What are skin tags?

Skin tags are small soft flesh-coloured growths that commonly appear in areas where skin rubs together.

They often occur on:

  • Neck

  • Underarms

  • Eyelids

  • Groin

  • Under the breasts

Skin tags are generally harmless but may become irritated or cosmetically bothersome.

What is sebaceous hyperplasia?

Sebaceous hyperplasia appears as small yellowish or flesh-coloured bumps caused by enlarged oil glands.

They commonly occur on:

  • Forehead

  • Nose

  • Cheeks

These lesions are benign but can resemble acne or other skin conditions.

How does treatment work?

Advanced cosmetic lesion removal technologies are used to precisely target the unwanted lesion while helping minimise damage to surrounding skin.

Depending on the lesion type, treatment may involve:

  • Controlled laser energy

  • Thermal coagulation

  • Precise superficial skin removal techniques

The lesion gradually shrinks, crusts or resolves as the skin heals naturally.
