All About Skin Tags
Skin tags are small, soft skin growths with a stalk-like attachment. Often found on the neck, underarms, and areas prone to friction, they are generally harmless and painless. While not cancerous, skin tags can be irritating or cosmetically bothersome, leading many people to seek removal.
Causes of Skin Tags
The exact cause of skin tags remains unclear, but several factors are believed to play a role:
Friction: Friction from clothing or skin rubbing together can contribute to skin tag development.
Hormonal Changes: Fluctuations in hormone levels during pregnancy or with certain health conditions like obesity or type 2 diabetes may be linked to skin tags.
Genetics: Some individuals may be genetically predisposed to developing skin tags.

Understanding Skin Tags: Causes, Removal Options & Why Choose Professional Care
Knowing Kay was a qualified nurse put me at ease when getting my semi-permanent eyeliner done. She took time to explain the process and aftercare and her salon was spotless without being clinical. I was so impressed by the results that i booked in to get a lash lift and tint too. My morning routine is now so much quicker!

I have the Vitamin B12 injections, I heard good things about the treatment so gave it a try and I’m glad I did. Doing a manual job in all weathers can be tiring but this has definitely given me a boost, more energy it’s great. Kay knows her stuff, I went to her as she’s a nurse. She’s very professional and friendly. Wouldn’t go to anyone else now
