Skin Tags, Age Spots, and Sun Spot

Skin tags, age spots, and sun spots  are common and can affect anyone, but they often become more noticeable as we age or after years of sun exposure. Whether it’s the awkward friction of a skin tag snagging on clothing or the stubborn sun spot on your cheek that no cream seems to fix, these problems can take a toll on your confidence.

At our clinic, we specialise in helping patients achieve clearer, brighter skin with cutting-edge treatments. Using advanced treatments designed to minimise downtime, we can target unwanted pigmentation and skin irregularities, leaving you with smoother, healthier skin.

What Are Skin Tags?

Skin tags are small, soft growths that typically appear in areas where skin rubs against itself, like the neck, underarms, or groin. These harmless lumps are usually flesh-toned, although they can sometimes darken slightly.

While skin tags don’t pose a medical threat, they can become irritated if caught on jewellery or scratched by clothing. Hormonal changes, genetics, and even being overweight can make some people more prone to developing them. The good news? Skin tags are easy to remove with professional treatments, offering both relief and a smoother appearance.

What Are Age Spots and Sun Spots?

Age spots and sun spots are flat, dark marks that appear on the skin. These spots are the result of excess pigment caused by prolonged exposure to the sun. While age spots are more connected to getting older, sun spots often show up earlier due to UV damage.

These spots tend to crop up in areas that get the most sun, like your face, hands, shoulders, and chest. Though harmless, they can make skin look uneven and older, prompting many to seek treatments to lighten or remove them.

Why Address These Skin Concerns?

Treating skin tags, age spots, and sun spots isn’t just about appearances. Skin tags can cause physical irritation, especially if they get caught on clothing or jewellery. Meanwhile, spots caused by age or sun exposure can make your complexion appear uneven, dull, and older than you feel.

By addressing these concerns, you can enjoy smoother, even skin that looks and feels healthier. Treatments not only improve your appearance but also reduce discomfort.

Treatment Options for Skin Tags

Non-Surgical Skin Tag Removal

If you’re tired of dealing with skin tags, non-surgical removal is a quick and effective solution. There are several safe methods, each designed to minimise discomfort and downtime.

• Cryotherapy: This technique freezes the skin tag using liquid nitrogen, causing it to fall off naturally within days.
• Electrocautery: Using a specialised device, the skin tag is gently cauterised and removed with precision.
• Surgical Excision: For larger or stubborn skin tags, a small snip performed by a professional can remove it swiftly and painlessly.

These treatments are done in a clean, controlled environment, ensuring the best results with little risk of scarring.

Benefits of Professional Treatment

While at-home remedies might seem tempting, they often lead to uneven results, irritation, or even infection. Professional removal is faster, safer, and more reliable. Skilled practitioners can target the skin tag without damaging the surrounding skin, leaving you with a smoother and clearer surface.

Treatment Options for Age Spots and Sun Spots

1. Laser Treatments

For stubborn age spots and sun spots, laser therapy is a game-changer. The clinic uses advanced technology to break down pigmentation, leaving your skin visibly clearer. Popular treatments include:

• IPL (Intense Pulsed Light): This method targets pigmentation with light pulses, lifting dark spots while improving overall skin tone.
• Fractional Lasers: These lasers resurface the skin, stimulating collagen production and reducing visible spots.

With minimal discomfort and little recovery time, laser treatments are perfect for patients seeking noticeable improvements without the hassle of surgery.

2. Topical Treatments and Peels

Chemical peels and prescription-strength creams can work wonders for lighter pigmentation issues. Peels exfoliate the skin, removing damaged layers and revealing a brighter complexion underneath. Topical treatments containing ingredients like retinol or hydroquinone can also help fade dark spots over time.

These methods are often combined with laser treatments for even better results, offering a comprehensive approach to sun damage and age-related pigmentation.

Minimal Downtime, Maximum Results

One of the biggest concerns for patients seeking cosmetic treatments is downtime. At our clinic, we prioritise techniques that deliver visible results while allowing you to get back to your daily routine quickly.

Recovery After Skin Tag Removal

Most non-surgical skin tag treatments, such as cryotherapy or electrocautery, require minimal healing time. You may experience slight redness or tenderness in the treated area, but this typically resolves within a few days. For surgical excision, the recovery is equally quick, with little to no scarring when handled by skilled professionals.

Recovery After Treatments for Age Spots and Sun Spots

Laser therapies, including IPL and fractional lasers, come with mild side effects like redness or slight swelling, which subside within a few days. Chemical peels might cause temporary peeling, but this is a natural part of revealing the fresh, radiant skin underneath.

Tips for Aftercare

• Protect your skin: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to prevent further sun damage and preserve your results.
• Keep it moisturised: Use a gentle moisturiser to keep treated areas hydrated.
• Avoid harsh products: Steer clear of abrasive scrubs or exfoliants during the healing period.

With these simple steps, you can enjoy long-lasting improvements and maintain the clarity and brightness of your skin.
