Laser Removal for Skin Growths at City Laser & Skin Clinic Leicester
Seborrheic keratosis is a very common and harmless skin growth that many people develop as they get older. While it is benign, some people choose to have seborrheic keratoses removed because they can be cosmetically bothersome, irritated by clothing, or affect confidence.
City Laser & Skin Clinic in Leicester offers safe and effective laser removal of seborrheic keratosis, helping restore smoother, clearer skin.
If you have unwanted skin growths, please book a no-obligation consultation at our award-winning skin & laser clinic. You can book a consultation online HERE or call us on 0116 242 5299. Please note: We charge £50 for a consultation and an additional £50 for a laser patch test, if required.
Consultations are detailed and carried out using a traditional Wood lamp which lamp emits safe ultraviolet light or blacklight which highlights the health of your skin and precisely pinpoints cellular damage deep within the skin.
What is Seborrheic Keratosis?
Seborrheic keratosis is a non-cancerous skin growth that often appears as a raised, waxy or slightly rough patch on the skin.
They can vary in colour, including light tan, brown, dark brown and black. They often have a “stuck-on” appearance and may develop slowly over time.
Although harmless, some people choose to remove them for cosmetic reasons or if they become irritated.
Seborrheic keratoses can appear on many parts of the body, including the face, chest, back, neck, shoulders and arms. They are very common in adults over 40, although younger people can also develop them.
How Do You Remove Seborrheic Keratoses?
Laser removal offers a quick and effective solution if you are struggling with unwanted skin growths. Even though seborrheic keratosis is harmless, removal may be considered if the growth catches on clothing or jewellery, becomes itchy or irritated, bleeds when rubbed or affects your confidence or appearance. Book a consultation so we can offer a solution for your skin needs.
How Laser Removal Works
Laser technology allows practitioners to precisely target and remove the skin growth while minimising damage to surrounding skin. The laser gently removes the lesion layer by layer, allowing the skin to heal naturally and smoothly.
The treatment is typically quick, minimally invasive and highly precise.
Does Seborrheic Keratosis Removal Hurt?
Most clients report minimal discomfort during treatment. You may feel a brief warm sensation and slight tingling. The procedure is usually very quick, and numbing options may be used if necessary.
After treatment, the area may appear slightly red but typically heals quickly.
