Skin Tag Removal in London, Ontario
Gentle, Quick Removal of Bothersome Skin Tags
Skin tags are small, soft growths that often show up on the neck, eyelids, underarms or under bra straps. They are harmless, but they can catch on jewellery, rub on clothing, or just bother you. At Kontour Medical Aesthetics, our nurse practitioner removes benign skin tags in one short visit, with no downtime.
Every skin tag is checked before it comes off. If a spot does not look like a simple skin tag, we will tell you and suggest that you see your family doctor first. Skin tag removal is one of our medical skincare services.
- What It Is
What a Skin Tag Is, and What It Is Not
A skin tag is a small flap of soft skin that hangs from the surface. It is usually skin coloured or a little darker, and it does not hurt. Skin tags are common, and they are not cancer.
They tend to show up where skin rubs against skin or clothing. They are more common as we get older and during pregnancy.
A spot needs a closer look before removal if it:
- Has changed in size, shape or colour
- Bleeds or crusts, or will not heal
- Feels hard, flat or fixed in place
- Is dark with uneven edges
- Showed up quickly and is getting bigger
- How It Works
How Skin Tag Removal Works
Removal is a small, minimally invasive procedure done by our nurse practitioner. We choose the method based on the size and spot of each tag, and the visit takes about 30 minutes. You may have a small mark for a few days while the skin heals.

Healing
The small mark fades as the skin heals over the next days.- Healing
Most people go back to their day right after. The spot may look a little pink or have a small scab for a few days. Leave it alone and let it heal.
A removed skin tag does not come back in the same spot. New tags can form in other places over time, and we can remove those too.
- Aftercare
- Wash the area gently and pat it dry for the first day.
- Do not pick at a scab.
- Try not to let clothing or jewellery rub the spot.
- Call us if redness spreads, or you see swelling or pus.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does skin tag removal hurt?
Most people find it quick and easy. We tell you what to expect before we start.
Will the skin tag grow back?
A removed skin tag does not come back in the same spot. New tags can form in other places over time.
Can you remove skin tags near my eyes?
Tags on the eyelids need extra care. We look at the spot first and tell you plainly if it is one we can remove safely at the clinic.
How many skin tags can you remove in one visit?
It depends on their size and where they are. Tell us how many you have when you book, and we will plan your visit around it.
Is skin tag removal covered by OHIP?
No. Removing skin tags for looks or comfort is a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by OHIP.
Can you remove a mole too?
We offer mole removal as a separate booking. Every mole is checked first, and some need a doctor to look at them before anything is done.
