What Is Skin Tag?
A skin tag is a small, soft, skin-coloured growth on your skin. It can vary in colour, appearance, and size—from a few millimetres to 5cm wide.
They say skin tags are usually found on the neck, armpits, around the groin, or under the breasts. Skin tags can also grow on the eyelids or under the folds of the buttocks, where the edges of clothing can irritate the skin from a build-up of collagen and vessels.

They can look like warts, but they are usually:
- smooth and soft (warts tend to be rougher with an irregular surface)
- knobbly and hang off the skin (warts are usually slightly raised or flat)
- not contagious (warts spread very quickly, so a sudden outbreak or cluster of growths is more likely to be warts)
- Do not usually cause any pain or discomfort.
Skin tags can be confused with other skin lesions, such as senile warts, which are also common in older individuals.

Why Do Skin Tags Occur?
Both men and women can develop skin tags. Some develop them for no apparent reason, but they tend to occur in older people, obese people, and people with type 2 diabetes. Pregnant women may also be more likely to develop skin tags due to changes in their everyday skin and hormone levels.
Other skin lesions, such as moles and senile warts, can also occur due to various factors. Advanced techniques can also help patients treat different skin conditions like acne scarring.
Skin tags tend to form and grow in the skin folds, where the skin rubs against itself, such as on the neck, armpits or groin. This is why they tend to affect overweight people with excess skin folds and
Skin Tag Removal
Skin tag removal can easily be burnt or frozen off, similar to removing warts in the clinic. It is essential to rule out skin cancer before removing the skin tag. They can also be surgically removed, sometimes using local anaesthetic before the procedure to minimise discomfort. A numbing cream can also be applied to prepare the skin for painless skin tag removal. But there is a risk of minor bleeding. Freezing or burning skin tags can cause mild irritation and temporary skin discolour.
Why Use Cryotherapy For Skin Tag Removal?
Cryotherapy is a safe, effective, and painless way to remove skin tags. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and quick recovery after cryotherapy. Unlike other methods, such as surgical tag removal or cauterisation, cryotherapy does not require any cutting or burning of the skin. The procedure is also faster than other methods, with most skin tags removed in a single treatment. The treatment is also less likely to leave severe scarring behind than other methods.
Removing Skin Tag With CryoPen Treatment
The CryoPen offers pinpoint accuracy and flexible laser treatment, lasting only a few seconds. The advanced cryotherapy laser device delivers an ultra-cold jet of high-pressured N2O directly onto skin lesions.
Cryopen is a precise, quick and painless treatment suitable for the removal and healing of aesthetic lesions such as;
- Pigmented spots
- Solar lentigo
- Skin tags
- Haemangioma
- Seborrheic Keratosis
Cryotherapy treatments can be applied to small, unwanted, benign aesthetic or medical lesions of the face or body.
Cryotherapy is a process that rapidly freezes skin tissue to safely treat lesions on the face and body, including smaller delicate areas surrounding the skin.

It is quick and effective, does not require anaesthesia (minimal discomfort to treated guests), and is low-risk (controlled temperature means minimal to no side effects). Taking care of the treated area is essential to avoid potential risks such as hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation.
