At Binsina Skin & Laser Clinic, skin tags are usually removed using cauterisation, or cryotherapy (CryoPen). These non-invasive methods precisely target skin tags, heating or freezing the unwanted skin growth and removing them effectively, aiming to restore smooth, clear skin with minimal discomfort and scarring.
The procedure begins with a consultation to assess the size, location, and type of skin tag. For skin tag removal, our clinic primarily uses cauterisation, a precise and effective method that uses heat to remove the growth. Cauterisation works by applying an electrically charged probe to the base of the skin tag, generating heat that destroys the cells and causes the skin tag to naturally detach. The heat also seals the surrounding tissue, minimising bleeding and reducing the risk of infection. The procedure is quick, typically lasting just a few minutes, and local anaesthesia is used to ensure comfort during the treatment. Cryotherapy is another effective option, which involves freezing the skin tag with liquid nitrogen. Both treatments provide a controlled and precise removal method, ensuring minimal downtime and optimal results.

Is Skin Tag Removal right for you?
Skin tag removal at Binsina Skin & Laser Clinic using cauterisation or cryotherapy provides effective, long-lasting results. After treatment, the skin tag may darken and form a crust before detaching naturally within 1-2 weeks.
The surrounding skin heals gradually, becoming smooth and clear in the following weeks. Most skin tags are fully removed in a single session, though larger or multiple tags may require follow-up treatments. Final results are typically visible within a month. Once removed, skin tags usually do not return in the same spot, although new ones may appear elsewhere over time. Proper skincare post-treatment is essential to maintain clear, healthy skin and enhance the healing process.
FAQs
Is skin tag removal with cauterisation safe?
Cauterisation is a safe and effective method for removing skin tags. It uses controlled heat to remove the skin tag and seal the surrounding tissue, minimising the risk of bleeding or infection. The procedure is performed by our trained professionals and is suitable for all skin types, with minimal risk of complications.
Is the treatment painful?
Cauterisation is generally well-tolerated. Local anaesthesia is applied to ensure comfort, and while you may feel mild warmth or a brief sensation during the procedure, it is not painful for most patients.
Is there any aftercare?
After cauterisation, keep the treated area clean and dry to avoid infection. Avoid picking at any scabs, and protect the skin with sunscreen to prevent irritation and promote healing. We may recommend follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing and optimal results.
