Welcome to City Dermatology Clinic, your trusted partner for professional seborrhoeic keratosis removal in the heart of London. Our team, led by some of London’s most skilled dermatology doctors, specialises in safe, efficient, and minimally invasive techniques to address and remove seborrhoeic keratosis.
At City Dermatology Clinic, we understand that the presence of seborrhoeic keratoses can be a cause for concern, though they are non-cancerous skin growths. Our approach to their removal is designed with your comfort and health in mind, following a meticulous process that begins with a detailed consultation.
Your journey towards the removal of seborrhoeic keratoses starts with an introductory consultation at our clinic. During this session, one of our specialist dermatologists will conduct an exhaustive examination of your skin growths. This is complemented by a thorough discussion of your medical history to ensure that the proposed treatment aligns with your overall health profile. This step is crucial in tailoring the removal process to meet your specific needs, ensuring the best possible outcome.
Should removal be advised, we fully recognise that undergoing any surgical procedure, no matter how minor, can be unsettling. It is our utmost priority at City Dermatology to make this experience as comfortable and painless as possible. To this end, you can be reassured that any discomfort during the procedure is unlikely. The treatment area will be carefully numbed before your doctor proceeds with the precise removal of the seborrhoeic keratoses. Our surgical techniques are refined to ensure that any residual mark is minimal, and with time, it should progressively fade, leaving your skin clear and healthy-looking.
Recovery following the removal of seborrhoeic keratoses is typically swift, allowing most patients to return to work or resume their regular daily activities shortly thereafter. However, every individual’s recovery process is unique, and your doctor will provide you with tailored aftercare instructions specific to your procedure. Often, we advise patients to avoid strenuous exercise for about a week following the procedure. This recommendation is made to prevent any accidental harm to the treated area, thereby aiding the healing process and ensuring optimal recovery.
At City Dermatology Clinic, our commitment to your care doesn’t end with the procedure. We’re dedicated to supporting you through every step of your recovery, ensuring your return to daily life is smooth and complication-free. Should you have any concerns or require further assistance during your recovery, our team is on hand to offer the support and advice you need.
Seborrhoeic keratosis presents as benign (non-cancerous) skin growths that develop on various parts of the body. These growths are characterized by their waxy, slightly raised appearance, often resembling a smear of brown wax on the skin. While they can appear anywhere on the body, they are most commonly found on the chest, back, head, or neck. Despite their harmless nature, their appearance can be concerning to some, prompting individuals to seek removal for cosmetic reasons or to alleviate discomfort.
Seborrhoeic keratosis is a common skin condition that manifests as non-cancerous growths on the skin. These growths are prevalent among older adults, with studies suggesting that more than 90% of adults over the age of 60 in the UK may have at least one seborrhoeic keratosis lesion.
