Skin tags are common, harmless growths on the skin that can appear on the neck, underarms, eyelids, groin, breasts, or other areas where skin rubs against skin or clothing. While they usually do not cause pain or medical problems, many people choose to remove them for cosmetic reasons, comfort, or hygiene.
At Nyra Clinic, Pune, we offer advanced, minimally invasive skin tag removal using modern radiofrequency (RF) technology, ensuring safe results, minimal discomfort, and excellent cosmetic outcomes.
Skin tags (medically called acrochordons) are small, soft, flesh-colored or slightly darker growths attached to the skin by a thin stalk. They are non-cancerous and extremely common in adults.
Common causes and risk factors include:
- Friction between skin folds
- Obesity or weight gain
- Hormonal changes (pregnancy, PCOS)
- Diabetes and insulin resistance
- Genetic tendency
- Aging
Although skin tags are benign, they may become irritated, bleed due to friction, or affect appearance—especially when present on visible areas like the face or neck.
What is RF (Radiofrequency) Skin Tag Removal?
RF skin tag removal uses high-frequency radio waves to generate controlled heat that precisely removes the skin tag at its base. This technique seals small blood vessels during removal, making it a bloodless and highly accurate procedure.
At Nyra Clinic, RF technology is performed by an experienced dermatologist to ensure safety, precision, and minimal scarring.
Benefits of RF Skin Tag Removal:
- Minimally invasive and quick procedure
- Virtually painless
- No stitches required
- Minimal bleeding
- Low risk of infection
- Faster healing
- Excellent cosmetic results
The procedure is virtually painless. A topical numbing cream or local anesthetic is applied before the treatment to ensure complete comfort. Most patients feel only mild warmth or pressure during the procedure.
The treated skin tag will not regrow once it has been completely removed. However, new skin tags may develop in other areas over time, especially if underlying risk factors such as friction, hormonal imbalance, or metabolic conditions persist.
Post-care is simple and easy to follow:
- Keep the treated area clean and dry
- Avoid scratching or rubbing the area
- Avoid direct sun exposure on the treated site
- Apply prescribed ointments as advised by the doctor
- Do not self-remove scabs; allow natural healing
Healing usually occurs within a few days, depending on the size and location of the skin tag.
Is skin tag removal safe?
Yes. When performed by a qualified dermatologist using RF technology, skin tag removal is extremely safe with minimal risk of complications.
How long does the procedure take?
Most skin tag removal procedures take 10–20 minutes, depending on the number and size of skin tags.
Will there be scars after skin tag removal?
RF removal minimizes tissue damage, so scarring is rare, especially when proper post-care is followed.
Can multiple skin tags be removed in one session?
Yes. Multiple skin tags can be safely removed in a single sitting.
Is skin tag removal necessary medically?
Skin tags are usually harmless and do not require medical treatment. Removal is typically done for cosmetic reasons, irritation, or discomfort.
Can I remove skin tags at home?
Home remedies and self-removal are not recommended as they can lead to infection, bleeding, or scarring. Professional removal by a dermatologist is the safest option.
