Skin Tag Removal
Skin tag removal is a common medical procedure used to eliminate benign (non-cancerous) skin growths through various methods such as freezing, cutting, or burning. These small, flesh-colored or brown growths can appear anywhere on the body and usually don't cause pain or discomfort but may be removed for cosmetic reasons or due to irritation from clothing.
In Portugal:
Skin tag removal is a simple procedure involving local anesthesia or cryotherapy to eliminate benign skin growths. Portugal's private clinics offer this treatment for approximately €50-€200 per tag.
Additional:
Portugal's healthcare system combines public and private sectors, ensuring affordability and accessibility. Waiting times for elective procedures in the public sector may range from 1 to 3 weeks.
