Seborrheic warts are benign growths that 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 and itchy, catch on clothing and be unsightly if they are on the face.

Bodyvie’s effective PlexR treatment is an excellent alternative to surgical or chemical options. Seborrheic warts, also known as seborrheic keratosis, are removed at Bodyvie using PlexR to cauterise the growths. These harmless lesions are occasionally mistaken as moles by patients but are easily spotted and diagnosed by a GP.

What is seborrheic keratosis?

Seborrheic warts are very common after reaching 40 or if you have a family history of the condition. They begin to develop with a flat and pigmented appearance and, over time, can develop a raised and waxy or scaly texture. These growths can appear tan, brown or black with a round or oval shape, depending on the underlying skin colour and its melanin content.

These warts typically appear on the face, chest, shoulders or back; however, they can also occur anywhere on the body other than on your palms or soles. They can develop as a single growth, although multiple growths are far more common. In terms of size, they range from very small to more than 1 inch (2.5 centimetres) across.

Doctors do not know what causes seborrheic keratosis, but the growths tend to run in some families, suggesting that genetics plays a role.

Despite their name, seborrheic warts are not like viral warts and are not contagious; they are growths that form from normal skin skills. And because they are harmless, removing these growths is not vital.

Seborrheic Warts Removal

If seborrheic warts are bothering you due to their appearance or how they feel, you can have them cauterised to remove them. A doctor performs this treatment to ensure the 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 tissue area, stimulating rapid contractions and tightening the skin fibres to remove the growth.

Due to the effect of cautery, this treatment does not cause bleeding. It only requires a topical anaesthetic resulting in minimal downtime and less scarring risk than treatment requiring an incision.

Please contact our friendly team if you have any questions regarding the seborrheic wart removal procedure.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What does the treatment involve?

You will have a thorough consultation with your doctor before proceeding with treatment. This allows your doctor to carefully assess your unwanted growth(s) to determine if it is, in fact, a seborrheic wart and whether further investigation (histology) is required.

If it is confirmed you have a seborrheic wart, your doctor will discuss the procedure of removal and both pre and post-care requirements to ensure you achieve optimal results.

To begin, your doctor will mark the lesion to be removed, and a local anaesthetic will be administered to the wart site. The PlexR laser device will then tighten and cauterise the target area. The procedure is very quick and comfortable.

How many treatments do I need?

You will only need one treatment to remove your seborrheic wart; however, if it is significantly raised, your doctor may advise another treatment for safe removal and minimal scarring.

How quickly will I see results?

You will see results immediately after treatment. The growth will be removed, and you will have a scab on the treated area, which will be apparent for 1-2 weeks.

a misdiagnosis of depression by my GP.
Dr Weber suggested it sounded like perimenopause
and moved me off antidepressants
and on to HRT. I'm back to my old self
and can't thank him enough!"
