The board-certified dermatologists at Northstar Dermatology specialize in treating seborrheic keratoses, often referred to as “age spots” or “sun spots.
The most common treatment for seborrheic keratoses is cryotherapy, which involves using liquid nitrogen. Alternatively, certain types of seborrheic keratoses can be treated with electrodessication (or cautery). These treatments are typically quick and can be done during an in-office visit. Unfortunately, procedures to remove asymptomatic seborrheic keratoses are not covered by insurance. In some cases, a topical prescription medication may also be recommended.
