Acne is a common skin disorder that affects most people at some point in their lives. Acne most commonly develops on areas of the body that contain a lot of sebaceous glands (oil) glands like the face, neck, chest, back and shoulders. Acne usually begins (and is most common) at puberty, but many adults also develop the condition.
Acne is caused by excess sebum production, leading to clogged hair follicles and inflammation. The normally harmless P. acnes bacteria can become aggressive, triggering pus and redness. However, not all strains are harmful—P. acnes defendens actually supports a healthy skin biome.
If you’re looking for treatments to help control your acne, book a consultation to come and discuss your concerns. We will offer expert advice, answer your questions and recommend the right course of treatment for you.
Skin tags are small growths on the skin that are usually skin-colored or slightly brown. They have a soft texture and are movable to the touch. These common, non-contagious lesions can vary in size and are frequently found on the neck, underarms, groin area, and under the breasts. Studies show that women are more likely to develop skin tags than men.
Most patients report minimal discomfort during the cryotherapy procedure. The use of nitrous oxide gas provides a cooling effect that numbs the area, significantly reducing pain sensations. While you may feel a brief stinging or cold sensation during the treatment, it is generally well-tolerated. Afterward, some mild redness or swelling may occur, but these effects typically resolve quickly.
Skin tags usually do not go away on their own. While they are harmless, they can persist or multiply over time, especially for individuals prone to their development. Professional removal at Finesse Skin Clinic is the most effective way to address skin tags and prevent new ones from forming.
At Finesse Skin Clinic, we frequently treat skin tags located in areas prone to friction, such as the neck, underarms, thighs and under the breasts. Other areas treated include the eye lids and the groin region. Our cryotherapy treatment is highly effective for removing skin tags from these common areas safely and efficiently. If you have skin tags in any of these locations, we invite you to schedule a consultation to discuss your options.
Cryotherapy is generally safe, with minimal side effects. After treatment, you may experience redness, swelling, or slight blistering at the site, but these effects are temporary and resolve within a few days. Following the aftercare instructions provided will ensure proper healing and help minimise any discomfort.
The treated cells will shrivel and die and be replaced by healthy cells which work their way to the surface of the skin between 2-6 weeks later.
At Finesse Skin Clinic the price for skin tag removal is dependent upon the number of skin tags to be removed and their size and the amount of gas required. The starting price is £90. This would treat approx 5 small skin tags.
