Seborrheic Keratosis Removal
HOME / Seborrheic Keratosis Removal
If you have noticed rough, waxy, or raised brown patches on skin that seem to appear gradually over time, you may be experiencing seborrheic keratosis. While these growths are entirely benign and carry no cancer risk, many people seek seborrheic keratosis removal for cosmetic reasons or because lesions become uncomfortable or itchy. At Renew Skin & Health Clinic, we offer advanced CO2 laser Seborrheic keratosis removal from just £149 — with no scarring, no bleeding, and rapid healing.
What is Seborrheic Keratosis?
Seborrheic keratosis (also commonly referred to as seb keratosis, seborrheic wart, or basal cell papilloma) is one of the most frequently seen non cancerous skin growths in adults. These lesions typically present as waxy, scaly, or raised patches ranging in colour from skin toned to light brown, dark brown, or black, with a characteristic ‘stuck on’ appearance as though the growth has been placed on top of the skin rather than growing from within it.
Seborrheic keratoses are neither contagious nor hereditary and carry absolutely no risk of becoming cancerous. However, their appearance and tendency to become irritated seborrheic keratosis.

Where Does Seborrheic Keratosis Appear?
Seborrheic keratoses can develop on virtually any area of the body where sebaceous glands are present. At Renew Skin & Health Clinic, we treat lesions across all common body locations:
- Seborrheic keratosis on the scalp — often mistaken for dandruff, psoriasis, or dry skin patches
- Seborrheic keratosis on the face — including the forehead, temples, and around the eyes
- Seborrheic keratosis on the cheek — frequently treated for cosmetic reasons
- Seborrheic keratosis on the neck — particularly common in middle aged and older adults
- Seborrheic keratosis on the back — one of the most frequent treatment areas, often presenting as multiple lesions
- Seborrheic keratosis on the chest — including scaly spots on skin around the sternum and upper chest
- Seborrheic keratosis on the breast and nipple area — treated with the utmost care using precise CO2 laser settings
Our CO2 laser technique is calibrated to treat all of these areas safely, even on sensitive or delicate skin.
What Causes Seborrheic Keratosis?
The exact cause is not fully understood, but current evidence points to a build up of ordinary skin cells leading to a benign, localised overgrowth. Several contributing factors have been identified:
- Age — lesions are most common in adults over 30, with frequency increasing significantly after the age of 50
- Sun exposure — prolonged or repeated UV exposure, particularly on the face and back, is considered a contributing factor
- Genetics — while not strictly hereditary, a predisposition to developing multiple lesions can appear across families
- Skin friction — areas of repeated rubbing or pressure may promote new growth over time
Occasionally, the sudden appearance of multiple new lesions known clinically as the Leser Trélat sign may warrant further medical investigation. Our specialists always conduct a thorough clinical assessment prior to any treatment.
Signs and Symptoms of Seborrheic Keratosis
Seborrheic keratoses are usually straightforward to identify. Common signs include:
- Waxy, scaly, or slightly raised texture with the characteristic ‘stuck on’ appearance
- Colour ranging from skin tone to light or dark brown, or black
- Size ranging from a few millimetres to several centimetres across
- Occasional itching, particularly with irritated seborrheic keratosis
- Brown patches on skin or scaly spots on skin that gradually increase in number over time
- Lesions that may appear to peel or crumble at the edges
If you are unsure whether a growth is seborrheic keratosis or another skin condition, our specialists will evaluate it thoroughly before recommending any treatment.

Is Seborrheic Keratosis Dangerous? When Should You Consider Removal?
Seborrheic keratosis is entirely benign and poses no cancer risk. However, seborrheic keratosis removal is recommended or desired in the following circumstances:
- The lesion is cosmetically bothersome, particularly seborrheic keratosis on face, neck, or other visible areas
- The growth is repeatedly irritated by clothing, jewellery, bra straps, or shaving
- It bleeds, becomes inflamed, or undergoes a noticeable change in appearance
- Multiple growths are affecting your confidence or quality of daily life
- A histological diagnosis is needed to rule out other conditions
Disclaimer: Seborrheic keratosis removal treatment outcomes vary from person to person. Results depend on the size, number, and location of lesions. Your specialist will provide a personalised assessment at consultation.
Seborrheic Keratosis Removal Treatment at Renew Skin & Health Clinic
At Renew Skin & Health Clinic, seborrheic keratosis removal is performed exclusively using advanced CO2 laser treatment & IPL for certain cases. This is a gold standard approach for precise and effective removal of benign skin lesions, and is significantly superior to older methods such as seborrheic keratosis cryotherapy, shave excision, or electrodesiccation, which carry a higher risk of scarring, pigmentation changes, and extended recovery times.
Our CO2 laser targets the water content within lesion cells, ablating the growth layer by layer with exceptional precision. This makes it ideal for seborrheic keratosis on face, scalp, neck, and other areas requiring careful treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What exactly is seborrheic keratosis?
Seborrheic keratosis is a common, entirely non cancerous skin growth that presents as a raised, waxy, or scaly lesion typically brown or black in colour with a characteristic ‘stuck on’ appearance. It is also known as seb keratosis, seborrheic wart, or basal cell papilloma. These growths are benign and carry absolutely no risk of becoming cancerous, though many people choose removal for cosmetic or comfort reasons.
Q2. Is seborrheic keratosis removal painful?
No. Before treatment begins, a topical or local anaesthetic is applied to the area to ensure you remain comfortable throughout. Most patients report little to no discomfort during the CO2 laser seborrheic keratosis removal procedure, and any mild sensitivity settles quickly after the session.
Q3. How long does the CO2 laser treatment take?
The majority of seb keratosis treatment sessions take between 15 and 30 minutes. The duration depends on the number, size, and location of the lesions being treated. Our specialist will give you a clear time estimate during your free consultation.
Q4. How much does seborrheic keratosis removal cost?
At Renew Skin & Health Clinic, seborrheic keratosis removal cost starts from £149 for a single small lesion. A medium lesion is priced at £199, and large or complex lesions start from £249. Package pricing is available for multiple lesions. Histology laboratory tissue analysis is available at an additional £149, and is only recommended when clinically indicated.
Q5. Will seborrheic keratosis grow back after removal?
Once a specific lesion has been removed using CO2 laser, that growth will not return. However, as the underlying predisposition to develop seborrheic keratosis can be ongoing particularly with age new lesions may appear elsewhere on the skin in the future. These can be treated using the same process.
Q6. Can seborrheic keratosis on the scalp, face, and other areas be treated?
Yes. One of the principal advantages of our CO2 laser approach is its precision, which makes it highly suitable for sensitive areas including seborrheic keratosis on the scalp, face, cheek, neck, back, chest, breast, and nipple area. Regardless of location, our specialist calibrates the laser settings specifically for each treatment zone to ensure optimal safety and results.
Q7. How soon will I see results after treatment?
The lesion is effectively removed during the session itself. As the treated skin regenerates typically over 7 to 14 days the area heals cleanly. Most patients see their final seborrheic keratosis removal before and after result within two to four weeks as the skin fully settles.
Q8. Is there any downtime after seborrheic keratosis removal?
Downtime is minimal. Immediately following treatment, the area may appear slightly red or develop a small scab a normal part of the healing process. Most patients return to their regular daily routine on the same day. We advise avoiding direct sun exposure and strenuous exercise for a short period after treatment, and full aftercare guidance will be provided at your appointment.
Q9. Do I need a consultation before treatment?
Yes, and we offer this consultation completely free of charge. During your appointment, Dr. Jha will clinically assess your lesion, confirm the diagnosis, discuss the most appropriate CO2 laser treatment plan, and address any questions you may have. If histology is clinically advisable, this will also be discussed at this stage.
