Description

Seborrheic Keratosis are very common harmless skin lesions that appear during adult life. Seborrheic Keratosis may also be called basal cell papillomas, senile warts or brown warts. They are harmless and rarely become malignant. They begin as slightly raised, skin coloured or light brown spots. Gradually they thicken and take on a rough, warty surface. They slowly darken and may turn black. These colour changes are harmless but may result in the lesion looking like a melanoma (a type of skin cancer).

Cause

Seborrheic Keratosis or Senile Warts occur most often on the truck of the body, but they are also common on the face, head and neck and can be individual or numerous. Cause is the natural aging process, sun damage and hereditary reasons.

Treatment

During treatment each Seborrheic keratosis is removed individually leaving the skin with a grazed appearance. During the healing process the skin will develop a temporary crust or scab. The healing rate is individual to each client, once fully healed the skin will be smooth.

Aftercare

Following your treatment you may experience:

• A slight reddening/swelling of the skin in the area.
• Warmth in the area that has been treated.
• A scab will form.
• The skin may feel itchy as the healing process takes place.

It can take several weeks after the initial scab sloughs off before the fading and equalization of colour is complete and the final results are apparent.

Treatment price

• Treatment price starts from £50.00.
