Hello.
I am Director Hwang, from Cleor Clinic Gangnam Branch.
Have you ever noticed small bumps hanging around your eyes or neck when looking closely in the mirror,
and wondered when they started to appear?
"Every time I look in the mirror, I notice small pieces of skin hanging near my eyes and neck.
They keep getting caught on my necklaces or collars, which is bothersome,
and they cannot be completely covered with makeup, so I want to get them removed."
We frequently receive inquiries like this in our consultation room.
Skin tags, formally known as acrochordons, are benign skin growths.
They tend to develop in areas where skin frequently folds or experiences repeated friction,
and are commonly observed in areas where irritation accumulates daily, such as the neck, eye area, armpits, groin, and under the breast line.
Once they start to appear, the number tends to gradually increase,
so even if individual tags are small, having several of them can affect your overall appearance.
Gangnam skin tag removal is the process of precisely clearing these skin tags using a CO2 laser.
Today, I will explain why skin tags occur, how the CO2 laser works, and what you should keep in mind for aftercare.
What is Gangnam skin tag removal?
👉 This is a procedure that uses the 10,600nm infrared energy of a CO2 laser to remove benign skin growths (skin tags) that have developed in various areas such as the neck, eye area, and armpits. The procedure is performed based on the condition and size of the lesions.
Skin tags are benign tissues that form in areas of the skin subject to repeated friction.
They are caused by a combination of factors including constitution, genetic predisposition, age, hormonal changes, and repeated friction,
so they have a tendency to increase in number over time once they start to appear.
The CO2 laser works by having its energy selectively absorbed by the moisture contained in the skin tag tissue,
vaporizing only the skin tag area immediately.
It is known for ensuring safety by minimizing damage to the surrounding normal skin tissue.
Areas where skin tags frequently appear and why
👉 Skin tags are benign growths that easily form in areas where skin folds or experiences repeated friction,
with the neck, eye area, armpits, groin, and under the breast line being the most common sites.
Neck line
This is an area frequently brushed by items like collars, necklaces, and scarves.
It is known as a representative area where skin tags are most commonly observed due to the accumulation of repeated friction.
Eye area
This is an area with thin skin and frequent facial expressions.
They tend to start small, making early detection difficult,
but as the number increases, they can affect your impression.
Armpits and groin
These are areas with high body temperature, moisture, and repeated friction.
In cases where hormonal changes or constitutional factors are involved,
they are often observed to increase in number.
Under the breast line
This is a friction area where undergarments constantly rub against the skin.
It is known as an area where factors related to body shape changes or female hormones may be involved.
Working principle of the CO2 laser method
👉 The CO2 laser is a procedure that ensures safety by using 10,600nm wavelength infrared energy, which is selectively absorbed by moisture in the tissue,
to immediately vaporize and clear only the target area.
Selective moisture absorption
The CO2 laser has a wavelength characteristic that is selectively absorbed by water molecules.
Since skin tag tissue contains moisture, energy is concentrated on these areas,
minimizing the impact on surrounding normal tissue.
Immediate vaporization method
The area where energy is absorbed is cleared by vaporizing within a short period.
Since the tissue is cleared without incisions or physical extraction, the burden of recovery is relatively low.
Precise removal with aiming beam
The CO2 laser equipment has an aiming beam function that allows for precise targeting of the affected area.
It is a method that allows for delicate, individual approaches to skin tags of various sizes and locations.
Minimal bleeding
The thermal coagulation effect of the laser energy minimizes bleeding during the procedure.
It is reported that even if there are multiple skin tags in a small area, they can be cleared in a single session.
Gangnam skin tag removal lineup
👉 At the Gangnam branch, skin tag removal is operated on a per-unit basis,
and other concerns such as milia or flat warts can also be cleared in the same session.
Since it is a lineup where moles, milia, flat warts, and skin tags can be cleared within the same CO2 laser session,
you can receive comprehensive care in a single visit.
We will examine the appropriate procedure for your specific area, number, and size during the pre-procedure consultation.
Who is a good candidate for skin tag removal?
Those who are bothered by an increasing number of small bumps on their neck or around their eyes
Those who want to remove skin tags in areas that keep getting caught on collars, necklaces, or undergarments
Those looking for care for skin tags around the eyes that cannot be covered with makeup
Those who want to remove skin tags in friction areas such as the armpits or groin
Those who want to clear multiple skin tags in a single session
Side effects of Gangnam skin tag removal and points to note in advance
👉 While Gangnam skin tag removal is a CO2 laser procedure with long-standing clinical safety, it is good to understand in advance that recovery speed and the possibility of pigmentation can vary depending on individual skin characteristics and aftercare.
Immediately after the procedure, the treated area may have
mild redness, slight swelling, or thin scabs.
These generally clear up naturally within 1 to 2 weeks.
If UV protection is insufficient after the procedure, there is a possibility of pigmentation,
so UV protection is an important part of stable recovery.
Since skin tags are a category influenced by both constitution and genetic predisposition,
they have a characteristic where they may newly appear in the same or different areas over time even after the procedure.
It is good to understand in advance that this is not a limitation of the procedure method, but a characteristic of skin tags themselves.
This is a procedure that ensures safety by proceeding after checking the area, number, and skin characteristics during a pre-consultation guided by experienced medical staff.
If any of the following apply to you, the procedure may be restricted or
prior confirmation may be required, so please inform us during your consultation.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding
If there is active herpes, infection, or wounds in the treatment area
If you have a keloid constitution or a tendency to scar easily
If you are taking photosensitive medication or have been diagnosed with specific skin diseases
If you have a history of strong peeling or laser procedures in the same area recently
⚠️ Precautions before and after skin tag removal
👉 Skin tag removal is a procedure where recovery speed and pigmentation management are influenced by pre-procedure condition preparation and post-procedure UV protection.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. Will there be scars after skin tag removal?
The CO2 laser method is a category reported to have a low burden of scarring after recovery because it precisely vaporizes only the target area.
However, the final result may vary depending on individual skin characteristics and post-procedure care (UV protection, avoiding artificial removal of scabs).
Q. Will they not grow back after removal?
Since skin tags are a category influenced by both constitution and genetic predisposition,
they have a characteristic where they may newly appear in the same or different areas over time even after the procedure.
However, since the skin tags that have already formed are cleared by the procedure, the burden in those areas is resolved.
Q. Can multiple skin tags be removed at once?
It is a lineup where multiple skin tags can be cleared within a single session.
The procedure time per tag is short, so even if there are many, you can receive comprehensive care in a single visit.
Q. How much pain is involved in skin tag removal?
Since the procedure is performed after applying numbing cream, there is not much intense pain.
You may feel a brief stinging or tingling sensation after the procedure,
which naturally subsides over time.
Q. When can I wear makeup after skin tag removal?
Light makeup is generally possible from the time the scabs on the treated area fall off naturally (usually 5 to 10 days).
While scabs remain, it is best for stable recovery not to irritate the treated area.
Q. Can I get skin tag removal together with mole, milia, and flat wart removal?
They are categories that can be cleared together in the same CO2 laser session.
Depending on the area and number, you can manage various epidermal lesions in a single procedure.
Q. How long should I manage UV protection after skin tag removal?
It is good to diligently use sunscreen for at least 4 to 6 weeks even after the treated area has fully recovered to manage pigmentation.
Especially for the neck and eye area, which are frequently exposed to daily UV rays, consistent care is important.
Skin tags are benign tissues formed by a combination of friction, constitution, and genetic predisposition.
They are the background for why you might be bothered by bumps around your eyes that cannot be covered with makeup or that keep getting caught on necklaces or collars.
Gangnam skin tag removal is a procedure that precisely clears only the target area by utilizing the characteristic that the 10,600nm infrared wavelength of the CO2 laser is selectively absorbed by moisture in the tissue.
