Review of underarm skin tag removal at Cheongdam Gounseon Clinic in Goyang

Introduction to Goyang Cheongdam Gounseon Clinic

Goyang Cheongdam Gounseon Clinic is a dermatology clinic located within a 3-minute walk from Hwajeong Station.

It is close to the subway station, so it is convenient for public transportation.

There is also a parking lot at the shopping center, so you can use your own car.

I believe the dermatology clinic has been around for over 10 years, but it was recently remodeled, so it feels clean and not dated at all.

Reason for visiting the hospital

I have had small skin tags in my armpits since I was young.

There was one under each armpit, and one was very small.

One was a skin tag that was small but extremely raised.

The raised skin tag was even more noticeable from the side lol

I had lived with these skin tags since childhood, so I hadn't even considered removing them. Also, since the area was my underarm, I felt a bit embarrassed to go to a dermatologist, so I just left them alone. However, I visited the clinic to get underarm hair removal. That is when I thought, "Ah, since it's the same underarm, I might as well get the skin tags removed while I'm at it!" So I decided to get the skin tag removal procedure as well.

Worries before the visit

The skin tag is unfortunately on my armpit.

I was a bit hesitant because I had seen reviews saying that since it is an area where the skin folds, there is frequent friction, and even if you remove it, it might not come off cleanly due to sweat or discoloration.

The explanation that reassured me

During the consultation before the procedure, I asked if the skin tag in my armpit could be cleanly removed. They told me that since it was on the smaller side, it could be removed cleanly, and explained that as long as I apply moisturizing cream and sunscreen properly after the procedure, it would stay in good condition.

Also, the director told me that if skin tags reappeared within a year, they would provide after-service, so I felt completely confident. When I looked at reviews for this clinic, there were many comments saying the director is really kind and meticulous, and it was definitely true!

The staff at the desk are also friendly.

Decision on procedure

I used a CO2 laser.

I heard that this is the most commonly used laser for removing skin tags or moles.

Perhaps because it was a skin tag and not a blemish or a mole, I was done after just one laser treatment.

Twist point

I went to the hospital and had the procedure done, and it was actually much simpler and easier than I expected.

The procedure took about 5 minutes, and since numbing cream was applied, there was almost no pain; it just felt like getting a slight injection. What I particularly liked was that there was no need to apply Duoderm like with regular lasers. I had heard that you usually have to wear a bandage for about two weeks after a laser treatment, so it was convenient that this didn't require that process!

And the twist is that, contrary to my worries, it was removed really, really cleanly haha.

After the removal procedure

The skin tag was removed cleanly, and it still looks clean.

Impressions after the visit

The time I spent hesitating wasn't wasted at all, and I really should have gone sooner.

I used to avoid wearing sleeveless tops, especially in the summer, because I was self-conscious about having skin tags on both of my armpits, but now that they've been removed, I can wear them comfortably.

Contrary to my worries, the skin tags were cleanly removed, and I was satisfied because nothing particularly messy was left behind. Also, the director said they would provide after-service, so I thought, "If they reappear, I can just go back!" haha, but they haven't come back.

After the procedure, I just needed to avoid saunas or strenuous exercise for about two weeks, and since post-procedure care wasn't difficult, it didn't significantly interfere with my daily life!

I heard that the armpits are prone to skin tags due to friction, so if you have any, please don't hesitate to get a consultation for the procedure. It is a really simple and effective treatment. 👍
