Skin Tag Removal
A dermatological procedure used to eliminate (acrochordons) benign skin growths known as skin tags.
About Skin Tag Removal
Skin tags are harmless, but that does not mean you have to keep them. Yoyime’s skin tag removal is a quick, minimally invasive dermatological procedure that eliminates these benign growths safely and effectively. Depending on its type, size and location, the skin tags are treated using cryotherapy, excision, electrocautery or controlled CO2 laser therapy. Local anesthesia or numbing is applied for maximum comfort and our dermatologists ensure that the end result will be a clean removal with minimal impact on surrounding skin.

Tools and Equipment for Skin Tag Removal
Step-By-Step Procedure
Consultation & Skin Evaluation
Personalized consultation is performed where the dermatologist examines the skin tag, reviews medical history and identifies size, type and location to select the most suitable technique.
Skin Cleansing & Anaesthesia
Preparation begins with cleansing the treatment area using an antiseptic solution and a topical or local anaesthetic is applied to ensure a painless procedure and minimise discomfort.
Treatment Planning & Method Selection
The doctor confirms the most suitable technique based on the lesion, choosing CO2 Fractional Laser, Cryotherapy (liquid nitrogen freezing), Electrocautery/Cauterization, Radiofrequency or Minor Surgical Excision.
Precise Removal Procedure
The skin tag is removed using any of the following methods: * CO2 laser vaporises tissue using a concentrated beam of carbon dioxide. * Cryotherapy freezes and destroys the tissue. * Radiofrequency uses high-frequency electrical currents to heat the tags. * Electrocautery burns it using electrical current. * Excision removes it using sterile scissors or a scalpel.
Immediate Post-Treatment Care
A soothing ointment or dressing may be applied to calm the area and support early healing while reducing irritation.
Healing & Recovery Phase
Mild redness, tenderness or small scabbing may occur, with healing typically within a few days up to 7–14 days depending on the method used.
Aftercare Instructions
The treated area should be kept clean and dry, avoid excessive touching, sun exposure and harsh products and use prescribed ointments if advised to support proper healing and reduce risk of infection or irritation.

No. Skin tag removal is generally painless because a topical or local anaesthetic is applied before treatment to keep the area comfortable throughout the procedure.
Most procedures take between 15 and 40 minutes, depending on the number, size and location of the skin tags being treated.
Your dermatologist will examine the size, thickness, location and characteristics of the skin tag, along with your medical history, before recommending the most suitable treatment such as cryotherapy, laser removal, cauterization or excision.
Keep the treatment area clean and avoid applying lotions, creams, make-up or other skincare products on the day of treatment. Stay hydrated, avoid excessive sun exposure and inform your doctor about any medications, allergies, bleeding disorders or medical conditions.
The area is cleansed and disinfected, a topical or local anaesthetic is applied if needed and the selected removal method is performed. An ointment or dressing may then be applied to protect the treated area.
Yes. Skin tag removal is considered a safe procedure when performed by our experienced dermatologist using appropriate medical techniques and sterile equipment.
Possible side effects include mild redness, temporary swelling, slight tenderness, minor scabbing or temporary changes in skin pigmentation. These effects are usually short-lived and resolve during healing.
Not recommended in the following conditions: * Pregnancy and breastfeeding (consult with doctor) * Active skin conditions (infections, eczema, psoriasis, etc.) * Allergy to cryogenic agents or treatment materials * Severe circulation problems (Raynaud’s disease, peripheral vascular disease) * Weakened immune system or immune-suppressing medication * Reduced sensation or numbness in the treatment area * Suspicious or possible cancerous skin lesions * Active skin infections at the treatment site * Skin lesions needing further medical examination before removal
Most removal methods result in minimal to no scarring. However, larger skin tags removed through excision may leave a small scar that typically fades over time.
The risk of infection is very low when the procedure is performed under sterile conditions and aftercare instructions are followed correctly.
Most skin tags can be removed in a single session. Additional sessions may be required if multiple skin tags are present or if a particular lesion requires further treatment.
Keep the treated area clean and dry, avoid rubbing or scratching it, follow your dermatologist’s instructions and apply any prescribed creams or ointments as directed.
Make-up and skincare products can usually be resumed after 24 to 48 hours, provided the treated area is healing normally and your doctor has not advised otherwise.
Yes. Direct sun exposure should be avoided until the treated area has healed. Sun protection may help support smoother healing and reduce the risk of pigmentation changes.
A completely removed skin tag usually does not return. However, new skin tags may develop in nearby areas over time.
Most patients can return to normal daily activities immediately after treatment. Recovery is generally straightforward with minimal disruption.
Initial healing usually occurs within a few days, while complete healing commonly takes around 7 to 14 days depending on the removal method and size of the treated area.
Yes. Larger skin tags can be removed safely, often using excision or another method selected by the dermatologist based on the size and location of the lesion.
