Skin Tag Removal in Singapore

Generally, removal is considered a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by insurance.

Some patients experience a prickling sensation, and numbing cream may be applied during the procedure to reduce discomfort.

Removed tags typically do not regrow in the same spot, though new ones may appear elsewhere over time.

Recovery varies depending on the method used and individual skin response. Some temporary redness, mild sensitivity, or small scabs may appear after treatment and generally improve as the skin heals.

It’s best to avoid removing skin tags at home, as doing so may increase the risk of infection or scarring. A medical consultation is recommended so your doctor can assess the skin safely and advise on suitable removal options.

When unsure, always consult with the medical team, who can help with a diagnosis and rule out other conditions.

Skin tags can be safely removed using CO₂ Laser in surgical mode, which precisely excises the growth at its base while minimising damage to surrounding skin. Other minor dermatological procedures may also be considered depending on the location and size of the skin tag.

The cost of skin tag removal varies depending on the number, size, and complexity of the lesions being treated. During your consultation, our clinical team will assess the skin tags and recommend a suitable treatment plan.

Skin tag removal treatments may start from $100 – $300 per tag, with pricing adjusted based on the number of lesions treated in a session.

Side effects are generally minor and temporary. Patients may experience mild redness, slight swelling, or small scabs. These typically resolve within a few days.

Patients should keep the area clean, avoid scratching or rubbing, and follow the clinical team’s specific instructions. Gentle moisturisers and broad-spectrum sunscreen may be recommended, while harsh skincare products and exfoliation should be avoided until the skin has recovered.

In some cases, removal may be performed during the same visit, depending on your skin condition and the clinical team’s assessment.

No, they are not contagious.

Laser techniques such as the CO2 Laser (Surgical) are among the methods used for skin tag removal under medical supervision.

They can range from millimetres to several centimetres; larger ones are usually removed for comfort or cosmetic reasons.

The clinical team will advise on the recommended number of sessions, which may range from a single one to multiple.
