Skin tag removal in Horsham — Razor2Laser blog post
“It’s just a skin tag. It’s not a big deal. I keep meaning to do something about it.”
Most people have been saying that for years. Skin tags are so common and the majority are harmless, which is why it’s easy to keep bumping them down the list. Until it snags on a necklace again. Or you see yourself in a photo. Or you simply get tired of being aware of it.
The good news: skin tag removal is one of the quickest, most straightforward treatments we offer at our Horsham clinic. One appointment. No GP referral. Done.
What is a skin tag?
A skin tag is a small, soft growth of skin — usually attached by a thin stalk — that forms where skin rubs against skin. They can be skin-coloured or slightly darker, a few millimetres or up to several centimetres wide, and they affect men and women of all ages equally.
They’re most commonly found on the neck, armpits, groin and eyelids — anywhere the skin folds or creases. They’re completely harmless. But harmless doesn’t mean you have to keep them.
Your questions answered
Do I need a consultation first?
Yes — and it’s worth it. Your consultation gives Mina the chance to properly assess the lesion, confirm it’s a skin tag, and make sure the treatment is right for your skin. It also means no surprises on the day. Consultations are £25.
Do I need to see my GP first?
No. This is a minor procedure and no GP referral is needed. You can book directly with us.
Does it hurt?
Most clients describe a mild stinging sensation during treatment. It’s brief, and far less uncomfortable than most people anticipate.
How many appointments will I need?
For most clients, a single treatment session is enough. If you have multiple tags or a larger lesion, Mina will discuss the likely number of sessions at your consultation.
Is it suitable for skin tags on the face or eyelids?
Yes. Mina treats skin tags across all areas of the face and body, including around the eyelids — one of the most common and most self-conscious-making locations. Precision is especially important in these areas, which is why having a trained medical professional matters.
