Seborrheic warts are benign growths which develop with age. These often pigmented growths are harmless and common for those 40 years and older. Seborrheic warts are considered a nuisance as they can become inflamed, itch and catch on clothing and if they are on the face, unsightly.
Seborrheic warts also known as seborhheic keratoses, are removed at Bodyvie using PlexR to cauterise the growths.
Sebhorrheic warts are very common after reaching the age of 40. They begin to develop with a flat and pigmented appearance and overtime can develop a raised and waxy or scaly texture. These growths can appear as tan, brown or black with a round or oval shape.
Despite their name, seborrheic warts are not like viral warts and are not contagious and because they are not harmless, it is not vital to remove these growths. If seborrheic warts are bothering you due to their appearance or how they feel, you can have them cauterised to remove them. This treatment is performed by a doctor to ensure a safe removal and less risk of scarring.
Using plasma energy, the PlexR device ionises gases in the air to create a tiny electrical arc to heat the targeted area of tissue, stimulating rapid contractions, tightening the skin fibres to remove the growth.
Due to the effect of cautery, this treatment does not cause bleeding and only requires a topical anaesthetic resulting in very little downtime and less risk of scarring compared to treatment requiring incision.
