Quickly and safely remove unwanted skin growths for smooth, clear skin.
Skin tags are small, benign growths that often appear in areas where skin rubs against skin or clothing, such as the neck, underarms, and groin. While they are harmless, they can be a source of irritation or cosmetic concern, especially when they catch on jewelry or clothing. For Indian patients, skin tags are sometimes accompanied by acanthosis nigricans (darkening of the skin), which requires a professional eye to distinguish between simple growths and underlying metabolic conditions. At Clinic7, we provide a sterile, clinical environment to remove these growths permanently and painlessly.
Why Skin Tags Form and Persist
Skin tags, or acrochordons, consist of a core of fibers, nerve cells, and fat cells covered by an epidermis. They are primarily caused by friction—either from skin-on-skin contact or tight clothing—which triggers a localized overgrowth of skin cells. Genetic predisposition, hormonal shifts during pregnancy, and metabolic factors like insulin resistance are also common drivers in the Indian population. Because these growths have a small blood supply at their base, they do not fall off on their own and require precise medical intervention to be removed without leaving a scar or causing infection.
The Clinic 7 Clinical Advantage
"Home remedies" like tying threads or using over-the-counter acids are dangerous and often lead to severe infections, scarring, or incomplete removal. Our professional intervention ensures a clean, aesthetic result through:
Instant Removal: Utilizing Radio Cautery to vaporize the skin tag in seconds, providing immediate results in a single visit.
Precision and Safety: The high-frequency radio waves seal the blood vessels instantly, ensuring a bloodless procedure with zero risk of cross-infection.
Minimal Scarring: Unlike traditional cutting or "freezing," Radio Cautery allows for microscopic precision, ensuring the surrounding Indian skin remains undamaged and heals without dark spots.

FAQs
Is the removal of skin tags painful?
We apply a high-potency topical numbing cream or a small local anesthetic before the procedure. Most patients feel absolutely nothing during the removal, while others describe only a slight tingling sensation.
Will the skin tag grow back after Radio Cautery?
Once a skin tag is removed from its base with Radio Cautery, that specific tag will not grow back. However, if you are prone to them due to friction or genetics, new ones may eventually form in other areas.
How long does the healing process take?
A small, dry crust will form at the site of removal, which typically falls off naturally within 3 to 7 days. Underneath, you will find fresh, pink skin that gradually blends into your natural skin tone.
Can I remove multiple skin tags in one session?
Yes. We can safely remove dozens of skin tags in a single session. It is a very efficient procedure, often taking only a few minutes for multiple growths.
Will there be a dark mark left on my skin after healing?
Because we use Radio Cautery—which is highly precise—the risk of Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) is very low. We also provide a post-care soothing cream to ensure the area heals perfectly with your natural skin color.
