Skin Tags, also known as acrochordons, are small and soft growths which mostly occur in areas where skin rubs against clothing or skin. Factors such as genetics, obesity and diabetes increase the likelihood of growing Skin Tags.

If your skin tags are causing irritation, affecting your confidence, or simply becoming increasingly noticeable, our specialists offer effective skin tag treatment options with minimal downtime and excellent cosmetic healing.
