Effective, Pain Free Treatment
We offer skin tag removal with liquid nitrogen, part of a family of treatments called cryotherapy. This is a popular and evidence based treatment for skin tags. Part of the reason it is so popular is that it required no surgery and no injections!
In fact, it should be completely pain free. People often call it “freezing therapy”, because all it involves is spraying a cold liquid onto the base of the skin tag. The only discomfort you should feel is a cold sensation on the area, which is to be expected (the spray is around -200°C, after all!).
If you are interested, bookings can be made quickly over the phone, or instantly online.
Practitioners you can trust
All of our staff are fully qualified and insured professionals. Our nurse treatments are carried out by Diane Mason, who has spent 15 years as a dermatology nurse and performed countless liquid nitrogen treatments in that time.
If, on the other hand, you choose to see a dermatologist, Dr Bassam will treat you personally. He is the owner and medical director at Alternatives Clinic. We believe that quality healthcare should be affordable for everyone, so even treatments with Dr Zeina are competitively priced compared to nurse treatments elsewhere.

Had a skin tag removed that was in a delicate position near my eye. Diane clearly explained the process and proceeded without fuss and in a very friendly, positive way. Half the tag dropped off the next day and it's looking likely the rest of it will fall off in the next day or so (so about 10 days after treatment) I had a Seborrheic Keratosis about the size of my thumbnail on my face. Due to the size it took 2 treatments but has now completely gone. Very happy with the results. Dr Zeina was as lovely as always. Very professional, experienced, informative, knowledgeable and very gentle. He always wants the best for you and encourages you to look natural. Visited Alternatives Clinic to be treated for a Seb Kerratosis which had annoyed me for 8 years and become unsightly on the side of my nose.Visited Diane Mason who treated me with liquid nitrogen freezing.The scab fell off today only 5 days after the treatment and you wouldn’t even know it was there.Thoroughly recommend this clinic and will visit again for a couple of smaller marks to be removed later in the year.Thankyou Diane for a great service at a great price. Such a helpful and knowledgeable doctor in Dr Zeina! I had complete trust in him and his abilities and I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend him for any skin or aesthetic queries. Brilliant. I saw Dr Zeina about a skin condition.First of all it was easy to get an appointment and he was very thorough and informative.(and charming) Was treated by Diane for the removal of a facial wart, and was so pleased that she took time to explain the procedure before undertaking the careful treatment on me. I just visited Alternative Clinic and was treated by Diane. She was really lovely and explained the whole process of my treatment, the aftercare and answered all my questions. She treated me for Seborrheic Keratosis with liquid nitrogen. I was a bit nervous about the procedure but it was painless and only took about 10-15 minutes. I would highly recommend Alternative Clinic. Dr.Zeina and his staff are extremely kind, efficient and knowledgeable about skin conditions. Diane (the nurse) treated my seborrheic keratosis with liquid nitrogen, it only took 10 minutes. The treatment, possible complications and aftercare were thoroughly explained beforehand and only proceeded when I confirmed I was happy with everythhing. My husband had a consultation with Dr.Zenia and was referred to Milton Keynes hospital. The clinic is easy to get to and has free two hour parking directly outside. Fees are less than the Saxon Clinic. I felt I would have better treatment at a clinic that is owned and run by a doctor rather than a place that is primarily a beauty salon. I was correct. I do not hesitate to recommend them. Nurse Diane took a careful history, explained the minor procedure which I was to undergo and the likely aftermath. All in a civilised manner which instilled hope in the outcome. A very fair price was charged. Took my daughter to see Dr Zeina- consultation and treatment excellent! He was patient, listened and understood my daughter's concerns. Wish we found him sooner! Excellent care received and would be very happy to go back should we need to in thr future! Many thanks , Dr Zeina! I recently visited Alternatives Clinic and was seen by Dr Zeina. I was seen promptly and by the end of my consultation felt satisfied and happy. Dr Zeina listened and came to a quick diagnosis and explained everything well. His advice has worked really well. Thank you so much. De Bassam Zeina was very profesional and provided advice in a very efficient manner. Highly recommended!!Many thanks. Dr Bassam Zeina saw my husband just before Christmas, after seeing several other dermatologists (private & NHS) we at long last found someone who listened, understood and was far more professional - he is also an extremely nice person. Our only regret is that we didn't see you sooner. Many thanks Dr Zeina. Dr Bassam Zeina and his secretary were the 2 people I saw today, they were very kind and caring offering good advice, in particular Dr Bassam was affable and personable making the consultation a little more pleasant. Top service thank you. Amazing service from Dr Zeina, thoroughly appreciate the time and effort he took to see me on such short notice Very good service. Dr Zaina is very good and understanding. He spends a good amount of time with you and offers a lot of advice I saw Dr Bassam Zeina, he was amazing so thorough and compassionate. I would recommend him to anyone, if all doctors were like him, life would be better! We would highly recommend Dr Zeina. My husband visited to find out why there’s dryness and irritation which looked like eczema on two parts of the face (the temples). We explored the possibility that it could well be the duck feather pillows that he has been using for years which could be causing the irritation. We are still investigating the theory but glad we had the consultation to be educated on the right cleaning products to use on sensitive skin as well a good reminder to maintain a good healthy lifestyle with Vitamin D.Thank you!Boutaina I continue to be very happy with all the rejuvenation treatments I have benefited from at this excellent clinic and absolutely trust Dr Bassam Zeina. I have been seeing Dr Zeina for many years, finding his holistic, innovative, dedicated and caring approach second to none and have really good skin as a direct result. Most recently I had my second micro needling treatment with Edita and continue to be impressed with the improvement in firmness, reduction in pore size and glowing quality of my skin as a result. I would have no hesitation recommending Edita and have already booked in my third treatment. She is both professional and pleasant, putting me at ease throughout my treatments. Great service. Staff is amazing! I was straggling get rid of nasty verucca for over a year and finally Diane sorted it out for me! Thanks a lot! I have had a wonderful experience with Alternatives clinic especially with Dr Bassam Zeina who truly went above and beyond in helping me with my contact dermatitis. His expertise, compassion, and personalized care has helped so much. He took the time to listen to my concerns, thoroughly explained the treatment options, and provided me with a comprehensive plan, due to the nature of dermatitis being very much trial and error he was happy to schedule me a complementary appointment and in addition to has taken the time to answer any questions I have had via email. I'm incredibly grateful for his dedication and highly recommend Alternatives clinic to anyone in need of exceptional dermatological care. I will definitely be coming back in the future myself.Thank you for making my journey to healthier skin such a positive one! I saw Dr Bassam Zeina at alternatives about a couple of skin lesions that were concerning me. He was so kind and helpful and gave me confidence.He not only diagnosed my problem but also treated it during the same session!I would wholeheartedly recommend seeing him and visiting the clinic. Thank you Fantastic service, Dr Zeina is a lovely person, has a vast amount of experience and I’m lucky to have come across a very gifted professional. Highly recommend!

I am so pleased with the results of having a seborrheic Keratosis treated on my face that i felt i had to write my first review ever, the staff were fantastic, i saw Dr Zeina, who explained everything and was very happy to offer me additional health information as well, he used Liquid nitrogen which didnt hurt at all, just a little sting, that was 2 weeks ago, my scab fell off this morning (you must NOT pick it) so i couldnt wait to get home from work and shave so that i could see my face.... and wow the results are amazing, Thanks to you all.

I came today as I have Seborrheic Keratosis on my legs.Dr Zeina is a very experienced in all skin related matters and kept me fully informed and treated my legs with liquid nitrogen therapy. As I trust him completely I will be having further treatment for my Keloid scars. I was so impressed with the clinic that when I went home I told my husband and he told me that 20 years ago Dr Zeina was his consultant when he had skin cancer which thanks to Dr Zeina efforts has completely gone. I thoroughly recommend anyone with skin issues to visit the clinic Dr Zeina is amazing. He has an incredible knowledge and is able and willing to answer any questions you may have. And happy to take the required time to do so. Wholeheartedly recommend. A fantastic clinic! They have really helped me so much this week when no one else would, I am getting married in June and have all of a sudden started to have skin problems, Dr.Zeina has been fantastic, he has taken the time to really listen to me and given me as much information and support as possible. The clinic has fit me in to be seen at short notice and it just shows how much they really care and want to help. I can’t thank them enough! Absolutely amazing experience at Alternative dermatology department, it was very efficient and awesome at same-day treatments! Highly recommend, Dr Zeina and Dr Saada were excellent, and highly experienced. I was able to get a same day appointment soooo convenient !!!! Amazingly priced and service was totally wonderful.

What about freezing at home?
Kits are available for freezing skin tags at home, but bear in mind that the temperature they reach is not as low as liquid nitrogen. This means that multiple sessions are often required, and so results are often slower.
Many other home treatments exist, but they can lead to scarring and infection if not done properly (some people suggest cutting or even ripping them off!).
On the contrary, a recent study found that cryotherapy from a qualified physician, rarely results in scarring. There are risks involved with any medical procedure, but seeing a trained medical professional keeps these at a minimum. This is especially important for sensitive areas such as your face and neck.
Price list for skin tag removal
No matter who you decide to see, we believe our prices are competitive. Just one session is usually enough to treat skin tags. However, if you do require a follow-up, this will be at a 30% discount, making it even more affordable.
Choose between treatment with a fully qualified and highly experienced nurse, or our dermatologist with 34 years of experience.
