Book a Consultation
If you are in St Albans or across Hertfordshire and want a seborrheic keratosis (age wart or
skin barnacle) removed, London Skin Clinic is an easy journey away. A consultant first confirms it is a benign
seborrheic keratosis and not a skin cancer, then removes it with a quick procedure under local anaesthetic, most often a
shave excision with no visible scar from stitches. Removal is £300 for the first
growth and £200 for each additional one (consultation £100), and you do not need a GP referral.
What We Treat and How
Seborrheic keratoses are common, benign “stuck-on” growths that many people have removed because they catch and irritate,
itch, or for cosmetic reasons. At your consultation a consultant confirms the diagnosis, usually with dermoscopy, and
chooses the method: shave excision for most growths (precise, no stitches, low recurrence),
CO2 laser for larger or recurrent ones, and cryotherapy for very small ones.
Up to about ten can be treated in one session. The full detail is in our
complete guide to seborrheic keratosis removal.
“I had a small lesion removed at London Skin Clinic. Lovely staff, and the clinic itself was easy to find, luxurious
and clean. I recommend it highly.”Niall A., verified Google review
