Benefits of Anal Skin Tag Removal in Santa Monica
Self-Confidence
While skin tags are harmless, they can make us feel less confident in our skin or even in the bedroom.
Improved Hygiene
Anal skin tags can impede upon personal hygiene—especially when there’s no access to a bidet.
Eliminates Pain
Say goodbye to painful swelling and bleeding from friction cause by toilet paper and certain types of fabric.
Consultation
Our process begins with a consultation with one of our licensed Younique providers. During this meeting, we discuss your concerns, medical history, and goals for surgery. If we determine that anal skin tag removal in Santa Monica is a perfect fit for you, we can schedule your surgery.
Procedure
We begin your anal skin tag removal procedure by cleaning the treatment area and inspecting the skin tags. We apply a local anesthetic on the target area to ensure your comfort.
Recovery
After surgery, you may experience pain and discomfort until the wound heals. Your Younique provider will prescribe medication to help with pain and prevent infections. Furthermore, to reduce future anal skin tags from developing, we advise maintaining a healthy diet to avoid constipation. This diet can include increased fiber intake or digestive aid if necessary. When cleansing after defecation, use gentler toilet paper or bathroom wipes, and consider investing in a bidet-style toilet or attachment.

Why do some people get anal skin tags?
Anal tags are small skin growths that feel like bumps and appear as raised skin. They start small and can become more prominent as time passes. Repeated abrasions from cleaning or skin rubbing against them can cause growth. Conditions like anal fissures or clotted hemorrhoids may also contribute to growth. They appear as excess skin created from scar tissue.
Skin tags grow where friction between the skin occurs. They’re more common in overweight people, older adults, and people with type 2 diabetes.
Genetics can also factor into the development of skin tags.
Which treatments does Younique use for anal skin tag removal?
Because of the functional requirements of the treatment area, we employ 3 different techniques for skin tag removal and wound treatment:
- Excision: We cut off the skin tag using a scalp or special tool.
- Hyfrecation: A specialized electrode burns off the skin tag.
- Fractioned CO2 Laser: A resurfacing technique that creates a smooth surface after healing.
