Most procedures take 10–30 minutes depending on the number and size of lesions.
Skin tags are harmless but can be frustrating, especially when they catch on clothing, jewellery, or simply affect your confidence. At Injex Clinics, we offer safe, precise and professional skin tag removal treatments that restore smooth, clear skin with minimal discomfort or downtime.
Whether you have a single tag or multiple, our experienced clinicians use medical-grade techniques such as cautery, plasma pen and laser to remove lesions quickly and hygienically, leaving your skin looking fresh and refined.
Skin tags are small, soft, flesh-coloured growths that hang off the skin’s surface. They are made up of normal skin tissue, including collagen fibres and small blood vessels, and can appear anywhere on the body.
They’re especially common in areas where the skin folds or experiences friction, such as the neck, underarms, eyelids, chest, back, groin, and under the breasts.
While skin tags are benign (non-cancerous) and generally painless, they can become irritated if rubbed or pulled. Many clients choose to have them removed for comfort, aesthetic, or hygiene reasons.
Our most common method for small to medium skin tags uses precision cautery or cryotherapy to safely remove the lesion with minimal discomfort.

Skin tags develop when collagen and blood vessels become trapped inside thicker skin tissue. While the exact cause isn’t fully understood, several contributing factors have been identified.
1. Friction and Skin Rubbing
Areas that experience frequent friction (e.g. underarms, neck, bra line) are prone to skin tag formation.
2. Genetics
A hereditary predisposition may increase the likelihood of developing skin tags.
3. Hormonal Changes
Pregnancy and metabolic fluctuations can lead to increased skin growth activity.
4. Age
Skin tags are more common in adults and tend to appear with age.
5. Insulin Resistance or Weight Fluctuations
Increased skin folds or friction from movement can stimulate skin growth.
6. Certain Health Factors
Skin tags are more common among individuals with diabetes or higher body mass index, though they can occur in anyone.
Skin tags can recur, especially in areas where friction or rubbing is frequent. These simple steps help maintain healthy, tag-free skin:
Keep skin clean and dry, especially in folds or creases
Wear breathable fabrics to reduce friction
Avoid jewellery or collars that rub on the neck
Maintain a healthy weight to reduce skin friction
Exfoliate gently to remove dead skin cells
Manage hormonal changes with guidance from your healthcare professional
Avoid attempting at-home removal with scissors or string, as this can cause infection or scarring
Apply sunscreen daily to prevent pigmentation after removal
