Everything You Need to Know About Skin Tags & How Potentia Medspa Can Help

What Are Skin Tags?
Skin tags are small, soft, flesh-colored growths that hang off the skin. Typically benign, they appear in areas where skin tends to rub against skin, like the neck, underarms, eyelids, and groin. Although painless, skin tags can sometimes become irritated and affect confidence, especially if they’re in visible areas.

What Causes Skin Tags?
Skin tags form when clusters of collagen and blood vessels become trapped inside thicker pieces of skin. While the exact causes aren’t always clear, certain factors increase the likelihood of developing them:

1. Friction: Skin tags commonly form in areas with skin-on-skin friction.

2. Hormonal Changes: Hormonal shifts, such as during pregnancy, can increase the likelihood of developing skin tags.

3. Genetics: Some people are naturally more prone to skin tags due to genetics.

4. Age: Skin tags are more common in middle-aged and older adults.

5. Underlying Health Conditions: Conditions like obesity, diabetes, and hormonal imbalances can also contribute to the formation of skin tags.

How We Remove Skin Tags at Potentia Medspa
At Potentia Medspa, we specialize in non-surgical skin tag removal using advanced techniques like Natur-Free. Unlike traditional methods, which might involve cutting or cauterizing, Natur-Free uses plasma energy to target and safely eliminate skin tags. Here’s what makes our approach unique:

1. Plasma-Based Precision with Natur-Free
Natur-Free delivers plasma energy to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin tag. This method is gentle, precise, and effective, allowing for a targeted approach that minimizes the chance of scarring. The plasma energy stimulates the natural healing response, helping skin renew itself post-removal.

2. Minimal Discomfort & Downtime
Our plasma-based approach is virtually painless, and we apply numbing cream before the treatment to ensure maximum comfort. Most clients experience minimal downtime and can return to daily activities quickly.

3. Safe for Sensitive Areas
Unlike other treatments, Natur-Free is suitable for even the most delicate areas, including the eyelids, neck and groin. The controlled nature of plasma energy means we can treat skin tags on any skin type with precision.

4. Safe for all Skin types
We prioritize individualized treatment plans, ensuring that each client’s skin type and needs are fully considered. From lighter skin Fitz 1 to dark-skinned Fitz 6, we’ve got you covered.

5. Treat 1 to 100
If you have many skin tags, not to worry. We can treat 1 to over 100!
