Skin Tag Removal
At Shumaila’s we use advanced electrolysis techniques to safely and effectively cauterise and remove skin tags. A small needle is used to cut off the skin tag and to cauterise it with high frequency current (shortwave diathermy). In fact doctors were using an early type of this treatment back in 1900’s to treat broken capillaries, warts and xanthelasma. The treatment has progressed and improved beyond recognition with modern technology and is a safe, comfortable and effective treatment much in demand by clients.
Skin tags are small harmless growths that hang off your skin, they often appear with a stalk like a mushroom and vary in size from smaller than a grain of uncooked rice, to the size of a large pea. They tend to be soft and smooth and can vary in colour.
Skin tags can be caused for no apparent reason, but are usually found in areas of friction where the skin folds rub together for example neck, underarms, groin and eyelid. People who have more folds in their skin are more prone to getting skin tags.
Depending on how many skin tags you have, our appointment is a maximum of 30 minutes. During this time, we remove as many skin tags as possible. If you only have 1 skin tag, only 1 session is needed – however if you have many then it depends on how many we are able to treat in one 30 minute session. You may need further sessions, to treat them all.
Types of Lesion Removals
Skin Tags
Skin Tags
Skin tags are small, soft, and flesh-colored growths that hang off the skin and are commonly found in areas where the skin folds, such as the neck, armpits, eyelids, and under the breasts. They are typically harmless and not painful but may become irritated by friction or clothing.
Seborrheic Keratosis
Seborrheic Keratosis
Seborrheic keratosis appears as waxy, scaly, or wart-like growths on the skin. They can vary in color from light brown to black and are often seen on the face, chest, back, or shoulders. These lesions are benign and commonly associated with aging.
Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (DPN)
Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (DPN)
DPN consists of small, dark, and raised bumps that typically develop on the face and neck, especially in individuals with darker skin tones. These lesions are harmless but may increase in number with age.
Milia
Milia
Milia are tiny, white, or yellowish cysts that form just under the skin, often around the eyes, cheeks, or forehead. They occur when keratin becomes trapped beneath the skin's surface.
Electrocautery VS Cryotherapy Or Excision
If we compare Excision with Electrocautery, you will be surprised to know that surgery is usually done under local anaesthesia to block any pain. The doctor uses a surgical blade to remove the whole lesion, as well as some normal skin around the edge and then closes the wound using stitches. Whereas the later requires a small needle or prob which means less pain, no anaesthesia with better and permanent results.
These methods are affectively used; however, everyone is not comfortable with cuts and razors. These treatment areas can be tailored to suit individual body contouring goals, and multiple areas can often be addressed in a single session.
Book your consultation with our qualified practitioner to determine the best treatment plan for your specific needs and desired results. At Shumaila’s we have brought you the safest, the most efficient and effective method: Electrocautery.

The Benefits
How Are Skin Tags Different From Warts Or Moles?
Skin tags are not the same as warts or moles. There are a few ways to tell the difference: Moles: Unlike skin tags — which tend to be a similar color as the rest of your skin — moles are noticeably pink, tan, or brown. While some moles can be raised, they tend to be flat and round or oval-shaped. In some cases, moles can develop into skin cancer (melanoma). Warts: Like skin tags, warts may be the same color as the rest of the skin. However, they tend to have a rough texture. And unlike skin tags, which have no clear cause, warts are caused by a virus that can be spread from one person to another. (Pennmedicine.org)
