Skin Tag Removal in Leicester
Smooth Skin, Confident You – Professional Skin Tag Removal at The Health Suite Leicester.
The Health Suite Leicester offers professional skin tag removal services, providing both excision and cryotherapy treatments. Excision involves the careful removal of the skin tag under local anaesthetic, leaving minimal scarring. Cryotherapy uses liquid nitrogen to freeze the skin tag, causing it to fall off naturally. Consultations are available with GPs or consultant dermatologists in The Health Suite Leicester, who assess the skin tag and recommend the most appropriate treatment. Skin Tag Removal involves the safe and professional removal of benign, small, and often harmless growths of skin called skin tags, using various methods such as cutting, freezing, or cauterisation.
At The Health Suite Leicester, we provide the following tag removal techniques:
- Excision Removal: This painless treatment is performed under local anaesthetic. The skin tag is meticulously excised using a scalpel, eliminating it and leaving only a small, white or pink scar in its place. This procedure is solely performed by our consultant dermatologist.
- Cryotherapy: In this method, the skin tag is frozen using liquid Nitrogen. The cold temperature destroys the cells within the skin tag, cuts off the blood supply, and allows the skin tag to naturally fall off. This technique is also utilised for wart and verruca removal. This is performed by our GPs, skin specialist nurses and consultant dermatologists in The Health Suite Leicester.
Clinical skin tag removal provides several benefits, especially for people who feel discomfort or have cosmetic concerns about these harmless growths. One of the main benefits is quick removal with little recovery time, which helps restore the skin’s smooth look. Clinical procedures are usually more accurate and effective than home treatments, ensuring the skin tag is fully removed and lowering the chance of it coming back. Additionally, professional skin tag removal can stop irritation caused by rubbing from clothes, jewellery, or shaving, which often leads to swelling or infection in the skin tag area.
Skin tag removal is important for both aesthetic and health reasons. Aesthetically, skin tags can be bothersome when they appear in visible areas like the face, neck, or underarms, causing self-consciousness or discomfort. For some, removing them helps improve confidence and comfort. From a health perspective, while skin tags are generally benign, they can sometimes become irritated or infected, especially if they rub against clothing or jewellery. Removing skin tags reduces the risk of these complications. Additionally, in some cases, skin tags can be mistaken for other skin conditions that may require medical attention, so having them removed or evaluated ensures that any underlying issues are addressed.

Changes in a growth’s size or look may need expert review to confirm it’s a benign skin tag and discuss safe removal.

Cosmetic concerns are a common reason patients choose removal to improve their appearance and feel more confident.
Have you noticed bleeding, itching or inflammation around a skin tag?
Irritated skin tags that bleed, itch or inflame may benefit from assessment and removal to prevent further issues.
