How it works

  1. Free consultation and skin assessment
  2. A clear price before treatment
  3. CryoPen freezing, usually in a single session

Skin tags are small, soft growths that hang from the skin. They are harmless and very common, but they can catch on clothing or jewellery, rub, or simply be somewhere you would rather they weren’t. If you live in Mumbles and want one removed, we freeze skin tags with the CryoPen at our clinic in Llanelli.

Cowell St Skin & Hair Clinic is in the centre of Llanelli. We are a doctor-led clinic registered with Healthcare Inspectorate Wales, and we have been treating clients since 2016.

Every client starts with a free consultation. There’s no pressure and no sales pitch, just an honest view of what treatment can and can’t do for you.

What Are Skin Tags?

Skin tags are common, benign growths that dangle from the skin on a small stalk. They’re most often found where skin folds or rubs, including the neck, armpits, eyelids, groin and under the breasts. In Mumbles, where swimwear and summer tops are part of life, they can be a nuisance to have on show.

They don’t need removing for medical reasons, but many people choose to because they catch, rub or affect how they feel about their skin.

Cowell St Skin & Hair Clinic is registered with Healthcare Inspectorate Wales and doctor-led, and we treat skin tags with the CryoPen from £50.

How CryoPen Skin Tag Removal Works

Illustration: the CryoPen delivers a fine, precise jet of ultra-cold nitrous oxide onto the skin tag. The extreme cold turns the fluid inside its cells into sharp ice crystals, which rupture the cell walls and destroy the tissue, while the surrounding skin is left unharmed. Over the following one to six weeks the tag turns black at the base, dries and falls away naturally, leaving smooth skin behind. Larger skin tags may need a second freeze. © Cowell St Skin & Hair Clinic.

The CryoPen is a cryotherapy device that sends a fine, high-pressure jet of nitrous oxide at the skin tag, freezing it in a few seconds. The cold destroys the cells in the tag while healthy skin nearby is left alone.

There’s no cutting, no stitches and no anaesthetic. Over the following weeks, the tag darkens at the base and falls away, usually within 1 to 6 weeks.

What Results to Expect

A single session usually does the job, though tags of 3mm or more sometimes need a second freeze. If yours remains after 6 weeks, let us know and we’ll re-treat it.

Because only the tag is frozen, the risk of scarring is low. A lighter or darker mark can occasionally remain, particularly lighter marks on darker skin, and we’ll check this with you first. Treatment doesn’t prevent new tags from forming.

Warts and Pigmentation

The CryoPen is not only for skin tags. We also use it to treat warts and small areas of pigmentation, such as age spots.

We will look at the lesion at your free consultation and tell you whether freezing is suitable.

What You Can Expect from Treatment

  • Fast treatment: a few seconds per skin tag
  • Comfortable: just a short, cold sting
  • Sessions needed: usually one; occasionally two for larger tags
  • Healing: the tag blackens and comes away within 1 to 6 weeks
  • Back to normal: no recovery time needed
  • Clear advice: if freezing isn’t right, we’ll say so

Your Free Consultation

Every appointment starts with a free consultation. We examine the lesion to confirm it’s a skin tag and check freezing is appropriate, then review your medical history.

You’ll have a clear price before any treatment. If a lesion doesn’t look like a typical skin tag, we’ll recommend a GP check first.

To secure your appointment we take a £30 deposit. It comes off the price of your treatment, or we refund it in full if you decide not to go ahead. Please read our cancellation policy before you book.

Before and After Your Treatment

Before you come in

  • No special preparation is needed.
  • Come with the area clean and free from make-up, creams and fake tan.
  • Tell us about any medication you take and any medical conditions, particularly anything affecting circulation or healing.

After each session

  • Leave the skin tag alone and let it fall off by itself. Do not pick, scratch or pull at it.
  • Keep the area clean and pat it dry gently after washing.
  • If a small blister forms, do not burst it. It will settle on its own.
  • Use SPF 50 on the area if it is exposed to the sun while it heals.
  • Call us if you have any concerns about how the area is healing.

You’ll be given aftercare advice to take home, and you can call us with any questions.

Skin Tag Removal near Mumbles: Your Questions Answered

How much does skin tag removal cost?

Prices start from £50 and depend on the number of skin tags. We confirm your price at the free consultation, before any treatment.

Does CryoPen skin tag removal hurt?

It’s a quick cold sting that lasts only seconds. No anaesthetic is needed, and most clients are surprised how little it bothers them.

How many sessions will I need?

One session is usually enough, though bigger tags may need two.

How long does it take for the skin tag to fall off?

It darkens, then falls away within 1 to 6 weeks.

Will it leave a scar?

There isn’t any. Most people return to work immediately.
