Raised, waxy "stuck-on" growths removed safely with Nitrous Oxide cryotherapy. No cutting, no stitches — from just £95.
Seborrheic keratoses (sometimes called seborrheic warts or basal cell papillomas) are among the most common benign skin growths in adults. They often look like waxy, "stuck-on" patches or raised bumps on the skin surface — almost as if they have been pasted onto the skin.
They range in colour from pale tan to dark brown or almost black, and their texture can vary from smooth and waxy to rough and scaly. Some have a crumbly, almost greasy surface. They are entirely benign and unrelated to melanoma or any form of skin cancer.
Seborrheic keratoses tend to develop with age — they are particularly common from middle age onward — and can appear virtually anywhere on the body, including the face, scalp, chest, back, shoulders and arms. They often appear in clusters, particularly on the trunk.
Although completely harmless, many people seek removal because they find them cosmetically bothersome, irritating when they catch on clothing, or simply because they are growing larger or darker over time. Because they are considered cosmetic, removal is generally not available on the NHS.
New or changing lesions should always be checked by a healthcare professional before cosmetic treatment.
We use Nitrous Oxide (N₂O) cryotherapy to remove seborrheic keratoses quickly and with minimal discomfort. A precision pen-like device delivers a controlled jet of freezing gas directly onto the growth for just a few seconds per lesion.
The extreme cold destroys the targeted tissue. Over the following days and weeks the treated area typically darkens, forms a crust, and the growth lifts away naturally — revealing smoother skin underneath. Healing generally takes 2–6 weeks depending on the size and site of the lesion.
Because the treatment takes just seconds per lesion, even multiple growths can be treated in a single appointment. Thicker or more stubborn growths may benefit from a repeat session after 3–6 weeks to allow full healing between treatments.
A free consultation is always carried out first to assess your growth and confirm that it is a seborrheic keratosis suitable for cryotherapy. If we have any concerns about a lesion, we will recommend you see your GP or a dermatologist before treatment. We explain the process clearly so you know exactly what to expect.

A seborrheic keratosis is a very common, benign skin growth. It typically looks like a waxy, raised, "stuck-on" patch ranging from tan to dark brown. They are not cancerous, are unrelated to melanoma, and are not caused by sun exposure or infection. They tend to appear from middle age onward and can develop almost anywhere on the body.
Most clients describe a brief cold sensation or slight sting lasting just seconds. The discomfort is minimal and no anaesthetic is needed. Any sensation fades almost immediately after the application.
Healing typically takes 2–6 weeks depending on the size of the growth and where it is on the body. The treated area will usually darken and form a crust that falls away naturally, revealing smooth skin underneath. Larger or thicker growths may take a little longer.
Once fully treated, the same seborrheic keratosis typically does not return. However, because these growths are a natural part of skin ageing, new ones can develop elsewhere over time. These are unrelated to the treated area.
Many seborrheic keratoses respond well to a single treatment. Thicker or more stubborn growths may require a follow-up session, typically after 3–6 weeks. We will advise you during your consultation.
Yes. Because each application takes just seconds, we can treat several seborrheic keratoses in a single session. We will assess all the growths during your consultation and advise on the best approach.
Seborrheic keratoses have a distinctive "stuck-on" waxy or rough appearance. However, only a trained practitioner can confirm the diagnosis. During your free consultation, we will assess your growth and advise whether cryotherapy is appropriate. If we have any concerns, we will recommend you see your GP or a dermatologist before treatment.
Scarring from cryotherapy is minimal compared to surgical excision. Most clients see smooth, clear skin after healing. There may be a temporary lightening or darkening of the treated area which typically fades over the following weeks.
