Keratosis Seborrhoica Removal
What Is Seborrhoeic Keratosis?
Seborrhoeic Keratoses ( age spots ) are non-cancerous growths that often appear as slightly raised, waxy patches on the skin. They can range in colour from light brown to darker tones and may develop gradually over time. They are very common and are not considered harmful, but can sometimes become bothersome.
Why Consider Removal?
Although Keratosis seborrhoica are benign, many people choose removal if they become irritated, catch on clothing, or affect the overall appearance of the skin. Treatment provides a simple and effective way to improve comfort and restore a more even skin surface.
How we Remove Age Spots (Seborrhoeic Keratoses)
Seborrhoeic Keratoses ( Often called Age Spots, Seborrhoeic warts, Barnacles of ageing and Basal cell papilloma ) removal is carried out using shortwave diathermy to safely and precisely treat the lesion.
A fine probe delivers controlled heat to the area, allowing the growth to be reduced and removed without unnecessary damage to the surrounding skin. This targeted approach helps achieve a smooth and effective result.
Following treatment, a small healing area may form which settles over time. The procedure is quick, controlled, and designed to improve both comfort and appearance.
