Treatment Snapshot
What to Expect
During Treatment
The procedure begins with the application of a topical or injectable anesthetic to ensure comfort. Once the area is numbed, the practitioner removes the skin tag using appropriate techniques. The entire process typically takes between 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the number & size of skin tags being treated.
Recovery Phase
Post-treatment, patients may experience mild swelling or bruising in the treated area, which usually subsides within 7 to 14 days. Proper aftercare instructions will be provided to ensure optimal healing & minimize any potential for scarring.
For Optimal Results
While the removal of existing skin tags is permanent, new skin tags can develop over time. Regular skin evaluations & prompt treatment of new growths can help maintain smooth, tag-free skin. It’s also advisable to minimize friction in areas prone to skin tags to reduce the likelihood of new formations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes skin tags to develop?
Skin tags, also known as acrochordons, are small, benign growths that commonly form in areas where skin experiences frequent friction, such as the neck, underarms, groin, eyelids, or under the breasts. They’re often associated with age, genetics, weight gain, hormonal changes (such as pregnancy), & conditions like diabetes. While not dangerous, skin tags can become bothersome if they catch on clothing or jewelry, or if they multiply in noticeable areas.
Are skin tags harmful or a sign of something more serious?
In most cases, skin tags are completely harmless & non-cancerous, posing no risk to your health. However, it’s important to have any new or changing skin growth evaluated by a professional to rule out more serious conditions. At Lucere, your treatment will begin with a dermatologist-led consultation to ensure the lesion is a skin tag & not something requiring further medical attention.
Will skin tags grow back after removal?
Once a skin tag is professionally removed, it will not grow back in the same spot. However, new skin tags can form over time, particularly in high-friction areas or if the underlying risk factors (like weight gain or skin irritation) remain present. Our team can provide preventive advice to reduce your chances of developing new ones, such as managing friction & maintaining a consistent skincare routine.
Is the removal procedure painful?
Most clients report minimal to no discomfort during the procedure. A topical or injectable anesthetic is applied beforehand to numb the area & ensure your comfort throughout the treatment. Depending on the size & location of the skin tag, removal may involve a precise snip, cautery (gentle heat), or laser technique. These methods are all quick & gentle, & the experience is typically painless or only mildly uncomfortable.
How long does the skin tag removal take?
The procedure is quick & efficient, typically lasting 15 to 60 minutes depending on the number & size of the skin tags being treated. Most clients are in & out of the clinic in under an hour, making it a convenient option to fit into a busy schedule.
What is the recovery time after skin tag removal?
Recovery is usually straightforward. You may notice minor redness, swelling, or a scab at the treatment site, which typically heals within 7 to 14 days. It’s important to follow the aftercare instructions provided, such as keeping the area clean, dry, & protected from sun exposure—to prevent infection & support optimal healing. Most clients return to work or daily routines immediately after treatment.
