Skin Tags are little flesh-toned growths that occur on your skin. They are most common on areas of the body where clothing can rub, or where the skin folds.
The most common areas for skin tags to appear are the neck, armpits, groin, and under the breasts.
Skin Tags are caused by your body producing too many cells in the top layer of your skin. They can be caused by the skin being repeatedly rubbed or irritated by clothing, for example. They may look unsightly and annoying but they are nothing to worry about and are more common as you age.
When we use the Visia Digital Skin Analysis to assess your skin, we are using a tool that allows us to see deep below the surface layer of your skin and detect a multiple of potential concerns. This advanced technology allows us to pick up on issues such as spots, wrinkles, texture, pores, UV spots, scars, red areas, porphyrins and more.
Technology We Use
Observ Skin Analysis
Using state-of-the-art skin analysis, Este Medical is able to view the health of your skin more accurately and create a bespoke skin treatment package to help you achieve your best skin yet.

*Please note not all Este Medical Group clinics offer the Observ machine, contact your local branch to find out.
It’s not advisable to deal with skin tags at home as you may cause excessive bleeding. If you’d like to remove skin tags safely, speak to your GP or get in touch with us at Este and we’ll talk you through your options.
Do Skin Tags come back once they’ve been removed?
No. Once you’ve had your skin tags removed, they won’t grow back. However, it doesn’t mean that more skin tags won’t grow elsewhere on your body.
Are Skin Tags the same as Warts?
No. Skin tags are not warts. Skin tags appear on the skin as raised growths, attached by a ‘stalk’ so that they protrude from the skin. Skin tags are smooth while warts are uneven, bumpy, rounder and flatter.
