Precise, surgeon-performed removal in Seattle, Washington
Anal Tag Removal
Skin tags around the anal opening are common and benign, and just as common a reason patients want them gone. This is a surgical procedure, performed personally by Dr. Kratz, not a spa treatment.

What it actually feels like
- The area is numbed with topical and local anesthesia before anything begins.
- Nitrous oxide is available for an additional fee if you would like additional comfort during the procedure.
- Most patients describe pressure rather than pain, with manageable soreness for a day or two afterward.
- No sedation is used, so you will never need a driver.
What it costs
Our billing team reviews your benefits and gives you pricing over the phone before your visit, so there are no surprises at checkout.
Performed by Dr. Kratz, in our Seattle office
This is a surgical procedure, so it is performed personally by Dr. Kratz, not delegated to an esthetician. It takes place in-office at our Seattle location, typically in a single 15 to 20 minute visit depending on the number and size of tags.
Recovery
- Most patients return to desk work within a day or two.
- The first 72 hours matter most: keeping swelling controlled during that window is what protects the result and helps prevent new tags from forming.
- You will leave with a written aftercare plan and direct access to our office if anything concerns you.
Common questions
Does it hurt?
Will anyone know why I'm there?
Will the tags come back?
Can I combine this with other treatments?
Often the first step in a larger plan
Once healed, this area can be refined further with brightening, tightening, or hair removal. If a hemorrhoid is the underlying cause of your tags, it's worth treating at the same time.
You don't have to explain why it matters. It matters to you, and that is enough.
