Skin tag removal is simple, safe, and effective. At our Hamilton and Stoney Creek skin clinic, our experienced doctors use precise techniques that minimize discomfort and scarring.
Skin tags are small, soft, benign growths of skin that commonly develop in areas where skin rubs against skin or clothing—such as the neck, underarms, eyelids, or groin. While skin tags are harmless and not cancerous, many people choose to have them removed if they become irritated, catch on jewelry or clothing, or cause cosmetic concerns.
At Skinnova, we provide safe and effective skin tag removal performed by experienced doctors and specialists. We use techniques designed to minimize discomfort and scarring, leaving your skin smoother and you feeling better.
If the skin tag is causing you cosmetic or aesthetic concerns.
If the tag becomes irritated, red, or painful from friction.
If it frequently gets caught on clothing or jewelry.
Because skin tags are not cancerous or dangerous to your health, their removal is not an OHIP-covered service.
If you are unsure whether a growth is truly a skin tag or another type of lesion, we recommend seeing your primary care provider who can provide a diagnosis or refer you to our clinic for a diagnosis and possible treatment.
Skin tags are harmless but can be bothersome or affect your confidence especially in visible areas. Professional skin tag removal is quick, gentle, and safe, helping you achieve smoother, clearer skin. You don’t have to live with irritation or discomfort when effective treatment is just a visit away.
No, the procedure is typically very comfortable. If needed, local anesthesia or a numbing cream is used, and most patients feel only a slight pinch or a brief burning sensation during removal.
Skin tag removal is a quick, in office procedure that usually takes just a few minutes, depending on the number, size and location of the tags being removed.
Once a skin tag is removed, it won’t grow back in the same spot. However, new ones can form over time, especially in areas prone to friction or irritation such as skin folds.
You may notice mild redness or tenderness at the treated area, which typically resolves within a few days. Keeping the area clean and following aftercare instructions helps ensure smooth healing and minimal to no visible scarring.
