The Skin Tag Removal Process at MedBeautyLA

Skin Tag Removal FAQs

Does Skin Tag Removal Hurt?

Skin tag removal with a hyfrecator is an extremely comfortable procedure. Clients can opt to receive a topical numbing cream prior to treatment, but many do not require it.

Removing Skin Tags At Home: Should I Try It?

We do not recommend at-home skin tag removal. Home remedies can lead to permanent scarring and/or skin discoloration, which is why we always advise seeking treatment from a professional.

Additionally, a certified medical provider will be able to properly assess the skin tag and ensure that it is not something potentially more serious, like basil cell carcinoma.

What Causes Skin Tags?

Skin tags are usually genetic — meaning you’re likely not the only person in your family to have them. You are also more likely to develop skin tags if you have diabetes or are pregnant.

Are Skin Tags Contagious?

No — skin tags are not contagious, so there is no need to be concerned. However, many people find skin tags in the armpits and eyelids uncomfortable, so there is a practical reason for removal in addition to an aesthetic concern.

Do Skin Tags Grow Back?

In most cases, a skin tag will not grow back once removed. Others might develop in different areas, and you can assess if you want additional removals at that time.
