Skin Tag and Mole Removal

Suggestive of its name, Skin tag/mole removal is a treatment aimed at producing a more even surface of the skin, by removing a lump or bump in the form of a skin tag or a mole.

A skin tag is a fleshy piece of tissue that protrudes from the skin, and can often be thought of as unattractive by the affected person.

While usually harmless, skin tags can be considered of as irritating, particularly when in an area where it can catch on clothing or jewellery such as the underarms or around the neck. Enlarger skin tags (papillomas) can reach 5 mm or more, but fortunately, most are only about 2-3 mm in size. 

A mole is also a lesion found on the skin’s surface. Moles are usually round, brown and flat, although it is not uncommon for some moles to be a little raised. A mole may be harmless, but if they become asymmetric in shape, colour, size, and texture or irregular in the border, it is advisable to seek a medical investigation. Clients often want to be rid of them, mainly when found on visible areas such as the face, eyelids, neck, and groin.
