They are more common on sun-exposed areas such as the face, scalp, ears, neck, forearms and backs of the hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are often low-grade, but they need proper assessment because some lesions can look similar to early skin cancers or may need monitoring, prescription treatment or referral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Important points before treatment is considered<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Actinic keratoses are assessed first. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Only selected low-grade lesions are treated. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thick, painful, bleeding or changing lesions may need referral. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clear aftercare and safety-netting advice is provided.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Treatment options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Selected acrtinic keratosis may be treated with <a href=\"https:\/\/gpprivateservicestest.wordpress.com\/cryopen-o\/\">CryoPen O+ <\/a>cryotherapy or another appropriate minor procedure depending on the size, thickness, site, symptoms and clinical assessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most suitable approach will be discussed during your appointment, including expected healing, aftercare and possible risks such as redness, blistering, pigment change, scarring, incomplete response or recurrence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Selected Actinic Keratosis Pricing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Assessment and First Lesion<\/strong><br>\u00a395 first lesion<br>Includes assessment and treatment of the first selected suitable actinic keratosis where clinically appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Next 3 Additional Lesions<\/strong><br>\u00a330 each<br>For up to three additional suitable lesions treated in the same appointment, where clinically appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Further Additional Lesions<\/strong><br>\u00a315 each<br>For further suitable lesions after the first lesion plus next three additional lesions, where treatment remains appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Complex, Thick or Multiple Lesions<\/strong><br>Fee confirmed on assessment<br>Some lesions may vary in price depending on number, size, site, thickness and complexity.

Advice is given on treatment, monitoring or referral where appropriate.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Can CryoPen O+ treat actinic keratoses?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Selected low-grade actinic keratoses may be suitable for <a href=\"https:\/\/gpprivateservicestest.wordpress.com\/cryopen-o\/\">CryoPen O+ <\/a>treatment after clinical assessment. Treatment is not offered if the lesion looks suspicious, thickened, painful, bleeding, ulcerated or uncertain.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Can several actinic keratoses be treated in one visit?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes, yes. This depends on the number, size, site and appearance of the lesions. If there are many areas of sun damage, a different treatment plan or referral may be more appropriate.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>When should I book a mole or skin lesion review instead?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Book a mole or skin lesion review if the lesion is changing, bleeding, painful, crusting, ulcerated, unusually dark, rapidly growing or uncertain in appearance.
