Skin Tag Removal in Richmond Hill
Skin tag removal in Richmond Hill, done by one specialist. Forouz Beauty removes skin tags at 330 Hwy 7, Unit 512 with an electrolysis pen — not a laser. Every treatment is done personally by Forouzan Ghandi, and every visit starts with a look at the skin tag and an honest answer on whether it is something we can treat here.
A skin tag is a small, soft, harmless growth that hangs off the skin, most often on the neck, eyelids, underarms or in skin folds. Many people have theirs removed because it rubs on clothing or jewellery, catches when shaving, or simply because they do not like how it looks.

How skin tag removal works
The electrolysis pen has a very fine needle at its tip that heats up. The tip is applied to the skin tag and the heat destroys it. It is not a laser. Dermatologists call this method electrodesiccation; the American Academy of Dermatology describes it as using a tiny needle to destroy the skin tag, leaving a scab that heals in about one to three weeks.
Straight after the treatment the spot may look red or have a small scab. We give you aftercare instructions to follow at home, and the best thing you can do is leave the scab alone.
When removal makes sense
Skin tags are harmless, so removing one is a choice. The usual reasons are:
- It rubs or catches — on clothing, jewellery, a seat belt, or when shaving.
- It gets irritated or bleeds — tell us, and tell your doctor if it happens often.
- You do not like how it looks — on the neck, underarms or face, where they are most visible.
We will not promise a particular result before we have seen the skin tag. If what you have is not clearly a skin tag, or would be better looked at by a doctor, we will tell you at the consultation.
Skin tags and moles are not the same thing
A skin tag is soft and hangs from the skin on a small stalk. A mole is a different kind of growth. Any spot that is new, has changed in size, colour or shape, bleeds without cause, itches or is painful should be checked by a doctor before anything is done to it. If you bring something to the consultation and we are not confident it is a skin tag, we will ask you to see a doctor first.
Coming from Markham, Vaughan, Thornhill or North York
The studio is at 330 Hwy 7, Unit 512, Richmond Hill, on the Highway 7 corridor, open Monday to Saturday, 10:00 to 17:00. Call or text first so we can book a consultation time that suits you.
The American Academy of Dermatology’s guide to skin tags explains that they are harmless, when removal is worth considering, and how electrodesiccation works and heals. DermNet’s overview of skin tags covers what they are and the ways they are removed for cosmetic reasons. Healing varies from person to person, and no honest studio will promise you a particular result.
How we
work
Learn our work process.
Consultation
We look at the skin tag, ask about your health and what bothers you about it, and agree whether it can be treated here. If it needs a doctor first, we say so.
Skin Tag Treatment
The skin tag is treated with the fine tip of the electrolysis pen, by Forouzan herself. It is an electrolysis pen, not a laser.
Healing & Aftercare
You go home with aftercare instructions. A small scab forms, which commonly heals within one to three weeks.
What to Expect, by Situation
| Situation | What we do |
|---|---|
| A small, soft skin tag on a stalk | Usually suitable: treated with the electrolysis pen after a look at it |
| Several skin tags in the same area | We agree a plan at the consultation, which may be one visit or more than one |
| A skin tag that rubs, catches or bleeds | A common reason to have one removed — tell us at the consultation |
| A skin tag on or very close to the eyelid | Yes, we treat these too. If we are not confident it is a skin tag, we ask you to see a doctor first |
| A growth that has changed in size, colour or shape, or is painful | See a doctor first — we do not treat it |
| Not sure whether it is a skin tag | Show us at the consultation; if we are not confident, we ask you to see a doctor |
These are typical patterns, not promises — the plan comes from the consultation, once we have seen the skin tag.

At Forouz Beauty, 330 Hwy 7, Unit 512, Richmond Hill. Forouzan Ghandi does every treatment herself. Book a consultation on 647-970-3101.
How are skin tags removed at Forouz Beauty, and is it laser?
Skin tags are removed with an electrolysis pen, not a laser. The pen has a very fine needle at its tip that heats up and destroys the skin tag. Dermatologists call this method electrodesiccation.
Does skin tag removal hurt?
How it feels varies from person to person and depends on the size and position of the skin tag. Tell us how you are feeling during the treatment, and ask at your consultation what to expect for yours.
What happens after skin tag removal?
A small scab forms on the treated spot. The American Academy of Dermatology says the scab after this kind of treatment heals in about one to three weeks. Keep the area clean, do not pick at the scab, and follow the aftercare instructions we give you.
Can skin tags come back?
A skin tag that has been treated is removed, but new skin tags can form, especially in skin folds such as the neck and underarms. If you are prone to them, a new one is not a sign that the treatment failed.
Do I need to have a skin tag removed?
No. Skin tags are harmless, and the American Academy of Dermatology says removal is only needed if one becomes irritated or bleeds, affects your eyesight on the eyelid, or becomes painful. Many people have theirs removed for cosmetic reasons, or because it keeps catching on jewellery, clothing or when shaving.
Is a skin tag the same as a mole?
No. A skin tag is soft and hangs from the skin on a small stalk; a mole is a different kind of growth. A mole that is new or has changed in size, colour or shape should be checked by a doctor. If you are not sure which one you have, ask at the consultation.
How much does skin tag removal cost in Richmond Hill?
We do not publish a price yet. The cost depends on the number and size of the skin tags, so we quote at the consultation. Call or text 647-970-3101.
