Skin tags are small pieces of hanging skin that generally appear on the eyelids, neck, shoulders and armpits. They may also appear in the groin area. Ranging in colour from dark brown to the same shade as the rest of your skin, they may result from hormonal changes or exist due to genetics.

They are not considered harmful, but may become troublesome if they are large. Large skin tags, the size of a grape, can get caught in clothing or zippers. Skin tags can also be viewed as unattractive blemishes.

Skin tags can be effectively removed by The StarLux 500 laser. Laser removal of skin tags currently results in the least amount of scarring when compared to other forms of skin tag removal techniques.
