Can Thermo-lo help with seborrheic keratosis?

Question

I have seborrheic keratosis on my face and since I am of olive complexion the spots show up dark and greyish. I was thinking of trying a thermo-lo treatment to help remove or lighten these. Do you think it will help?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

at home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (MTS roller with anteage MD ampules weekly, see linkt) should be started now to prevent further aging.  you can do light desiccation during these peels or lasers to help the small individual spots.

For facial rejuvenation,  I would suggest a combination approach of 
1) skin care with products and PRP/microneedling
2) PDT light therapy few times a month with growth factors
3) laser treatments like clear and brilliant regularly and a few times a year Fraxel/halo Viva, Co2/Erbium
4) Sculptra injections a few times a year for collagen production with fillers like juvederm/restylane/belotero/radiesse/bellafill
5) thermage/ultherapy for yearly skin tightening with or without PDO or cone based instalift threads for lifting
6) botox every 2-3 months to stop movement lines and prevent lines at rest
7) deep microneedling RF like Fractora/morpheus8 for tightening of the skin
8) Vascular laser like vbeam/excel V or BBL forever young treatment every quarter (3-4 months)

Best, Dr. Emer.

I am not very familiar with the Thermo-lo device, which uses radio frequency to treat skin lesions. However, seborrheic keratoses are frequently treated with a Hyfrecator, a device that uses a high resistance electrical current to destroy the lesion, which seems similar. I personally prefer to freeze the lesions, however, since the healing is fast and requires no effort on your part.
