Skin tags are common skin growths, usually harmless, that form primarily in areas where the skin forms creases (like the neck, armpit and groin).
They are typically painless and do not change overtime, but can get irritated and be an unappealing sight. Some individuals may have as many as 50 – 100 skin tags.
They tend to be small, less than half an inch in diameter, and flesh-coloured.
Most have a thin stalk, and look like little pieces of soft, hanging skin.
Skin tags are believed to occur due to the skin rubbing up against the skin. They are also more common in people who are overweight, have diabetes, or pregnant.

How do the lasers work?
The computer-operated laser beam is targeted at the area to be treated and will evaporate unwanted tissue in very thin layers. The healing process is fast and further treatments or check-ups are usually not necessary.
Where can the lasers be used?
Because they are gentle, they can be used on any part of the body including the face or genitalia.
Is any downtime required?
Minimum downtime can be expected. Any swelling typically subsides within a day, and most redness dissipates within a few days.
