I've been putting off skin tag removal mostly because I don't know what to expect from the procedure itself. Does laser treatment actually hurt? I have pretty low pain tolerance and I'm worried I'm going to regret booking it.

Laser removal of skin tags is typically described as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. The sensation is often compared to a quick snap of a rubber band or a brief heat sensation. Most clinics apply a topical numbing cream beforehand which reduces discomfort significantly. The actual laser contact on each tag is very brief — often just a second or two — so even if there is some sensation it passes almost immediately.
I had the same concern going in because I'm genuinely not great with pain. They applied numbing cream about 20 minutes before starting and honestly I felt very little. A tiny bit of warmth on each spot and it was done. I think I built it up in my head much more than it deserved. Recovery was equally uneventful — just a small scab on each site that fell off on its own within about a week.
