends beyond in-clinic treatments. A personalised homecare routine using Obagi Medical® skincare may be recommended alongside your treatment to support your results and help maintain healthy-looking skin over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
A local anaesthetic is used to numb the area before removal, making the procedure more comfortable. You may experience some tenderness or sensitivity afterwards while the area heals.
Healing time varies according to the size and location of the skin tag and the method used. A small scab or area of redness may be present for several days as the skin repairs itself.
Not necessarily. The area will be assessed before treatment to make sure that removal is appropriate. If a growth appears unusual or there is any uncertainty about its nature, further medical assessment may be recommended.
