Skin Tag Removal in London

Skin tags are small, benign growths of excess skin that commonly appear on the neck, underarms, groin, or even around the anus. While they’re harmless, they can become irritating or cosmetically bothersome. At Harley Street Medics in London, we specialize in safe, confidential procedures—including laser skin tag removal—to help you regain comfort and confidence.

What Are Skin Tags and Why Do They Form?

  1. Loose Collagen Fibers
    Skin tags consist of collagen and blood vessels that cluster within folds of skin. They often result from friction, where skin rubs against clothing or other skin.
  2. Hormonal Factors
    Some people notice skin tags forming or increasing in number during hormone changes, such as pregnancy.
  3. Obesity and Genetics

Being overweight or having a family history can also raise the likelihood of skin tag development.

Skin Tags vs. Warts — Key Differences

  • Cause & Composition
    A skin tag is purely an outgrowth of excess skin, whereas a wart is typically caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV).
  • Appearance
    Warts often have a rough surface or tiny black dots (clotted blood vessels), whereas skin tags hang from a stalk and have a smoother texture.
  • Treatment Approach
    Skin tag removal may involve snipping, freezing, or laser methods. Warts often respond better to cryotherapy, topical antivirals, or specialized laser treatments.
  • Contagious Factor
    Warts can spread through direct contact. In contrast, skin tags are not infectious at all.


Understanding
skin tag vs warts can help you figure out which treatment path is right for you. If you’re still unsure, our London specialists can accurately diagnose and recommend the best procedure.

Why Consider Removal?

    Tags can catch on clothing or jewelry, causing redness or bleeding.
  • Cosmetic Concerns
    Many opt for skin tag removal london to improve appearance, especially on exposed areas like the neck or face.

Although harmless, removing a tag can alleviate worries—especially if you’re unsure if it’s a mole, wart, or something else.

    • If you have multiple or larger tags, in-clinic approaches—like laser skin tag removal—might offer quicker, more definitive results.

    • A concentrated beam targets the skin tag at its base, sealing blood vessels and preventing regrowth.
    • Recovery is swift, typically requiring minimal downtime.
