Skin Tag Treatment
At TMSC, skin tag removal is easy and quite common. They are surgically removed and stitches are not common. Local anesthetic is used to numb the area during the procedure, and after the initial sting of the injection, the procedure will be 100% painless. Regular activities can resume immediately after the procedure.
A tiny scab does form after the procedure, but it gradually lifts off; what’s remaining is a pink mark which eventually fades to a tiny white mark that is barely visible to the naked eye. The same is true for most large skin tags, due to their narrow base.
Our surgeons are highly trained and experienced professionals who care deeply about their patients. Rest assured all of our procedures are carried out with the utmost care, precision, regard for aesthetics, and in a safe environment.
