Doctor-led skin tag removal in Marylebone, London. Quick, precise removal of skin tags, milia and minor blemishes by diathermy. From £375. Book today.
A skin tag that catches on a collar, a necklace or a razor is a small thing that quickly becomes a daily irritation. Skin tag removal at Dr Joney De Souza Clinic in Marylebone is for anyone bothered by these soft, harmless growths, along with similar minor blemishes such as milia. Tags favour areas where skin rubs against skin or clothing, so the neck, underarms and eyelids are common sites. If a tag snags, rubs or simply knocks your confidence when you look in the mirror, it can be removed cleanly in a medical setting.
This treatment is equally suited to people who have tried to ignore a tag for months and to those who want several dealt with in one sitting. What it will not do is stop new tags forming elsewhere in the future, since some people are naturally more prone to them, and it is not a treatment for moles or any lesion that looks unusual. Anything that needs closer attention is flagged at your assessment rather than simply removed.
Skin tag removal is a quick, precise procedure to lift away harmless tags and minor blemishes under medical supervision. At our Marylebone clinic the usual method is diathermy, which uses controlled heat to remove the tag cleanly at its base while protecting the skin around it. Each lesion is checked before anything is treated, so you are dealing with a genuine skin tag and not something that warrants a different plan.

Diathermy is the method used most often for skin tags, and it works by delivering precise, controlled heat to the base of the tag so it lifts away cleanly. The energy is targeted tightly at the tag itself, which means the surrounding skin stays protected and the risk of marking is kept low. The procedure is fast, and several tags can usually be treated in a single visit depending on their size and where they sit. Before anything is treated, your practitioner confirms that each lesion is a harmless skin tag.
Your treatment begins with a consultation at Dr Joney De Souza Clinic in Marylebone, where your practitioner examines each lesion and confirms it is a harmless skin tag before treating anything. If a spot looks unusual, you are advised on the appropriate next step rather than having it removed on the day. This medical check is exactly why a doctor-led setting matters for something that looks minor. You leave with a clear plan for what will be treated.
On the day, the area around the tags is gently cleansed. A local anaesthetic can be applied for comfort, which is especially useful on more sensitive sites. Preparation takes only a few minutes. You simply relax while the area is made ready.
The tag is then removed using diathermy, which applies precise, controlled heat to its base so it lifts away cleanly. The energy is targeted tightly, so the treatment is both quick and accurate. Several tags can usually be treated in a single visit. Delicate areas such as the eyelids are handled with particular care.
Diathermy is precise enough to treat only the tag while leaving the surrounding skin protected. This keeps any mark to a minimum and helps the area heal cleanly. Small tags typically heal with little or no visible trace. Your practitioner works carefully with the cosmetic result in mind.
Downtime is minimal, so most people return to normal activities straight away. A small scab may form at each treated point and settles over a few days. You are given simple aftercare to support clean healing. Work and social plans can carry on as usual.
Once a tag is removed it does not grow back, so most people need only one session. New tags can form elsewhere over time, since some people are simply more prone to them. Any new tags can be treated as they appear. Realistic expectations are set for you at your consultation.
From your first consultation through to your results, here is what to expect at our Marylebone clinic.
Your skin tag removal journey begins with a consultation at Dr Joney De Souza Clinic in Marylebone, where your practitioner assesses the tags, confirms the treatment is right for you and plans the session. You are told exactly what to expect and any questions are answered. In most cases no special preparation is needed. You leave with a clear, personalised plan.
On the day, the area is prepared and your skin tag removal is carried out, which typically takes 15 to 30 minutes. Most people find it comfortable and straightforward. Your practitioner works methodically across each tag for a clean, even result. You can return to your day straight afterwards.
Afterwards, any mild redness or tenderness settles quickly, with little to no downtime. A small scab may form at each treated point and fades over a few days, leaving skin that looks clear rather than obviously worked on. You are given full aftercare guidance before you leave. Advice on managing any future tags is offered too, since new ones can appear over time.
Skin tag removal looks minor, and that is precisely why it should be done by a qualified medical professional who can first confirm the lesion is harmless. At Dr Joney De Souza Clinic a GMC-registered doctor checks each spot, removes it precisely and advises if anything needs closer attention rather than treating it blindly. Carried out by Dr Joney De Souza or a member of our clinical team. Your consultation is with Dr Joney De Souza or Dr Mattia Parducci.
Delicate areas such as the eyelids are treated with particular care, and the whole approach reflects a philosophy built on restraint and a clean result.
“My ‘less is more’ approach has become the mainstay of my practice and clients appreciate that they will have natural looking results”

Once any tags or blemishes have been removed, a HydraFacial is a gentle way to cleanse, exfoliate and refresh the skin for an all-round glow. Many patients pair the two for clearer, healthier-looking skin. If you would like to give your complexion a lift after treatment, it is well worth exploring.
Skin tag removal raises a handful of common questions: whether it hurts, whether it scars, how many tags can be treated in one go and whether the face and eyelids are safe. The answers below cover what patients ask most.

Yes. Skin tags around the face, neck and eyelids are common, and they can be treated, though delicate areas such as the eyelids need particular care and an experienced medical practitioner. This is exactly why a doctor-led setting matters for these sites. Your practitioner assesses the location and confirms the safest approach. For broader concerns like uneven texture or pigmentation, other options can be discussed at the same visit.

Had my second session of PRP with micro needling today and I am so far very happy with my results. Dr De Souza is just the kindest man who really has the best intentions for you.
I highly recommend Dr. Joney and his clinic. I have been his patient for many years and he is definitely one of the best. His work is natural and subtle, he always puts the patient’s interest first and will never try to upsell unnecessary treatments.
Dr Joney is the most wonderful Dr, kind and caring and highly experienced. I feel safe in his care and trust his opinion 100%.
