Skin tags are small, soft, harmless growths that hang off the skin on a thin stalk, commonly found in friction areas like the neck and armpits.
Diathermy safely treats them by using a fine probe to deliver localized heat via an electrical current, instantly cauterizing and sealing the blood supply so the tag detaches.
• Appearance: Soft, flesh-colored or slightly darker bits of skin hanging off a tiny stalk.
• Common Locations: Neck, armpits, under the breasts, groin, and eyelids.
• Causes: Friction from skin rubbing against skin or clothing, genetics, hormonal changes, and aging.
• Medical Status: Completely benign and non-cancerous, meaning removal is typically cosmetic and not funded by the NHS.
How Diathermy Treats Skin Tags Safely
• Consultation: An in person consultation is required before any bookings can be made for any lesion removal. The area treated will be carefully checked & a full medical questionnaire will be required to ensure any candidate is suitable & the lesion safe to be treated
• Numbing: A topical local anesthetic cream may be applied to minimize any heat sensation or minor discomfort by you prior to treatment if required
• Targeted Heat: diathermy uses high-frequency electrical current through a fine probe directly to the base of the tag.
• Cauterization: The heat instantly cuts off the micro-blood vessels feeding the lesion, causing the tissue to dehydrate, wither, and drop off cleanly.
• Healing: A tiny scab forms at the treated site and naturally falls off within one to two weeks, leaving clear skin with a minimal risk of scarring.
