How to Remove Skin Tags at Home Safely – A Step-by-Step Guide

Removing skin tags at home can be safe, effective, and painless — especially with the right tools. In this guide, Dr. Amanda from Ylemos® details how to use the updated 2‑in‑1 Skin Tag Removal Kit safely, including both micro- and regular-size applicators.


🧰 What’s Included in the 2‑in‑1 Kit

  • Primary removal device with regular-size applicator (2–8 mm tags)
  • Micro-size applicator for small tags (2–4 mm)
  • Sets of micro & regular rubber ligation bands
  • Sterile alcohol pads & cone applicators
  • Detailed instruction guide

🧼 Step-by-Step Instructions

1️⃣ Select Your Applicator

Choose micro-scale for tags ≤4 mm, or regular applicator for larger tags (up to 8 mm). This precise sizing ensures safe removal without damaging surrounding skin.

2️⃣ Clean & Prepare

Use included alcohol pad to wipe the skin area thoroughly. Pat dry.

3️⃣ Apply the Band

Attach the correct cone applicator to the device, roll the rubber ligation band onto the skin tag’s base, then remove the cone.

📌 This cuts off blood flow, leading to natural dehydration and shedding.

4️⃣ Monitor Progress

Check daily. Tags typically darken and fall off within 7–15 days. Replace the band if it slips.


⚠️ Precautions

  • Not for use on moles, warts, or cancerous growths
  • Avoid eyelid or mucous areas
  • Not recommended for rubber allergy sufferers
  • If no change by day 15, discontinue use

👩⚕️ Dr. Amanda’s Insight

"Using the correct applicator size is key – it helps ensure the band tightens properly without affecting healthy skin. Patience is just as important."
