Asked By:mnmpnut in Santa Clarita, CA

Would like to have these brown spots removed from my back. I believe they are called sebhorric keratosis? As you can see, they are taking over. My mother had them, so assuming they are genetic. Lucky me! I had some removed via Fraxel 2 resurfacing from my face and was pleased with the results. Is it possible to do the same for my back, and how many treatments would it take? Also wondering aproximate cost. Thank you!
