Seborrhoeic keratosis is a common, non-cancerous skin growth that often looks waxy, rough, or slightly raised. Many people mistake it for a mole or wart, but it is harmless in most cases.
At Cryosonic, we provide Seborrhoeic Keratosis removal in Leighton Buzzard through a professional at-home service. You don’t need to visit a clinic — our trained practitioner comes to your home with medical-grade CryoPen technology.
The treatment is quick, safe, and designed to remove the lesion with minimal discomfort while you stay comfortable in your own space.

Q: Can seborrhoeic keratosis turn into skin cancer?
Seborrhoeic keratosis is a benign skin growth and does not turn into cancer. However, any unusual or changing lesion should be checked before removal.
Q: What aftercare is required following cryotherapy?
After treatment, keep the area clean and dry, avoid picking the scab, and allow the skin to heal naturally.
Q: Do you need a GP referral before CryoPen treatment?
No GP referral is needed. Our practitioner will assess the lesion during your at-home appointment to ensure it is suitable for cryotherapy.

Scarring is unlikely. CryoPen targets only the lesion, helping protect the surrounding healthy skin.
