Pigment & Skin Tag Removal
A range of treatments that remove benign skin growths and areas of unwanted pigmentation.
What is Pigment & Skin Tag Removal?
This treatment addresses benign skin growths, such as skin tags, and areas of unwanted pigmentation, such as age spots or sunspots, using techniques including cauterisation, cryotherapy (freezing), or laser treatment, selected based on the specific type and location of the growth or pigmentation. Your practitioner examines the area beforehand to confirm it is suitable for cosmetic removal and selects the most appropriate, minimally invasive technique. Most treatments are quick, in-office procedures performed under local anaesthesia or no anaesthesia at all, depending on the method used.
Why is this procedure performed?
- Skin tags causing irritation or cosmetic concern
- Age spots or areas of unwanted pigmentation
- A desire for smoother, more even-toned skin
- Growths that catch on clothing or jewellery
- A quick, effective solution for benign skin concerns

Recovery is typically minimal, with the treated area healing within one to two weeks depending on the method used.
