What is Actinic Keratosis

Actinic keratosis, also known as solar keratosis, is a serious skin condition that appears on a patient’s face (lips, ears, nose), forearms, back of the hands, etc. It is common and curable with timely diagnosis and taking the right treatment. Years of Sun exposure causes it and if it is left untreated, it can turn in to squamous cell carcinoma, a common type of skin cancer.

What Makes It Worse?

Each year over 50 million UK people get this disease, and researchers say it will increase up to 15% upcoming years. Continuous exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or tanning beds worsens it, causes harm to the DNA in skin cells, and as a result, leads to unusual growth of cells, making the recovery delayed.

Several factors increase the risk and severity of actinic keratosis:

Fair skin with less natural sun protection
History of frequent sun exposure or sunburns
Age over 40, as damage accumulates over time
Weakened immune system
Living in sunny climates
Outdoor occupations or recreational activities
Continued sun exposure without adequate protection

The Conventional Challenge

There are various treatments for actinic keratosis available, but each presents unique challenges. Topical therapies, cryotherapy and photodynamic therapy may all offer effective relief, yet some come with risks including superficial skin injury, pigment change or even higher recurrence rates than anticipated. It is imperative to explore innovative alternatives that not only treat actinic keratosis effectively while mitigating these potential downsides.

Dr. Shekhar’s Liquid Nitrogen Treatment: A Precision Approach

Dr. Shekhar’s approach to treating actinic keratosis stands out, particularly in his use of liquid nitrogen. Liquid nitrogen, an extremely cold substance, is applied directly to affected areas to produce cryotherapy and freeze them off, eliminating abnormal cells associated with actinic keratosis and effectively treating its symptoms.

1. Precision Targeting

Liquid nitrogen allows for precise targeting of affected areas, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy skin.

2. Swift and Efficient

The treatment is quick and efficient, often requiring just a brief outpatient visit.

3. Minimal Discomfort

While some discomfort may be experienced during the procedure, it is generally well-tolerated.

4. Lower Risk of Pigment Changes

Compared to certain topical treatments, liquid nitrogen treatment reduces the risk of pigment changes in the treated area.

5. Reduced Recurrence

Liquid nitrogen’s freezing action may help destroy abnormal cells more completely, decreasing their likelihood of reappearance in subsequent instances.
