We always check the lesion, and refer to your GP if we’re unsure.
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 Porthcawl 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.
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 a beach town like Porthcawl, tags on the neck, chest or underarms are often more noticeable in summer.
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.
At Cowell St Skin & Hair Clinic, a doctor-led clinic registered with Healthcare Inspectorate Wales, we remove skin tags with the CryoPen, from £50.
We use the CryoPen, which freezes the skin tag with a precise jet of nitrous oxide. It takes only seconds, and because the jet is so fine, only the tag is affected.
No cutting, stitching or anaesthetic is needed. The tag turns dark at its base and drops off by itself, typically within 1 to 6 weeks.
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.
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.
Your visit begins with a free consultation. We check that the lesion is a skin tag, that freezing is the right way to remove it, and ask about your medical history.
You’ll know the price before any treatment. If we’re not sure a lesion is a skin tag, we’ll ask you to have it checked by your GP 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.

Porthcawl is a longer drive, so many clients have several tags treated at once.
Our clinic is at 10 Cowell Street in the centre of Llanelli, about 35 miles west of Porthcawl. Join the M4 at junction 37 and head west to junction 48, then take the A4138 into Llanelli. There is parking in the town centre.
The clinic is also within reach of Nottage, Newton, Pyle, Kenfig Hill and Cornelly. Appointments are short, so a visit is easy to combine with a trip into Llanelli.
For more detail, see our main skin tag removal page.
Prices start from £50 and depend on the number of skin tags. We confirm your price at the free consultation, before any treatment.
You’ll feel a short, cold sting lasting a few seconds. Most people find it very manageable without anaesthetic.
Most need just one. Tags of 3mm or larger can need a second freeze after 6 weeks.
The skin tag turns black at the base and drops off over 1 to 6 weeks.
The risk is low because the CryoPen is so precise. Occasionally, freezing leaves a lighter or darker patch of skin, which we discuss at your consultation.
There isn’t any. Most people return to work immediately.
