Where to get skin tag removal in Teesside
If you’re looking for skin tag removal in Teesside, my clinic is at 283 Acklam Road in Middlesbrough. I’m Helena, a former paramedic with VTCT Level 4 training in advanced electrolysis, and I welcome clients from Stockton, Thornaby, Redcar and the towns in between. Skin tags don’t need a patch test. So once we’ve talked it through at your free consultation, I can usually treat them at that same visit.
Why have a skin tag removed?
A skin tag is a small, soft flap of skin. They turn up on the neck, under the arms, around the eyelids and under the bust, anywhere skin rubs on skin or clothing. Most are harmless. People usually decide to have one taken off because it keeps catching on a necklace, a collar or a bra strap, or because they’d rather not see it in the mirror every morning.
I use advanced electrolysis, which you may also hear called diathermy. It’s chosen for small skin tags because there’s no blade and no stitches, and it suits delicate spots like the eyelids. If you have a few, I can usually treat several in the same appointment. You can read more about the treatment itself on my skin tag removal in Middlesbrough page.
What your appointment is like
Usually under half an hour
Between 10 and 30 minutes, depending on how many tags we’re treating and how big they are.
A warm, tingling feeling
That’s how most people describe it. Nothing is cut, and I explain each step as we go.
Around 10 days to settle
Small marks normally fade in about 10 days. Bigger tags can take up to 2 months.
A check at 2 months
You go home with aftercare advice and a calming gel or powder if you need one. Then I see you again for a quick check 2 months later.
Moles are different. I never treat a mole as if it were a skin tag, and I only treat one with written confirmation from your GP. If something on your skin is changing, or you can’t tell what it is, ask your GP to look at it before you book.
What you get with every appointment
Whichever treatment you choose, this is how I work, from your first message to your check-up.
Medically trained hands
I worked as a paramedic before I trained in skin. I hold VTCT Level 4.
A free consultation
We talk first, and I only go ahead if it’s right for you.
No blade, no stitches
I use a hair-fine probe and gentle heat instead.
Little or no downtime
Most people carry on with their day straight afterwards.
Clear aftercare
Easy steps to follow at home, with a calming gel or powder when it helps.
A private, unhurried room
It’s one to one, just you and me, and nobody rushes you.
How I use advanced electrolysis on a skin tag
We talk it through
At your free consultation I look at the tag, make sure it isn’t a mole, and tell you what to expect. If it isn’t suitable, I’ll tell you so.
A sterile, hair-fine probe
I rest a very fine, sterile probe on the tag. Nothing is cut, so there are no stitches to come out later.
Gentle, controlled heat
A small amount of heat goes into the tag itself, not the healthy skin next to it. Most people only notice a little warmth.
Home with aftercare
Over the following days the treated tag normally dries and comes off by itself. Follow your aftercare advice while it settles, and message me if anything worries you.

Questions people ask about skin tag removal in Teesside
Where is the clinic?
I’m at The House on Acklam Road in Middlesbrough, postcode TS5 7BP, close to the traffic lights. Parking outside is free for up to two hours.
Can I come in after work?
Yes. I’m open weekdays from 10am to 4pm, and evening appointments from 4pm to 7pm can be arranged. Message me and we’ll find a time that suits you.
Can my skin tag be treated at my first visit?
Usually, yes. Skin tags don’t need a patch test, so in most cases I can treat them straight after your free consultation.
How much does it cost?
£40 covers up to five small skin tags. For six or more, I’ll give you a price at the consultation, before anything is treated. There’s no deposit, and every price is on my prices page.
Who will treat me?
I will. I’m Helena. I used to be a paramedic, I’m VTCT Level 4 qualified, and I’ve been working with skin for more than two decades.
Is there an age limit?
Yes. I only treat adults aged 18 and over.
What about tags near my eyes?
Eyelids are one of the places advanced electrolysis is chosen for, because the probe is so fine. I’ll check yours closely when we meet and only treat it if it’s suitable.
Could a skin tag grow back after treatment?
A tag I’ve treated doesn’t usually return in the same place. New ones can still appear in other spots over the years, and I’m happy to see you again if they do.
Do you treat other blemishes as well?
Yes. I also use advanced electrolysis for milia, thread veins, age spots, seborrhoeic keratosis, warts and verrucas. Mention them at your consultation and I’ll tell you what’s suitable.
How do I book?
Send me a WhatsApp message or call 07947 705302, or use the form on my contact page. I’ll get back to you to arrange your free consultation.
Do I need my GP to refer me?
No, not for a skin tag. You can book with me directly. The only time I ask for a letter is for a mole, which I’ll only treat with written confirmation from your GP.
Is skin tag removal available on the NHS?
Not usually. The NHS doesn’t normally remove skin tags for cosmetic reasons. If you’re worried a growth might not be a skin tag, please see your GP first.
Can I go straight back to work afterwards?
Most people do. There’s no cutting, so you can usually carry on with your day as normal.
