Self-Confidence
Ditch the distraction. When skin tags disappear, your confidence shows up and shines through.
Better Health
Removing skin tags means fewer chances of accidental snags, infections, or soreness from daily movement.
Quick & Easy
Most removals take just 15 minutes. No long waits. No stitches. Just simple, effective care.
Consultation
You won’t get a rushed visit or a one-size-fits-all approach. Your consultation is a chance to be seen and heard. Our specialists take time to understand your needs and carefully assess the tags in question. You’ll leave this first step feeling informed, empowered, and ready to move forward confidently.
Procedure
On the day of your skin tag removal in Santa Monica, your provider begins by cleansing the treatment area to keep things sterile and safe. Then they apply a topical numbing cream to keep you comfortable. After this, they will remove or treat the skin tag using one of several proven methods. The procedure is quick and typically done in under 15 minutes.
Recovery
Recovery is simple. Clean the area gently, apply antibiotic ointment if directed, and keep it protected with a nonstick bandage. Most people forget they even had a skin tag within days, until they notice how much more confident they feel in their skin.
Build Your Custom Treatment Plan
The path for your Younique journey begins with this first step.
Will my skin tag grow back after removal?
Once we completely remove the skin tag, it typically does not grow back. However, some people are more prone to developing new tags in similar areas, especially where friction occurs, like underarms, neck folds, or around the bra line.
We tailor our skin tag removal in Santa Monica to both eliminate the current growth and support prevention of future growths. For areas prone to irritation, you may also benefit from treatments like laser resurfacing or microneedling to smooth and refresh the surrounding skin.
Can you remove multiple skin tags in one visit?
Absolutely! Most of our patients come in with more than one skin tag, especially on common sites. In most cases, we can remove several in a single session, depending on their size and location. It’s straightforward and typically requires no downtime. If you’re considering laser treatments or chemical peels afterward to enhance skin texture, we can plan a customized post-removal regimen to support your results.
Can I remove a skin tag on my own?
While it might be tempting to remove a skin tag at home, we strongly discourage it. DIY methods like cutting, tying, or using over-the-counter solutions can lead to infection, excessive bleeding, scarring, and incomplete removal. This is especially true if you’re unsure whether it’s actually a skin tag.
Professional skin tag removal by our experienced team ensures a clean, safe, and effective procedure. Your provider can also confirm the growth is benign and rule out other skin concerns. For smoother results with less risk, trust an expert.
