WART REMOVAL Somerset

When you arrive for your treatment at our Somerset Wart Removal Clinic, you’ll be clinically assessed by one of our nurses. Almost all tags can be removed. After assessment, our nurse will apply nitrous oxide to the treatment area with a precision tool that looks like a pen. Nitrous oxide – also known as N20, is very cold and it freezes the skin tag stalk. This stops the flow of blood to the tag and effectively kills the tag.

While the pen does not penetrate the skin, you’ll feel a sensation like having the nib of a ballpoint pen touch your skin. During the application, your nurse might decide to apply the device more than once. This is down to the size of the tag. While tags can usually be dealt within one treatment session, some tags might need to be treated in a follow-up treatment.

Following cryotherapy, you might get a tingling feeling in the treatment area. Cryotherapy is not a painful procedure, but you can experience a slight stinging during the day of treatment. 

In the days after your treatment, you’ll see the skin tag changes colour, darkening. It may feel like it’s drying out and crusting. This shows that your skin tag is dying. A few days post-treatment, the tag will fall off totally. You might see a small mark where the tag has dropped off, but this mark will go in time. Once healed, you can resume your usual skincare routine.

For any questions or queries about the treatment or about your skin tags, please contact our nurses at the Somerset Skin Tag Removal Clinic.

Skin tag removal is a safe and simple procedure that is undertaken here, at our Clinic, by our nurse-led team of clinicians.

Some people are more prone to skin tags than others, however it is not clear why this might be the case. You may opt to have more than one skin tag removed at a time. Skin tags may sometimes look like warts; however, they are neither contagious and they will not grow back once removed.

Our preferred option – and the most convenient for our clients – is to have skin tags removed via freezing. This process is known as cryotherapy. Skin tags can also be removed by cutting them off or burning them off, however at our clinic, we prefer to use cryotherapy.
