How Much Does Skin Tag Removal Cost in London?

Private skin tag removal in London usually costs from around £100 to £300 or more per appointment. The price depends on how many skin tags you have, their size and location, the removal method, and whether a doctor or a non-medical practitioner carries out the treatment.

At EliteSkin, removal of up to 3 skin tags costs £169 (standard price £199), done in one appointment. The price includes your consultation with a GMC-registered doctor, full removal and aftercare.

• Up to 3 skin tags, moles, warts or milia – £169 special offer (standard £199)

• Doctor's consultation, full removal and aftercare – included

• More than 3 lesions – your doctor confirms the price before treatment

You can see all our prices on the treatment prices page.

Can I Get Skin Tags Removed on the NHS?

Usually not. Skin tags are harmless, so the NHS generally treats their removal as cosmetic. If a skin tag bleeds, changes or you're unsure what a growth is, speak to your GP or have it checked by a doctor.

What Affects the Price?

• Number of skin tags – most clinics price by groups of lesions rather than one by one

• Size and location – larger tags, or tags in delicate areas, can take more time

• Who treats you – a doctor-led clinic checks every lesion before removal

• What's included – check whether the consultation and aftercare advice are part of the price

How Are Skin Tags Removed at EliteSkin?

Your doctor first checks each lesion to make sure it is a simple skin tag. Most skin tags are then removed with hyfrecation, which uses a fine probe and a low electrical current. Larger skin tags may be removed with a quick shave technique. The area is numbed with local anaesthetic first, so most people feel very little.

Your skin tags are removed in a single appointment, which usually takes 15–30 minutes, and most people go straight back to work the same day.

Healing and Aftercare

A small scab usually forms and falls away on its own within 1–2 weeks. Keep the area clean and dry, don't pick the scab, and protect it from the sun while it heals. Most skin tags heal with little or no visible mark.

Why Not Remove Skin Tags at Home?

Home kits, tying off with thread or cutting a skin tag yourself can cause bleeding, infection and scarring. It also means nobody has checked that the growth really is a skin tag. A quick doctor-led appointment is safer and usually gives a cleaner result.
