Skin Concerns
Understanding Seborrheic Keratoses - Causes and Treatments: Seborrheic keratoses are common non-cancerous skin growths that often appear as raised, wart-like lesions with a waxy or scaly texture. While typically harmless, their appearance can be concerning. This guide explores the characteristics of seborrheic keratoses, discusses treatment options, and highlights the effectiveness of RF removal for achieving smooth, clear skin.
Seborrheic keratoses are benign growths that commonly appear with age, typically on sun-exposed areas such as the face, chest, back, and shoulders. These growths can vary in colour from light tan to dark brown and often have a rough or wart-like texture. Although the exact cause is unclear, factors like genetics, sun exposure, and hormonal changes may contribute to their development.
Impact of Seborrheic Keratoses
While generally harmless, seborrheic keratoses can be cosmetically displeasing and may cause concern due to their appearance. Those with multiple or large growths might feel self-conscious or uncomfortable, especially if the growths are visible. Additionally, seborrheic keratoses can be mistaken for other skin conditions or melanoma, leading to unnecessary anxiety.
Treatment Options for Seborrheic Keratoses
At our clinic, we offer the following treatment options for seborrheic keratoses:
RF (Radiofrequency) Removal: A minimally invasive procedure using radiofrequency energy to precisely remove the growth without damaging surrounding tissue. This technique is safe, effective, and well-tolerated with minimal discomfort and downtime.
UltraClear: This non-invasive treatment uses advanced laser technology to gently and effectively remove seborrheic keratoses. It is particularly well-suited for those with sensitive skin or those who prefer a nonsurgical approach.
