What it is

What is a skin tag?

Skin tags are small, soft growths that often appear where skin rubs against skin or clothing, like the neck, the underarms and the eyelids. They are very common and completely harmless, but they can catch, snag and bother you.

At Helena Aesthetics on Acklam Road in Middlesbrough, I remove skin tags with advanced electrolysis. It is a precise, non-surgical method, so there is no cutting and no scarring when the skin is cared for properly afterwards.

Your visit

What to expect

10 to 30 minutes

A typical treatment, depending on the size and number being treated.

Barely any discomfort

Most feel only a mild warm or tingling sensation. There is no cutting.

Heals in about 10 days

Larger blemishes can take a little longer to settle fully.

Aftercare included

Personalised advice, a soothing gel or powder if needed, and a check two months later.

A note on moles. For your safety, a mole is never treated as a skin tag. If a growth is changing, or you are unsure what it is, I will ask you to see your GP first.

The method

How advanced electrolysis removes a skin tag

1

A fine needle, no cut

A very fine, sterile needle, about as thin as a hair, is gently placed on the skin tag. There is no cutting.

2

A little controlled heat

A small, controlled amount of heat passes through the needle into the skin tag.

3

The tissue dries up

That heat gently dries the tissue inside the tag, without harming the healthy skin around it.

4

It falls away naturally

Over the next few days the skin tag shrinks, dries out, and falls away on its own.

Cannot recommend enough!!! Always struggled with body image, from tiny little skin tags that progressively got bigger on my neck and eyelids, and I am so glad I trusted Helena to get rid of them for me, the confidence I feel now is unmatched! Family members will be getting theirs done now too! Pain is minimal, and controlled on your own terms which helped massively having the confidence to just ask for a quick break from treatment in the tender areas. Left with no scarring and photos to prove below. Fantastic customer service, and I’m about to book a 3rd appointment for my final skin tag removal! Gone forever, no scarring, more than fair prices. 10/10 ❤️ see photos, before, after treatment and once healed (1 week later) x

Absolutely love my results! My brows have a lovely subtle lift, my eyes look more open, and my forehead looks smooth while still feeling completely natural. I couldn’t be happier. Thank you, Helena - you are truly the Best!!!

As I’ve got older, I’ve noticed my lips gradually losing volume and definition, feeling thinner and paler than they used to. I never felt comfortable with the idea of Botox, fillers or any invasive cosmetic procedures – I wanted something gentler but still effective. That’s why permanent lip tattooing felt like the perfect choice: it would add natural-looking colour, restore shape and give me a fresher, more youthful look without the risks or downtime of surgery. After researching my options, I found Helen and immediately felt reassured by her years of expertise and glowing reputation. From our very first chat, she was incredibly professional, taking time to explain every step, talk through colours that would suit my skin tone, and answer all my questions patiently. Her communication was clear and friendly throughout, and I felt completely confident putting my trust in her. The results have exceeded my expectations – my lips look fuller, more vibrant, and perfectly natural. Helen’s skill and attention to detail are outstanding, and I couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone considering this treatment!

I had an anti-wrinkle treatment at Helena Cosmetics and the results were amazing! My skin looks smoother, and more lifted. Elena was professional and made me feel totally at ease. I didn’t expect such a noticeable difference! I highly recommend.

I’ve had 3 sessions of PRP for hair regrowth and facial PRP (vampire facial) and can’t recommend her enough. Extremely knowledgable and friendly and very competitive prices for such high quality service.

I had a chain of skin tags around my neck that made me feel self-conscious. Helena removed them so carefully, and now I wear necklaces and open tops with confidence. She’s a miracle worker!

I always thought eyeliner wouldn’t work on my hooded eyes, but Helena proved me wrong. She created a subtle, lifted wing that opens my eyes up beautifully. I haven’t worn eyeliner since because I don’t need to!

I had a plasma facial today and it was absolutely amazing! The treatment was so professional, and I already feel like my skin is glowing. Helena explained everything clearly and made me feel totally at ease. I’m so excited to see the results as my skin heals, I already feel more confident. Highly recommend to anyone thinking about giving their skin a boost!

I had PRP plasma with Helena for years and always love my results. It takes time to see it and if you do regularly you will see the brightness , glowing and hydration in your skin. She takes your blood really gently and professionally. Also she suggests and explains about the treatment and how many should I do it. 3-5-8 treatments and you love to see your face in the mirror 🥰. Helena thank you for my glowing skin ! 🥰

I highly recommend Helena for aesthetic improvements. After a medical condition a few years ago left half of my face slightly droopy, I wanted to address the lingering effects. I was nervous about the process, but Helena immediately put me at ease. I trust her completely. Her skill and attention to detail have made a significant positive impact on my appearance, and I'm so grateful for her expertise.

Common questions

Skin tag removal FAQ

Most people feel only a mild warm or tingling sensation. There is no cutting, so any discomfort is brief and easily managed.

The skin tag I treat is removed and does not usually return in the same spot. New tags can still appear elsewhere over time, and I am always happy to treat those too.

No. There is no cutting and no need to take time off. Most people go straight back to their day, and the area heals gently over about 10 days.

Often yes, and delicate areas like the eyelids are exactly where advanced electrolysis is at its best. We check it is suitable at your consultation.

Your price depends on the size and number of skin tags being treated, so I give you a clear, honest price at your consultation, with no pressure and no surprises.

Yes. A short consultation and patch test let me check the skin tag is suitable and explain exactly what to expect, so you feel completely comfortable before we begin.
