Wow! Dr. Beal and his team are amazing! I had a lot done including upper Bleph, rinophyma treatment, co2 laser full face and some minor fillers. I’m 57 and I had the procedures done four months ago. It was important to me to look natural. He listened and friends and family say I look so young and rested! His upper bleph work and rinophyma was artistry! My results were better than I ever anticipated. The team there worked with my schedule for my follow up appointments because I traveled from out of state to have the procedures with Dr. Beal. I would give a 10 Star review, if I could.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!

This is one of the best Dermatologist buildings around here in Troy. I don't have to travel very far and the staff as well as the doctors are the most considerate and very polite. I would recommend any one to go here if they have any problems with their body according to cancer or any other problems with their body. They get you in and out as soon as they can! I just can't say enough of how proud I am that I decided to go to them.
Response from the owner:Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!

What are seborrheic keratoses?

Seborrheic keratoses are common, non-cancerous skin growths that tend to occur as people age. They can be brown or black and have a warty appearance.

Seborrheic keratoses are frequently found on the chest, back, neck, and head. They can sometimes be irritated with itching or rubbing.

How is seborrheic keratosis diagnosed?

A dermatologist’s exam is frequently all that is needed. The seborrheic keratosis can be biopsied or removed if there is a concern.

What are the treatment options for seborrheic keratosis?

  • Minor surgery to remove the growth (curettement)
  • Shave biopsy
  • Chemical peel
  • Laser surgery

What can you expect?

Before any procedure, you will have a consultation with our expert cosmetic dermatologists. The physician will listen to you, perform a thorough evaluation, and provide an individualized treatment plan to address your needs and concerns.

Any seborrheic keratosis causing irritation can be removed with almost no downtime. Most patients can resume normal activities the next day. Because seborrheic keratoses are benign (non-cancerous) growths, insurance companies often will not pay for their removal. Often, there is an out-of-pocket cost that is not covered by insurance associated with the removal of seborrheic keratoses.

Is treatment of seborrheic keratosis safe?

All procedures carry some risk. However, complications from treatment procedures for seborrheic keratosis are uncommon when performed by board-certified cosmetic dermatologists.
