Is there a medical reason for removing skin tags? Do they pose a risk to me?

Generally, skin tags are harmless and do not pose a risk. However, they can become irritated, infected, or bleed if they are frequently rubbed or scratched. While they are benign, removing them can prevent irritation and potential complications from constant friction.

I’m absolutely delighted with my results! From the initial consultation, Nurse Jane took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I understood the different options available. I really appreciated how she listened to what I wanted and recommended the treatment that was best suited to me. I felt completely comfortable and in very safe hands throughout. The results are fantastic - subtle, natural and exactly what I was hoping for. I’m so pleased and would highly recommend Nurse Jane to anyone considering a treatment.

Having never had any treatments before, I had NeoGen and Botox over the last few months. Jane was amazing! I was quite nervous but she really put me at ease and she explains everything really well. Jane recommended a skincare treatment which has honestly been life changing! I'm incredibly happy with the results and will definitely be back soon!

I would just like to share after researching lots and lots regarding facial laser and other non surgical treatments. I found Dr Joe to be remarkably honest with a thorough listening to assessment. He was genuinely interested in my story, concerns and opinions. It wasn’t about any hard sell at all. I felt completely at ease and felt I could at last trust someone. So far I have had one Neogen treatment and two Derma V treatments. The aftercare is superb. And can always get a response to any query or concerns. I sincerely and wholly recommend Medfacials to anyone that has been disillusioned with the beauty industry. Medfacials is totally trustworthy 💯 Wendy
