Skin tags are harmless skin growths that can appear on the neck, underarms, eyelids, or other folds of the body. While they are medically benign, many people seek removal for cosmetic or comfort reasons. At Dermagiz, our approach is rooted in safety, science, and aesthetics. Led by Dr. Juan Gomez-Izquierdo, our Montreal-based clinic offers expert evaluation and treatment options tailored to each patient. Whether a skin tag causes irritation or simply affects your confidence, we’re here to help you address it with care and professionalism.
Skin tags, also known as acrochordons, are soft, skin-colored growths that typically form in areas where the skin folds or experiences friction. They are most commonly caused by repetitive rubbing or irritation of the skin, which can trigger the growth of extra skin tissue. Genetics, age, and hormonal changes also play a role.
While anyone can develop skin tags, they are more common in adults over 40, individuals who are overweight, and those with diabetes or insulin resistance. They can also appear more frequently during pregnancy due to hormonal shifts. Although harmless, skin tags can become irritated by clothing or jewelry, leading many patients to consider safe removal.
Although skin tags are not dangerous, there are valid reasons to consider removal. Some patients experience discomfort when tags catch on clothing, necklaces, or shaving razors. Others feel self-conscious about visible tags on the neck, eyelids, or underarms. In some cases, skin tags may change color or bleed after friction, prompting medical evaluation.
If a skin tag causes irritation, aesthetic concern, or impacts your daily comfort, professional removal is a safe and effective option. At Dermagiz, we assess each case individually and provide recommendations based on size, location, and patient goals—ensuring that removal is both medically appropriate and cosmetically precise.
There are several proven methods to remove skin tags safely, depending on their size, location, and the patient’s skin type. At Dermagiz, our team uses medical-grade tools and sterilized techniques to ensure comfort, precision, and minimal risk of scarring. The most common cosmetic skin procedures for skin tag removal include cryotherapy (freezing), cauterization (burning), and surgical excision.
Unlike over-the-counter remedies or spa treatments, these procedures are performed under medical supervision by qualified professionals like Dr. Juan Gomez-Izquierdo. This minimizes complications such as infection, hyperpigmentation, or regrowth. Choosing a medically trained expert ensures not only a safer result—but one that respects your skin’s integrity and aesthetic appearance.
A typical skin tag removal session at Dermagiz begins with a personalized consultation. During this visit, Dr. Juan Gomez-Izquierdo evaluates the skin tag or multiple tags, discusses your medical history, and recommends the most appropriate method for removal. Most procedures are quick, lasting between 15 and 30 minutes, and require little to no downtime.
Depending on the chosen method—such as cryotherapy or minor surgical excision—you may experience mild discomfort, similar to a pinch or sting. After the treatment, patients receive detailed care instructions to ensure optimal healing. In most cases, the area heals smoothly within 7 to 10 days, leaving little to no visible trace. Our focus is always on safety, comfort, and achieving natural, aesthetic results.
Most skin tag removal procedures are considered cosmetic and are therefore not covered by provincial or private insurance plans. However, if a skin tag is causing persistent irritation or medical concern, your provider may advise further evaluation.
While there are home remedies and over-the-counter solutions, we strongly recommend seeking professional care. Improper removal can lead to bleeding, infection, scarring, or regrowth. At Dermagiz, our clinical protocols ensure your safety and optimal results.
Once a skin tag is properly removed, it typically does not grow back in the same spot. However, new skin tags may appear in other areas over time, especially if underlying factors like friction or hormonal changes persist.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort. Our methods are designed to be fast and gentle, with numbing options available if needed.
For many patients, removing a skin tag isn’t just about appearance—it’s about restoring a sense of comfort and confidence. Whether it’s a tag on your neckline that catches on jewelry or one on your eyelid that draws unwanted attention, these small concerns can have a real impact on how you feel in your daily life.
At Dermagiz, we understand that cosmetic skin procedures are not just technical treatments; they are part of your journey toward self-care and well-being. That’s why we approach each case with clinical expertise and genuine compassion—so you can feel more like yourself again, with skin that reflects how you want to be seen.
