Acrochordon, also known as skin tags, are bits of flesh-coloured or darkly pigmented tissue that project from the surrounding skin. They are a type of skin growth or tumour and are completely benign. Cosmetic Medical Clinic offers a quick and easy removal using laser technology.
At Cosmetic Medical Clinic, we use a CO2 laser to precisely and completely remove skin tags, leaving the surrounding tissue intact. Laser skin tag removal is an efficient and simple procedure. Depending on how the skin tag grows, the healing period generally takes around 5 days.

Skin tags mainly occur on areas such as the neck, armpit, groin and eyelids, and are thought to occur from skin friction, wherein the skin rubs against skin or clothing. Hormone elevations, such as those seen during pregnancy, may also cause an increase in their formation. They are generally not cancerous (malignant) and do not become cancerous if left untreated. These are essentially harmless and do not have to be treated unless they are bothersome.
There are extremely rare cases where the condition may become precancerous or cancerous. Skin tag-like bumps that bleed, grow, or display multiple colours like pink, brown, red, or black can require a biopsy to exclude other causes like skin cancer.
They may be easily removed with a scalpel or a laser-cutting device. At Cosmetic Medical Clinic, we offer non-invasive methods of removal via laser.
Except for the cosmetic appearance, these benign growths generally cause no physical pain or discomfort. However, they can cause symptoms when repeatedly irritated, for example, by the collar or in the groin.
Cosmetic skin tag removal for unsightly appearance is perhaps the most common reason they are removed. Occasionally, a tag needs to be removed due to irritation and bleeding (haemorrhage) or due to twisting and the death of skin tissue (necrosis). In both cases, the tag may become red or black.
At times, these may become snagged by clothing, jewellery, pets, or seat belts, causing pain or discomfort. Occasionally, a tag may also spontaneously fall off without any pain or discomfort. This usually occurs after a tag has twisted on itself at the stalk base, interrupting the blood flow to the area
The minimum cost for skin tag removal is $450. Please note that an estimation for this skin tag removal treatment cannot be provided via telephone or email.
