Skin Tag Removal
Professional, Comfortable, and Reliable Care
Reclaim your confidence and comfort with expert Melbourne skin tag treatment at Advanced Skin Doctors. Skin tags are small, benign growths that often appear in areas where skin rubs together, such as the neck, armpits, or groin. While harmless, they can lead to irritation, discomfort, or self-consciousness, especially when located in prominent areas.
Beyond aesthetics, professional removal ensures a thorough evaluation by a skilled doctor, ruling out any potential skin cancer concerns. Our team provides accurate assessments and personalised care, helping you achieve smooth, healthy skin with peace of mind.
What Are Skin Tags?
Skin tags are small, benign growths that typically range in size from 1mm to 5cm. Commonly appearing in areas where skin folds or experiences friction, such as the neck, armpits, or groin, they are often a result of ageing or skin rubbing against clothing. While non-threatening, skin tags should always be assessed by a professional to rule out any potential underlying concerns before removal.

The Skin Tag Removal Process
At Advanced Skin Doctors, we specialise in skin tag removal in Melbourne, ensuring safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatments. Our experienced skin cancer doctors combine advanced technology with a patient-centred approach to deliver exceptional care tailored to your needs.
Personalised Assessment
Every removal begins with a professional evaluation to confirm the growth is a benign skin tag and not something more concerning. While skin tags are generally harmless, some skin growths that can resemble skin tags may have the potential to become cancerous. Periodic checks during a skin cancer screening are essential to rule out any risks and ensure your skin health remains a priority.
Removal Techniques
We provide various minimally invasive options for removing skin tags in Melbourne, tailored to suit individual needs:
Ellman Pelleve Electrosurgery
This advanced method uses radiofrequency electrocautery to remove skin tags with exceptional precision. The procedure minimises damage to surrounding tissue while effectively cauterising blood vessels to reduce bleeding and inflammation. Local anaesthetic ensures your comfort throughout the process, and recovery is swift with little to no downtime.
Excisional Biopsy
This surgical method completely removes the skin tag and a small margin of healthy tissue, ensuring the lesion is thoroughly extracted. This approach also allows for laboratory testing, providing an added layer of assurance.
Cryotherapy
A non-invasive technique where liquid nitrogen freezes the skin tag. The lesion forms a scab or blister before naturally falling off. For larger or more persistent tags, additional sessions may be necessary.
For patients with other skin concerns, including warts, our clinics offer professional wart removal. While skin tags are soft, flesh-coloured growths often found in skin folds, warts are caused by a virus and have a rougher texture. Understanding these differences ensures you receive the appropriate treatment for your specific needs.
Post-Removal Care and Follow-Up
After your skin tag treatment in Melbourne, we provide comprehensive aftercare support to ensure a smooth recovery:

Ellman Pellevé
Enhancing Cosmetic Skin Lesion Removal with Ellman Pellevé Electrosurgery
The Ellman Pelleve is a Radio-Frequency (RF) electrosurgical tool used to remove benign raised skin lesions for cosmetic purposes. Moles, warts, seborrheic keratoses, skin tags, and other suitable benign skin lesions can be removed this way.
- Your doctor will determine if the lesion is suitable for this treatment.
- In some cases, a mole may contain deeper pigmentation, requiring a minor surgical procedure to ensure complete removal
- A small dose of local anesthetic is infiltrated into the skin under the lesion.
- Removal generally takes a matter of minutes.
- The area may remain reddened and require dressings for up to 7-10 days.
- Your doctor and nurse will discuss post-procedure skin care with you.
The benefits of Ellman Pellevé RF removal include:
- Less bleeding, swelling, and scarring compared to scalpel removal
- Improved cosmetic outcome as nearby normal skin is mostly unaffected
- Higher safety profile than scalpel removal due to the reduced risk of infection
- No requirement for sutures
- Excised tissue can still be sent for histopathology, although Ellman Pellevé is NOT generally used for excision biopsy of suspected skin cancers
