Skin Tag Treatment in Toronto| Professional Removal at DLK

Those small, soft pieces of skin that appear on your neck or underarms are called skin tags, and they're incredibly common. In fact, about half of all adults will develop at least one skin tag during their lifetime.

At DLK on Avenue, we understand that even though skin tags are harmless, you might want them removed for comfort or appearance. Our team of expert dermatologists offers safe, non-invasive treatments to help you say goodbye to bothersome skin tags.

Here's everything you need to know about skin tag removal at DLK on Avenue.

That annoying skin tag might be bothering you, but please don't try to remove it yourself! Cutting, pulling, or trying home remedies can lead to infection, scarring, or worse. Instead, let the experts at DLK on Avenue help you with our professional Skin Tag Removal Program.

We've developed a comprehensive approach to taking care of this problem. It combines various proven techniques to remove skin tags quickly and painlessly. Better yet, our dermatologists for skin tags perform a complete skin health check to catch any potential issues early.

Don't panic when we tell you this, but skin tags are technically tumours – benign, harmless tumours that pose no threat to your health. Their fancy medical name is "acrochordons," but they're simply extra bits of skin that hang off your body by a thin stalk.

These little flesh-colored tags often show up where your skin folds or rubs together. Think neck creases, armpits, eyelids, and similar spots. They're made of normal skin tissue, including collagen and blood vessels, and usually don't hurt at all. Many people don't even notice they have skin tags unless they catch them in the mirror or feel them when getting dressed.

While they are harmless, many people choose to remove them—especially if they're in visible areas or get irritated by clothing or jewelry. While anyone can get skin tags at any time, they become more common as we age.

Skin tags can be distinguished from other common skin growths like warts and moles. Warts are rough and bumpy and are caused by a virus. Moles tend to be darker and flatter. Skin tags are soft and usually match your skin color.

Understanding skin tag causes and why skin tags appear is the first step to finding a solution. Formation begins at the cellular level. Skin tags develop when the body produces excess skin cells in the upper layers of the dermis. When this happens in areas where skin meets skin, you might end up with a skin tag.

Here's what can trigger their formation:

Friction from clothing or skin-to-skin contact: Think of places where your skin rubs together or against clothing all day. This constant friction can stimulate extra skin growth in these areas.
Hormonal changes: As often seen during pregnancy or menopause. When your hormones are out of balance, they can boost growth factors in your body. These growth factors sometimes lead to extra skin cell production.
Insulin resistance or diabetes: When your body becomes less sensitive to insulin, it can trigger skin changes. This includes the development of skin tags, which is why people with diabetes often notice more of them.
Genetic factors: Look at your family tree! If your parents have skin tags, you might be more likely to develop them, too. It's just another thing we can blame on our genes.

When you visit DLK on Avenue, we'll start with a thorough examination to understand your skin tags better. We'll ask about their location, whether you've noticed others nearby, and if they get irritated during your daily activities.

During our examination, we look for the classic signs: small, flesh-coloured growths that feel soft to the touch and don't cause pain.

Understanding why your skin tags appear helps us prevent new ones from forming. Maybe it's that necklace that rubs against your neck all day, or perhaps it runs in your family. Whatever the cause, we'll help you identify it and develop strategies to minimize future growth.

While skin tags are a natural part of life for many people, there are ways to reduce your chances of developing new ones.

Keeping your skin clean and dry, especially in areas where it folds, can help reduce friction that might lead to skin tags. If you have diabetes, managing your blood sugar levels isn't just good for your overall health – it might help prevent new skin tags too.

Remember, these tips are part of a healthy lifestyle that benefits your whole body, not just your skin. Regular check-ups with your dermatologist can catch any new skin tags early, making them easier to treat.

As benign as they are, let's face it – skin tags can be annoying and might make you feel self-conscious. Thankfully, they're one of the easier skin concerns to treat, especially with the advanced techniques we offer at DLK on Avenue.
