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.

I saw Diane the nurse who treated me twice for the removal of skin tags. After researching different methods and costs I was pleased with the service and price. Diane was lovely and I felt at ease throughout both procedures. The results are great, no visible scarring and no skin tags! Best clinic in Milton Keynes, I had a dermatology consultation here. Great advice given by Dr Zeina. I had a problem with my skin on my scalp and beard area one week before my wedding. He gave me a prescription and recommended some products within a week it had cleared. 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 Cannot recommend high enough!!! I had micro needling and PRP treatment done by nurse Edita. She is the most knowledgeable, gentle, caring professional. The results of my treatment are amazing. Look no further! 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.

Excellent results from mole removal, very professional, highly recommended I've been attending Alternatives Clinic for wart treatment. I had issues with them for a while and struggled to get rid of them. After just a few treatment with Mr Zeina, my warts are now practically gone. Great advice and patient treatment given by Mr Zeina. Thank you! I have seen Diane twice. She’s efficient, effective and professional and I’d definitely recommend Alternatives Clinic. 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. A fantastic husband and wife holistic partnership. An oasis of expertise for health, well being and cosmetic treatments. I have been fortunate enough to have Dr Zeina as y consultant for over 10 years, he is excellent. Consultative, passionate and continually updating his knowledge and searching for best practice where possible. Thoroughly recommend a visit. Cannot recommend Dr Zeina enough. Excellent. I found Alternatives to be a smart and professional practice. Diane is friendly and efficient, making me feel relaxed and comfortable during my treatment. I've been attending Alternatives Clinic to see Dr Zeina for some 8 years or so now. I'm always given a thorough in-depth consultation and I never feel rushed. Everything is explained in great detail. I did an awful lot of research before deciding to visit Dr Zeina. Due to his many years experience as a consultant dermatologist (both NHS and Private) I felt in very safe hands. The treatments I've received over the years have been considered perfectly by Dr Zeina and the results have been outstanding in my opinion. I would highly recommend the clinic in all aspects of well being and facial rejuvenation and would not go anywhere else as I trust him completely. I’ve been to see Diane twice to have a couple of scars camouflaged. She is very caring and professional and very helpful. I would definitely go and see her again if I needed to. I have been to the clinic twice now to see Diane and I would definitely recommend. I received a fast and friendly service on both occasions. Diane was very professional and caring which helped me feel at ease - she was easy to talk to and did a great job at explaining all the details of the treatment to me. I have been pleased with the results, and it was very good value too! Dr Zeina is an excellent, professional, approachable Dr and I would highly recommend him to anyone who would like to go to Alternatives Clinic.Alternatives gives excellent treatment and diagnosis and is a great place. ‹

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.
