Cautery for skin tags is a medical procedure that employs a high-frequency electrical current to safely and efficiently remove skin tags. Skin tags, often appear in areas where skin rubs against skin, such as the neck, armpits, groin or other skin folds. Cautery involves the application of controlled heat to the base of the skin tag, leading to its cauterization and subsequent removal. This process is highly precise, minimising damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Cautery for skin tags is a popular choice due to its effectiveness, minimal discomfort, and ability to provide rapid results.

What is Cautery for Tags?
Understanding Tags
Skin tags are non-cancerous growths that typically appear as small, soft, and flesh-coloured flaps of skin. While generally harmless, skin tags can be a source of discomfort or cosmetic concern for individuals, especially when they occur in visible or sensitive areas. Factors such as genetics, age, and friction contribute to the development of skin tags. Understanding the nature of these growths is essential for those considering removal options, and consulting with a dermatologist ensures a proper diagnosis and tailored treatment plan.
Skin tags can be usually removed in single sessions in most of the cases. It’s a easy and comfortable procedure, which has a minimal downtime of 3-4 days. Crusting happens after the treatment which usually falls off on its own in a couple of days time.
