Skin Tags

With the use of the Skin Tags product, skin tags on the neck, under armpits and under breasts can be easily and effectively removed by freezing them through cryotherapy. Cryotherapy is a reliable freezing method that has been used by general practitioners and dermatologists for many years and is proven effective.

The product consists of a dispenser containing a cryogen (aerosol gas) and a permanently fixed applicator. With the single-use disposable foam tips, which should be replaced for each skin tag treatment, the skin tag can be tipped and frozen in a hygienic manner. The supplied protective patch, which should be applied around the skin tag before the treatment, protects the surrounding healthy skin, which allows precise treatment.

After treatment, the skin tag usually comes off the skin after 10 to 14 days and new, healthy skin becomes visible. In most cases, a single application of the Skin Tags product is sufficient to remove the skin tag.

This product is a medical device, the instructions should be read carefully before use.
