Laser Age Wart (Seborrhoeic Keratosis) Removal

Laser Age Wart (Seborrhoeic Keratosis) Removal
Treatment Highlights

  • Targeted Removal – Laser treatment for suitable benign age warts.
  • Precision Treatment – Precisely targets the lesion with minimal risk of trauma to the surrounding skin compared to other techniques.
  • Clinical Assessment – Every lesion is examined before removal to identify suspicious features.

Dr Jadoon has been performing Laser Age Wart removal treatment since 2008. Age warts, commonly known as seborrhoeic keratoses, are non-cancerous skin growths that often develop with age. They may appear raised, rough or waxy and vary in colour from light brown to dark brown or black. Although benign, they can become bothersome due to their appearance, location or irritation from clothing.

At Medaesthetics, laser removal may be considered for suitable age warts following clinical assessment of the lesion’s size, thickness, location and characteristics.

All lesions are clinically assessed before removal. Any lesion that is changing, suspicious or diagnostically uncertain requires appropriate medical investigation before cosmetic treatment is considered. Removal may cause temporary redness, pigment changes or scarring, and recurrence is possible.

Treatment Discomfort:

Each lesion is numbed with a local anaesthetic injection to minimise discomfort during treatment.

Longevity:

Once removed, the treated lesion is unlikely to recur, although new lesions may develop over time.

Location:

Available at all MedAesthetics clinics.

MOA

A precise CO₂ laser beam is directed at the lesion to vaporise the targeted tissue. Treatment settings are tailored to the lesion’s size, thickness and characteristics, with the aim of minimising damage to the surrounding skin.

Laser Age Wart Removal Treatment Summary

A single treatment is usually enough.

The procedure typically takes approximately 15 minutes, with each lesion requiring only a few minutes to treat. The total duration depends on the size and number of lesions being removed.

Each lesion is numbed with local anaesthetic before treatment to minimise discomfort during the procedure.

Healing typically takes 1–2 weeks. The treated area may initially appear red or pink, with some scab formation during recovery. The skin gradually returns towards its normal colour, although healing time varies between individuals.

Results are seen immediately after the treatment.

Most light activities can be resumed immediately. Avoid strenuous exercise, swimming and direct sun exposure while the treated area heals.

Keep the treated area clean and dry, apply any prescribed ointments as directed, avoid picking or scratching, and protect the treated area from direct sun exposure during the healing phase. Aftercare instructions are provided to support healing and reduce the risk of infection.
