Seborrheic Keratosis Removal
Expert Seborrheic Keratosis Removal with Cryotherapy at VSM Pharmacy
Dealing with keratosis can be frustrating and unsightly. If you’re experiencing seborrheic keratosis (a harmless, waxy growth), VSM Pharmacy offers a state-of-the-art solution to help you regain smooth and healthy skin: cryotherapy for keratosis removal.
What is Keratosis?
Keratosis refers to a variety of skin conditions characterized by an overgrowth of keratin on the skin’s surface. The most common types include:
- Actinic Keratosis (AK): Often caused by sun damage, these rough, scaly patches can potentially progress to skin cancer and typically appear on areas exposed to the sun.
- Seborrheic Keratosis (SK): These noncancerous skin growths are typically brown, black, or light tan and appear on the face, chest, shoulders, or back.
While seborrheic keratosis is usually not a health threat, many people choose to remove them for cosmetic reasons or because they cause discomfort. Actinic keratosis removal is more urgent due to the potential risk of skin cancer and must be managed by your GP.
Advantages of Cryotherapy for Keratosis Removal
Cryotherapy is a preferred treatment for various types of keratoses due to its effectiveness and convenience. Here’s why it’s a popular choice:
- Non-Invasive: No cuts or invasive surgery are required.
- Fast Treatment: Sessions are typically brief, often under a minute per lesion.
- Minimal Discomfort: The process is generally well-tolerated with only temporary discomfort.
- Effective Results: Cryotherapy has a high success rate, especially for Seborrheic keratosis.
- No Downtime: Patients can immediately resume daily activities post-treatment.
How Cryotherapy Works for Keratosis Removal
The cryotherapy procedure at VSM Pharmacy involves the following steps:
- Evaluation: Our clinicians will examine your skin and determine if cryotherapy is the right approach for your keratosis.
- Application: Liquid nitrogen is applied to the keratosis using a spray pen, freezing the abnormal skin cells.
- Response: The treated area may turn red and possibly blister after the procedure; this is a normal reaction.
- Healing: Over the next few days to weeks, the keratosis will scab over and eventually fall off, leaving healthy skin in its place.
- Follow-Up: Multiple treatments may be necessary to ensure complete removal and to monitor skin for any additional changes.
Post-Treatment Care and Healing
After your cryotherapy treatment, it’s important to care for the affected area:
- Protect the treated area from sunlight by wearing sunscreen or clothing.
- Gently clean the area daily and apply a plaster if necessary.
- Avoid picking at the scab to prevent scarring.
- Follow any additional aftercare instructions provided by our specialists.

What Do Our Customers Say?
My mother had a skin tag on her face which used to sometimes catch on clothes and bleed, and was generally unsightly. She asked her GP who said as it wasnt cancerous they would not remove it, and recommended she look for private removal.The local private hospital wanted to charge over £800 ( for a pre 'operation' assessment, the operation, and the follow up appointment ).I saw VSM advertised and we thought we would try it.The pharmacist looked at the skin tag and said yes it was suitable for cryotherapy. She cleaned my mothers face, and 'sprayed' the skin tag twice. She said it should drop off in about a week.After a week, the skin tag has now completely gone, a slight pink mark where it was, and I am sure that will heal in the coming weeks.This was all painless, straight forward, professional and for less than 10% of the cost of the private hospital.We are all delighted with how easy it all was, and would recommend VSM to anyone wondering if they need a skin tag or mole removing. Thank you
We had a really positive experience getting travel vaccinations at this pharmacy. Fast, efficient and friendly service and reasonably priced too.
Very knowledgeable and professional service. Had some cryo work done. Pain free. Would highly recommended. Many thanks.
Attended here for a yellow fever vaccine for an upcoming trip to Kenya, great service, friendly staff, highly recommended!
Knowledgable and caring service provided to my son. Would fully recommend their cryotherapy service to anyone.
Excellent and efficient service. I had one mole treated first just to see the results. Personally, I had no problems at all and the mole came of itself after the suggested time frame. Cryotherapy for me is the best option for mole removal. Highly recommend.
Cryotherapy - moles on face. Very easy booking system, very good price and excellent service when I visited VSM Pharmacy. Jirina was so nice and helpful, really good experience and very happy to recommend
I enjoyed an on time appointment and the experience was seamless and professionally done I would certainly go their again
I have 2 moles under my armpit that are making my life a miserable. Extremely itchy and sore. Unable to use deodorant, as it irritates it. I spoke to the lovely pharmacist assistant and she told me how to book it online. Nikki. I also spoke to the lovely boss, Jarina. Communication was outstanding. I had the treatment today, which was painless.Looking forward to not scratching any more and to be able to use deodorant, without irritation. Wish I had done this years ago.Thank you so much. This will make my life so much better. Thanks to all at VSM Frimley.Keep up the good work.
I needed a small freezing treatment and it was done with professionalism, warmth and compassion. Very good service indeed

First visit to this pharmacy when I attended for allergy testing. The lady who dealt with me explained the process clearly. Nice pharmacy which appears to offer many services. Quite busy when I was there, friendly staff and clearly knew many of their customers well. Street Parking outside free for 1hour or there is a carpark close by with free parking for the first 30 minutes. Just remember to register your vehicle and get a ticket.
Had cryotherapy today on my face and the lady was very efficient and explained the treatment and what to expect afterwards.
Travel vaccination service was great: easy to book, smooth consultation and quick follow-up. Jirina very good administering injections to my teenage daughter.

Very helpful consultation experience. Appropriate vaccinations discussed and options covered in detail. All very reassuring and no suggestion of any unnecessary treatment.
So lovely to have a community pharmacist that takes good care of me. The girls are always friendly and helpful. Many thanks!
I visited VSM Pharmacy today.Removal of small amounts of wax from both ears.The level of service was excellent.
Cryotherapy appointment with Jirina. Pharmacy has a semi-private treatment room. No hesitation in recommending. Lovely lady. Utmost care and detailed explanation. Not painful. Will go back for assessment.
Good friendly service. Great help with which vaccines I needed for all my travels
Visited today for travel vaccinations for myself and my son. My son is severely needle phobic and Jirina was so patient and understanding. He's so proud of himself for managing to have them done and Jirina was quick and professional which gave him the confidence needed. Would recommend to anyone needing travel vaccinations, lots of great information shared too.
Very helpful and after a few visits for ear microsuction (all included in the initial price) they cleared my ears of wax and now I can hear again.
first time using their flu jab service. Excellent. Booked and paid online. Will be back next year!
Very professional and thorough. Identified problem and put plan in place to fix. I would recommend.
Visited the pharmacy for a blood pressure test.The pharmacist was very helpful and reassurin
Great service and staff who are very friendly and helpful! Recommend them always.
Professional, friendly service. Easy to book and amazing value. Cryotherapy was less than half the price of what is offered elsewhere.
I have been visiting this pharmacy for years and they are the most helpful, welcoming group of staff I’ve ever met. They go out of their way to help me with my boys medication. Thank you so much Jirina and the team. I hope you see this review because you make my life easier and brighter.
Had my flu jab today. Easy booking system, on time and all questions answered in full. This is a brilliant Chemist, was recommended by my doctor years ago and have never regretted using them. Lovely staff. Thankyou.
Jirina very helpful and very gentle with administering the vaccines. 😉 Thank you very much
The staff are so friendly and helpful. They look after their customers like family. Wouldn't change to any other pharmacy. Absolutely love them.
Went for ear wax removal today, which was exactly on time and the procedure was excellently executed. Would recommend.
Excellent service from start to finish. Professional, informative and helpful. Highly recommended.
I have to say that Mac made us very welcome. She explained everything to us. She did the treatment there and then I was very satisfied with the whole experience and would recommend this treatment
I had my ear cleaned for wax at VSM-Promptly served-I was clearly explained that I did not need to do both ears, as one was very clean (a photograph was shown to me where I could see my left ear's ear drum)-The lady was thorough and showed me the 'after' pictures of my right ear once she had finishedI thoroughly recommend using VSM Pharmacy for getting your ears cleaned of waxIf I had to really nit pick, I would suggest that the email which is sent out as confirmation of booking could include a recommendation on using some ear drops to soften the wax for easy cleaning, before the appointment. I was luckily not affected, and my wax came out easy.
Very good and very quick. Booked my flue jab and arrived at the designated time, in and out in no time.
Very helpful, quick and polite service will always use them if I need anything
Excellent service!Couldn’t feel a thing when the needle went through my arm 👏
I booked a COVID vaccination for the same day and managed to nip in and be back before work noticed I had left. So an efficient and friendly job by the pharmacy, thanks.
Jirina was great.I was in and out very quickly and the best thing is..... I CAN HEAR AGAIN.Hopefully I won't need it again but if I do I'd definitely return here.
Nice peopleHighly recommend flue jab done for another year great service
Having attended our booked appointments at YSM Pharmacy, Camberley for Flu Vaccintation at 0900 this morning, we would like to report our delight and thanks for the experience. Staff member Julie was most proffesional in all she did, beforehand, during and after administrating the jabs.In fact, we agree that from now on, the lady deserves to be respectfully referred to as "Jabber Julie".Yours, Sylvia & Richard Manning.
As always with VSM, the service was promptly, friendly and efficient. I would dream of going anywhere else for my annual flu jabs and filling prescriptions.
Absolutely fab pharmacy. Had flu jab today. Very quick and painless. Staff were great. Highly recommended.
We were delighted to visit this pharmacy for the first time to find it such a well set out and sparkling clean place. It is clear a lot of pride goes in to the business and the staff are a credit to the store too. Thank you for your excellent care and impeccable store.Christina
