Seborrhoeic Keratosis Removal
If you have a raised, rough or “stuck-on” skin lesion that you’d like professionally assessed, our experienced practitioners are here to help. We provide personalised consultations and treatment recommendations for benign seborrhoeic keratoses, helping you understand your options and the most suitable next steps before treatment. Seborrhoeic keratoses are usually harmless, but any changing or unusual lesion should be professionally assessed before cosmetic removal.
Seborrhoeic Keratosis
What is a seborrhoeic keratosis?
Seborrhoeic keratoses are common, non-cancerous skin growths that often appear with age. They can vary in colour from light brown to black and usually have a raised, waxy or “stuck-on” appearance. Although they are generally harmless, some people choose to have them removed because they become irritated by clothing, catch on jewellery or affect their confidence. If a lesion changes in appearance or there is any uncertainty about the diagnosis, it should be assessed before cosmetic treatment is considered.
How removal works
Every treatment begins with an individual consultation to assess the lesion and confirm whether removal is appropriate. We’ll explain the recommended treatment, discuss the expected outcome and provide clear aftercare guidance, ensuring you understand every stage of the process before treatment begins.

What we do
Before & after results
Every patient’s skin heals differently, so treatment outcomes vary. With patient consent, before and after photographs may be available to help demonstrate typical results. During your consultation, we’ll discuss realistic expectations and provide aftercare guidance to support the healing process.
Pricing
Transparent pricing guidance
We believe in clear and transparent pricing with no hidden costs. Treatment fees depend on the size, number and location of the seborrhoeic keratoses being treated. Following your consultation, we’ll provide a personalised quotation based on your individual treatment requirements before any treatment takes place.
FAQ
Seborrhoeic keratosis removal FAQs
Seborrhoeic keratoses are typically benign, but it’s important to assess any lesion you’re unsure about.
A treated lesion typically does not return, but new lesions can develop over time.
Any skin procedure can leave a mark. We’ll explain expected outcomes and aftercare.
A treated seborrhoeic keratosis is unlikely to return once it has been successfully removed. However, new seborrhoeic keratoses may develop in other areas over time, particularly as part of the natural ageing process.
No. Seborrhoeic keratoses are usually harmless and often do not require treatment. Many patients choose removal because the lesion becomes irritated, catches on clothing or jewellery, or for cosmetic reasons. Any new, changing or unusual skin lesion should be professionally assessed before cosmetic removal.
