Skin Tag Removal in Dublin

We may use a combination of these techniques for maximum effectiveness.

WITH THE CRYOPEN:

CryoPen skin tag removal uses a high-pressure jet of nitrous oxide to destroy unwanted skin tissue. This process can eliminate the smallest of skin imperfections. As the CryoPen can target such precise areas of skin, the surrounding tissues are left intact.

The procedure itself is straightforward. Firstly, our fully-trained practitioner selects the correct applicator of the CryoPen. They then point the CryoPen at the imperfection to be treated and freeze the blemish away. The treatment lasts a matter of seconds.

WITH ELECTROLYSIS:

The electrolysis method involves sending small waves of electricity through a tiny needle. When the needle is applied to the skin imperfection, it kills the unwanted skin cells in the target era. They will naturally generate as healthy skin cells.

WITH THE DERMABLADE:

We also use something known as shave excision to remove moles from the skin. How it works is simple. Firstly, we administer a tiny injection of aesthetic to numb the area around the mole. Then, we use a special instrument called the Dermablade to file down the mole so that it's level with the skin. After cleaning and covering the treated area, you simply wait until it has healed to see the results.

• We may also use a CO2 laser as part of the procedure to minimise the risk of scarring.

Almost everyone is suitable for our skin tag removal service in Dublin. At your initial consultation we’ll make sure it is the right treatment for you before proceeding. We'll also decide whether we need to combine different techniques for maximum effectiveness.

CRYOPEN

After the procedure, the target area of skin will start to develop a crust (scab). This will shed within 7-10 days. In this time you should be sure not to pick at the scab, as this could disrupt the healing process. Depending on the size of the treated area, you’ll usually find that the imperfection disappears within 1-4 weeks.

ELECTROLYSIS

SHAVE EXCISION

Some blemishes can be treated in a single visit, others may require multiple treatments. Skin tag removal really depends on the skin condition to be dealt with and varies on a case-by-case basis.

CryoPen cryotherapy is a virtually painless procedure. You may feel a mild sensation during the treatment, a bit like a pen being pressed against your skin. But in general there’s absolutely nothing to worry about.

Electrolysis involves a needle and a small electric current, so you're likely to feel a jolt and a prick during the procedure. However, it is not considered to be a painful procedure. If you have a low pain threshold then we'll be happy to provide you with a special numbing cream.

In the first few minutes or hours after the treatment, you may experience some mild stinging. You may also experience some redness or soreness. However, most users will feel nothing.

A few days after the treatment a scan is likely to form around the treated area. Some people may also notice that the treated area becomes darker or lighter. This is a completely normal part of the natural healing process and will only last a few days.

A single skin tag removal treatment at our Dublin clinic starts from just €90. In most cases one treatment will be enough, however some patients may require an additional treatment to fully remove the blemish.
