What is Skin Tag Removal?
Skin tag removal is a medical procedure that removes acrochordons—small, soft pieces of skin that may hang from a thin stalk. These benign, non-cancerous growths are typically found in areas where skin rubs against skin or clothing.

- Aesthetic Enhancement: Removal of skin tags can lead to smoother, clearer skin.
- Reduced Discomfort: Eliminates irritation from friction with clothing or skin.
- Quick Procedures: Most treatments are fast, with minimal downtime.
- High Safety Profile: Performed by experienced practitioners with minimal risks.
