Skin Tag Removal at Laser & Skin Belfast: Quick, Safe & Precise with CryoPen

Skin tags are extremely common — small, soft, harmless growths that appear on areas where the skin folds or experiences friction. Although they’re medically benign, many people dislike their appearance or find them irritating. At Laser & Skin Belfast, we offer fast and effective removal using CryoPen, a precision freezing device that treats skin tags safely and comfortably.

What Are Skin Tags?

Skin tags (acrochordons) are:

• Soft, flesh-toned or slightly darker growths

• Completely harmless

• Often found on the neck, underarms, breasts, eyelids and groin

• Linked to friction, hormones, genetics and age

While they don’t require medical treatment, many people choose removal for cosmetic reasons or to stop them catching on jewellery or clothing.

How CryoPen Skin Tag Removal Works

CryoPen is a highly targeted cryotherapy device that delivers a fine jet of nitrous oxide to the skin tag, freezing the tissue at its base.

Benefits of CryoPen

• Quick and comfortable

• Highly precise — surrounding skin remains untouched

• No cutting, burning or stitches

• Suitable for delicate areas, including eyelids

• Minimal downtime

After treatment, the skin tag typically darkens, dries out and falls away over several days to a couple of weeks.

Your Appointment: What to Expect

1. AssessmentWe examine the area to confirm the lesion is a benign skin tag and suitable for cosmetic removal.

2. PreparationThe area is cleaned. Numbing is rarely needed because the freezing sensation is brief.

3. CryoPen TreatmentThe CryoPen is applied directly to the tag for a few seconds, freezing it quickly and precisely.

4. AftercareYou’ll leave with simple care instructions tailored to the size and location of the treated area.

Aftercare & Healing

Healing is usually straightforward. You may notice:

• Darkening of the treated area

• A small scab forming

• Natural shedding of the tag

We recommend:

• Keeping the area dry for 24 hours

• Avoiding picking or rubbing

• Avoiding intense heat, steam or swimming for 48 hours

• Allowing any scab to fall away naturally

• Protecting the area from sun exposure while healing

Most people heal within 7–14 days.
