Basically just think of them as some extra skin which can be removed in just a few seconds. Nothing too it. Usually they are numbed then just cut off or in some cases they use Liquid Nitrogen to freeze them. Minimal discomfort a very minor procedure. |

In general, they are innocuous, but can be esthetically unappealing. The key to reducing the appearance of benign skin tags is the use of a good method of exfoliation (with hydroxy acid and/or manual abrasion) + SRCPs to help initiate strong skin rejuvenation. Keep in mind that consistency and patience are vital. Here is a regimen that has worked for many clients: AM Use: AM - After cleansing the skin, apply a light amount of TriReduction Cream or Super Cop Cream (which contains a strong concentration of SRCPs). This should just barely cover the area. Be careful when using around sensitive skin areas. PM Use: PM - After cleansing the skin, apply a light amount of Lactic Power 10 (10% hydroxy acid chemical exfoliant that helps reduce the appearance of old skin cells).
