The Skin Tag Removal Procedure in Glasgow

Here at Elanic Medical in Glasgow, we recognise that the day of your skin tag removal procedure may be filled with a blend of anticipation and excitement. Our experienced medical professionals can remove skin tags quickly and safely, often in our office under local anesthesia. The procedure may involve freezing the skin tag with liquid nitrogen (cryotherapy), burning it off with an electric needle or probe (electrocautery), or cutting it away with a scalpel. Our skilled dermatologists may numb the area with an agent like epinephrine or lidocaine to reduce bleeding. If the skin tag is large, stitches may be needed to close the wound.
