If you’ve been diagnosed with Actinic Keratoses (AK), we offer advanced treatment options at Chatham Skin Clinic to help you manage and eliminate these pre-cancerous growths. Actinic Keratoses often appears as dry, scaly patches on sun-exposed areas, such as the face, ears, neck, scalp, chest, backs of hands, arms, or lips. These Actinic Keratoses lesions are caused by prolonged sun exposure and can sometimes lead to skin cancer if left untreated. Our treatments aim to remove these growths and reduce the risk of further skin damage.
We use a variety of methods, including our Swift device, which uses microwave energy to target and treat affected skin, as well as liquid nitrogen to freeze and destroy abnormal cells. For a more comprehensive approach, we may recommend topical chemotherapy creams that target precancerous cells, helping to prevent new AKs from forming. As part of a preventive care plan, we emphasize the importance of daily sunscreen application to protect your skin from future UV damage.
