Expert Dermatology Care by Dr. Fazeela Abbasi in Dubai
Skin tags may be harmless, but for many people, they’re an unwelcome addition to otherwise smooth skin. Whether you find them bothersome, unsightly, or prone to irritation, the good news is: skin tags can be safely and effectively removed with the right dermatological care.
At Dr. Fazeela Abbasi’s clinic in Dubai, we offer advanced, scar-free treatments for skin tag removal, along with expert advice on how to prevent them from recurring.
What Are Skin Tags?
Skin tags—also known as acrochordons—are small, soft, flesh-colored growths that hang off the skin. They are non-cancerous and typically found in areas where the skin folds, such as:
- Neck
- Armpits
- Eyelids
- Groin
- Under the breasts
They can range from a few millimeters to a few centimeters in size and are often caused by friction, genetics, hormonal changes, or weight gain.
While they don’t pose a medical threat, many people choose to remove them for aesthetic reasons or due to irritation.
Skin Tag Removal Treatments at DFA Clinic Dubai
At Dr. Fazeela Abbasi’s dermatology clinic, skin tag removal is done using safe, clinically approved techniques that ensure minimal discomfort and no scarring. The choice of method depends on the location, size, and number of skin tags.
-
Radiofrequency (RF) Cautery
A highly precise, heat-based technique that cuts off the skin tag at its base and seals the skin instantly. This is ideal for tags on the face and delicate areas.
-
Cryotherapy (Freezing)
Liquid nitrogen is applied to freeze the tag, causing it to fall off naturally in a few days. Best suited for small, surface-level tags.
-
Laser Removal
CO2 or Q-switched lasers are used to vaporize the tag, especially in cosmetically sensitive areas like the eyelids or neckline. This method ensures no bleeding and a smooth finish.
-
Excision with Sterile Blade
A quick and effective method used for larger or stubborn skin tags. Performed under topical anesthesia for complete comfort.
Each procedure is performed by qualified professionals under the supervision of Dr. Fazeela Abbasi, ensuring precision, hygiene, and great cosmetic outcomes.
What to Expect During the Procedure
- Quick treatment: Most skin tags are removed in under 20 minutes.
- Minimal pain: A numbing cream is used to ensure a comfortable experience.
- No downtime: You can resume normal activities immediately.
- Healing time: Small scabs may form and fall off within 5–7 days.
What Not to Do: Avoid DIY Skin Tag Removal
Cutting or tying off skin tags at home can lead to:
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Scarring
- Incomplete removal and recurrence
Always consult a qualified dermatologist to ensure safe, sterile, and effective treatment, especially for skin tags on the face, eyelids, or intimate areas.
How to Prevent Skin Tags from Coming Back
While there’s no guaranteed way to prevent skin tags entirely, here are a few dermatologist-recommended strategies:
Maintain a Healthy Weight
Friction in skin folds contributes to skin tag formation. Maintaining a healthy BMI reduces the chances.
Reduce Skin Irritation
Avoid tight clothing and heavy accessories (like necklaces or bras) that rub against the same areas repeatedly.
Manage Blood Sugar
Skin tags are more common in individuals with insulin resistance or diabetes. Keeping your blood sugar in check may reduce the risk.
Regular Skin Checks
Get your skin examined regularly by a dermatologist—especially if you have a family history of skin tags or experience hormonal fluctuations (e.g., during pregnancy or menopause).
