What Are Skin Tags?
Skin tags are small, benign growths composed of normal skin and connective tissue. They typically form in areas of friction—such as the neck, underarms, eyelids, groin, and under the breasts. While they are not dangerous, many individuals seek removal due to:
- Cosmetic concerns
- Discomfort or irritation from clothing or jewelry
- Snagging during shaving or physical activity
- Changes in appearance over time
At Starlite Aesthetics, we understand that even minor skin issues can impact confidence. That’s why we offer personalized skin tag removal plans in a welcoming, medically supervised environment.
How We Remove Skin Tags
Our approach to Skin Tag Removal depends on the size, location, and number of growths present. Treatment options may include:
- Cryotherapy (freezing the tag with a medical-grade solution)
- Electrosurgical excision using a precision-based device
- Topical numbing for comfort, especially for sensitive areas
- Minimal scarring techniques to preserve surrounding skin
All procedures are performed with sterile tools in a clinical setting, ensuring cleanliness and safety throughout. Most treatments are quick, often completed in under 30 minutes with little to no recovery time.
If you have other cosmetic skin concerns—such as scars, pigmentation, or broken capillaries—your skin tag appointment can also be combined with Scar Tissue Removal, RF Skin Rejuvenation, or Laser Face Peels with PRP for more comprehensive results.

Are skin tags dangerous?
No. Skin tags are benign and not harmful. However, if any growth appears unusual or changes rapidly, we may recommend a clinical evaluation before removal.
Will they come back after removal?
The treated skin tag will not return, though new tags may form over time—especially in areas of friction or due to hormonal changes. We can assist with preventive care and routine monitoring.
Can I remove skin tags at home?
We strongly advise against DIY removal. At-home methods often lead to incomplete removal, bleeding, infection, and scarring. Professional removal ensures safety and clean results.
How do I know if a growth is a skin tag?
During your consultation, Michelle will examine the growth to confirm it’s a skin tag. If there’s any doubt, she’ll recommend a safe and appropriate course of action based on clinical standards.
Is skin tag removal covered by insurance?
Because it is considered cosmetic, this procedure is not typically covered by insurance. However, we offer transparent pricing and can discuss options during your consultation.
