Seborrheic Keratosis
Benign growths removed cleanly, without the mark.
Seborrhoeic keratoses are benign, warty growths with a characteristic stuck-on appearance. They accumulate with age on the face, trunk and back, in colours ranging from tan to near-black.

Frequently asked

Local anaesthetic is used where needed; most patients report minimal discomfort.
A temporary pink area that fades over weeks; depth control minimises any lasting mark.
