LED Therapy (Dermalux) Treatments in Dundee

While scarring is a possibility with any procedure, Ellman radiowave surgery  avoids the need for sutures, often leaving only a slight change in skin colour that blends in over time.

Following the procedure, the treated area may appear slightly pink or red and may feel tender for a few days. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, and any sensitivity typically resolves quickly. A small dressing or occlusive spray is applied to protect the area and support healing. Over time, the area gradually blends in with your natural skin tone. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.

Yes, we offer a follow-up appointment if required at around week 4-6.

Recovery typically takes 1-2 weeks, with complete healing and fading of any scar tissue occurring over a few weeks to months.

While seb.keratosis removal is safe, potential risks include minor infection, bleeding, or scarring. We take all necessary precautions to minimise these risks and provide comprehensive aftercare.

Most people can safely undergo removal. However, those with conditions or allergies to anaesthetics may not be suitable. Radiowave surgery is also contraindicated for individuals with pacemakers.

At Renu, we use FotoFinder dermoscopy—a leading digital skin imaging system to accurately assess, photograph, and track skin lesions. This technology complements our clinicians’ expertise, ensuring precise diagnosis and safe, effective removal.

Our prices vary depending on the size and thickness of the keratosis. Please see pricing page for more details. We will always give you a full price prior to booking. 

Same-day consultation and removal are offered only where the treating nurse is satisfied that the lesion is clinically consistent with a benign seborrhoeic keratosis and that further investigation or a second opinion is not warranted.

Where a lesion has previously been assessed by a consultant dermatologist or dermatologist, we can accept written confirmation of the benign diagnosis to support same-day booking.

Before offering a same-day appointment, we ask that you provide clear photographs of the lesion(s) you wish to have treated plus the letter from dermatology. These will be reviewed by the treating nurse to establish whether the lesions appear consistent with seborrhoeic keratoses and whether a same-day appointment may be appropriate.

If there is any uncertainty regarding the diagnosis, appearance or suitability for treatment, a separate consultation is required before proceeding.

A GP’s opinion or confirmation alone is not normally sufficient to establish eligibility for same-day removal. All lesions must still undergo clinical and dermatoscopic assessment by the treating nurse before any treatment is considered.

However, if your GP has provided written confirmation that the lesion is believed to be benign and you have previously been referred to or assessed by a dermatology department, we may accept this documentation as supporting evidence when considering your suitability for a same-day appointment.

Where there is any uncertainty regarding the diagnosis or appearance of the lesion, further assessment or written confirmation from a consultant dermatologist may be required or a pre consult is required.

If, during your consultation and dermatoscopic assessment, the treating nurse identifies any features that require further investigation or a second opinion, removal will not proceed.

In these circumstances, your appointment will be treated as a pre-treatment consultation, with a fee of £80. This includes the clinical assessment, preparation of a second-opinion report and submission of the relevant clinical information and images for review by a consultant dermatologist. Your booking fee covers this.

Where more than one lesion requires further assessment, an additional fee of £30 per lesion will apply.

You are under no obligation to proceed with further assessment of additional lesions. However, please be aware that the initial £80 consultation fee will be retained, as this covers the clinical appointment and dermatologist review process.

The decision not to proceed with removal is made in the interests of your safety and ensuring that any lesion requiring further investigation receives appropriate assessment before treatment is considered.

You are under no obligation to proceed with treatment and may change your mind at any point, including on the day of your appointment.

However, please be aware that the £80 consultation and booking fee is non-refundable and will be retained, even if you decide not to go ahead with treatment. This fee covers the clinical assessment and time allocated for your appointment, rather than the removal procedure itself.

A review appointment is offered approximately 4–6 weeks after treatment to assess the healing of the treated area and the result achieved. This appointment  is for assessment only. It does not include further treatment at that appointment.

Although our aim is to reduce the seborrhoeic keratosis as much as possible and achieve the flattest result possible, complete removal or a perfectly flat result cannot always be guaranteed.

If, following review, the treating nurse considers that a further revision is clinically appropriate, one revision treatment will be offered free of charge.

Any additional revision treatments beyond this initial revision will be chargeable at £75 per session.

Please be aware that individual healing responses vary and some residual lesion, textural change or skin irregularity may remain following treatment.
