Seborrheic keratosis is a common, benign skin condition that often leads to confusion with solar lentigos or age spots due to their similar appearance. However, they are distinct skin issues with different underlying causes and treatments. This post will clarify what seborrheic keratosis is and how 755nm laser therapy can be effectively used to treat it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Seborrheic Keratosis?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Seborrheic keratosis presents as raised, rough brown or black patches on the skin. These growths are typically found on the face, back, and hands of middle-aged and older adults. Unlike age spots, seborrheic keratosis has a greasy or dry texture and is not flat against the skin. The condition is related to skin aging, genetic factors, and exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light, but it does not involve melanocyte dysfunction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

755nm Laser Treatment for Seborrheic Keratosis<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 755nm laser is particularly effective for treating seborrheic keratosis due to its ability to target the pigment within the lesions. The laser energy is absorbed by the pigmented cells, leading to a selective photothermal effect that vaporizes or disrupts the abnormal tissue. This process results in the removal of the raised patches, leaving the skin smoother and more even in texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
