Skin tags on the face can be particularly noticeable, even when they are small. They may develop around areas such as the cheeks, forehead, jawline or other suitable facial areas and can sometimes catch during shaving, skincare or everyday grooming.
At Empress Lasers, we provide professional facial skin tag removal for suitable skin tags, with treatment carefully tailored to the size, position and characteristics of each individual growth. Our practitioners take a precise approach to minimise unnecessary disruption to the surrounding skin, which is particularly important when treating visible areas of the face.
Every treatment begins with an assessment to establish suitability and ensure the growth is appropriate for cosmetic removal.
Skin tags are small, benign skin growths that can occur in areas where the skin experiences friction. While they are generally harmless, their appearance can become more noticeable when they develop on the face or around the neck.
Facial skin tags can also become inconvenient when applying skincare or makeup, shaving or carrying out your normal grooming routine.
Professional removal allows suitable skin tags to be treated in a controlled environment. Because facial skin is highly visible, we take particular care when assessing the growth and determining the appropriate treatment approach.
Your appointment begins with an assessment of the skin tag and surrounding skin. The practitioner will consider its appearance, size and location before confirming whether it is suitable for treatment.
Treatment is then carefully concentrated on the unwanted skin tag while minimising unnecessary disruption to the surrounding healthy skin.
Following treatment, the area will begin to heal naturally. Depending on the individual skin tag and treatment performed, you may experience some temporary redness, sensitivity or minor crusting as the skin settles.
Your practitioner will provide appropriate aftercare instructions and explain how to look after the area during the healing process.
Skin tags vary in size, shape and position. Some remain extremely small, while others become more prominent over time or begin to interfere with shaving, skincare and other everyday routines.
Their visibility means many people choose to have facial skin tags removed for cosmetic reasons even when they aren't causing physical discomfort.
