Skin Tag Removal in Surrey, BC: What You Need to Know

Skin tags are common, harmless skin growths that can appear in areas where skin rubs against skin or clothing. They may be small and barely noticeable—or they may become irritating, catch on jewellery or clothing, or simply bother you cosmetically.

At Cantik Esthetics Skin Care in Surrey, BC, selected skin tags may be treated cosmetically using thermocoagulation, a precise, non-invasive technique using controlled radiofrequency energy.

Every treatment is personally performed by Liza James, Licensed Esthetician, with more than 26 years of professional esthetics experience.

What Is a Skin Tag?

A skin tag, medically known as an acrochordon, is a small, soft growth of skin that commonly appears in areas such as the:

• Neck

• Underarms

• Bra line

• Groin area

• Eyelids or around the eyes

• Other areas where skin experiences friction

Skin tags can vary in size, shape, and appearance.

Important: Not Every Skin Growth Is a Skin Tag

A skin growth should not automatically be assumed to be a skin tag.

Moles, cysts, suspicious or changing lesions, and concerns requiring medical diagnosis are outside the scope of cosmetic esthetic treatment.

If you are unsure what a growth is, particularly if it is new, changing, bleeding, painful, or unusual in appearance, seek assessment from an appropriate medical professional before considering cosmetic removal.

How Is a Skin Tag Treated at Cantik Esthetics?

Selected appropriate skin tags may be treated using thermocoagulation.

Thermocoagulation uses controlled radiofrequency energy delivered through a fine probe to precisely treat the selected area.

Treatment planning is individualized according to factors such as:

• Size of the skin tag

• Number of skin tags

• Location

• Shape and appearance

• Accessibility

• Treatment complexity

• Individual comfort and sensitivity

Precision Matters

Skin tag removal is not simply about having a device.

Experience, technique, treatment selection, and judgment matter.

Liza James has been a Licensed Esthetician since 2000 and certified in thermocoagulation since 2011. She personally performs every thermocoagulation treatment at Cantik Esthetics.

What Does Skin Tag Removal Feel Like?

Comfort varies depending on the individual and the location and extent of treatment.

Some clients describe sensations such as warmth, tingling, or brief prickling.

Your comfort and sensitivity are considered as part of treatment planning.

What Happens After Skin Tag Removal?

The treated area may temporarily appear red, slightly swollen, irritated, or develop a small surface crust or scab as the skin heals.

Healing varies depending on the individual, the location treated, and the extent of treatment.

You will receive specific aftercare instructions following your appointment.

Following those instructions helps support the skin through its natural healing process.

Can Skin Tags Come Back?

A treated skin tag may not return in the same spot, but new skin tags can develop elsewhere.

Removing an existing skin tag does not prevent additional skin tags from developing in the future.

Is Skin Tag Removal Safe?

Suitability is assessed individually before treatment.

Selected benign skin tags may be appropriate for cosmetic thermocoagulation, but not every skin growth is suitable for esthetic treatment.

If there is any uncertainty about the nature of a growth, medical assessment should come first.
