Seborrheic Keratosis Removal
Safe in-office removal of waxy, stuck-on brown growths that look like moles but are benign — cryotherapy or electrosurgery in minutes.
How we remove SKs
- Cryotherapy — liquid nitrogen; scab falls off in 1–2 weeks
- Electrosurgery/curettage — scrape and cauterize; heals in 1–3 weeks
- Shave excision — for larger lesions
We always examine lesions first to confirm they are benign before removal.
