Better Health
Skin tags aren’t harmful, but their location can cause irritation against skin, clothing, etc.
Quick & Easy
Skin tag removal is done in-office for fast, simple, effective results.
Consultation
It starts with a personal consultation with your trained and licensed Younique provider. During this relaxing and energizing one-on-one, they’ll discuss your concerns, your goals for treatment, and your medical history. They will also inspect the treatment area. If your provider determines that skin tag removal in Los Angeles is the best treatment for your concerns and goals, your session can be scheduled.
Procedure
Younique offers several different techniques to remove your skin tags. No matter which method is chosen, your provider will first thoroughly cleanse and disinfect the treatment area. This may also require removing any makeup at the target location. Depending on the treatment:
- Topical numbing cream will be applied.
- The skin tag will either be completely removed or killed.
- If the skin tag isn’t fully removed, it will eventually fall off.
Recovery
There is no downtime for skin tag removal in Los Angeles that does not involve the anal region. Most Younique patients head back into their regular daily activities after this 15-minute treatment. You will want to keep your skin tag removal site clean. If the skin tag is cut off, you can apply antibiotic ointment to the wound and cover it with a nonstick bandage as it heals. Do not use hydrogen peroxide or rubbing alcohol on it. Also, do not scratch or rub the wound or the dead skin tag during recovery.

Can't I just remove skin tags at home with a knife or fingernail clippers?
Yes, you can—but there are big risks associated with a DIY skin tag removal.
Excessive Bleeding
Because the skin tag consists of some collagen, skin cells, and a lot of blood vessels, cutting them off can cause a surprising amount of bleeding. Most homes are ill equipped to stop the bleeding that can happen when a skin tag is excised.
Infection Risk
Because home tools for skin tag removal are not professionally cleansed, there is a greater risk of introducing bacteria into the wound site. The infection can be worsened because of the amount of blood vessels within the skin tag, running the risk of introducing the bacteria into the bloodstream.
What do the methods of skin tag removal in Los Angeles entail?
Your Younique provider will use 1 of 4 methods to remove your skin tag:
- Excision. The skin tag is cut off using a special tool or a scalpel.
- Cryotherapy. Liquid nitrogen is applied to the skin tag, killing it.
- Hyfrecation. A specialized electrode quickly burns off the skin tag.
- Radio frequency (RF) surgery. A special device applies RF energy to burn off the skin tag.
