These common skin growths can occur on the face, neck, chest, back and body. Although harmless, many patients choose treatment because age warts can make the skin appear older, rougher or uneven.

What Is An Age Wart?
An age wart, medically known as a seborrhoeic keratosis, is a very common benign skin growth that develops with age.
Age warts often appear as:
β’ Brown, black or skin-coloured lesions
β’ Rough or waxy growths
β’ Flat or raised lesions
β’ Single or multiple growths
Many patients describe them as looking βstuck onβ to the skin.
They commonly occur on:
β’ Face
β’ Neck
β’ Chest
β’ Back
β’ Arms
Although harmless, they can become larger, thicker and more numerous over time.
Real Patient Results
Over the past 20 years, Dr Peter Kim has treated thousands of seborrhoeic keratoses and other benign skin lesions.
Below are examples of actual patients treated at Cosmetic Laser Sydney.


This patient underwent laser wart removal with us. Large facial warts often have deep roots and can be challenging to treat. While smaller warts may respond quickly, larger lesions frequently require multiple treatment sessions to achieve complete clearance.
In this case, it took 10 laser treatments to completely remove the wart down to its roots. The result was complete resolution with an excellent cosmetic outcome.

Why Accurate Diagnosis Matters
Most age warts are harmless.
However, some skin cancers and pre-cancerous lesions can occasionally resemble seborrhoeic keratoses.
For this reason, accurate diagnosis before treatment is essential.
Every lesion is personally assessed by Dr Peter Kim before treatment recommendations are made.
This medical assessment is one of the key differences between a doctor-operated laser clinic and non-medical cosmetic providers.
Why Do People Remove Age Warts?
Patients commonly seek treatment because age warts:
β’ Make the skin appear older
β’ Become larger over time
β’ Feel rough or lumpy
β’ Catch on clothing or jewellery
β’ Become irritated or itchy
β’ Affect confidence and appearance
Many patients find that removing age warts creates a smoother and more youthful appearance.
How Does Laser Age Wart Removal Work?
Laser treatment works by carefully removing the age wart layer by layer while minimising damage to surrounding skin.
The treatment is highly precise and can often achieve excellent cosmetic outcomes.
The choice of laser and treatment settings depends on:
β’ Lesion size
β’ Lesion depth
β’ Lesion location
β’ Skin type
β’ Cosmetic goals
Why Experience Matters
Laser treatment is highly operator-dependent.
Successful treatment requires:
β’ Accurate diagnosis
β’ Appropriate laser selection
β’ Correct treatment settings
β’ Understanding of wound healing
β’ Experience treating Asian and ethnic skin
Dr Peter Kim has over 20 years of experience treating seborrhoeic keratoses and other cosmetic skin lesions.
Age Wart Removal In Asian & Ethnic Skin
Asian and ethnic skin often contains higher levels of melanin and may be more prone to pigmentation changes following treatment.
Dr Peter Kim has extensive experience treating Asian and ethnic skin and carefully adjusts treatment protocols to maximise safety and cosmetic outcomes.
Many of our patients have Asian skin types and achieve excellent results.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Many smaller age warts can be removed in a single treatment.
Larger, thicker or more deeply rooted lesions may require multiple treatments.
Some patients with hundreds of age warts may undergo treatment over several sessions to gradually improve the appearance of the skin.
A personalised treatment plan will be discussed during consultation.
Recovery And Aftercare
Following treatment, the area may appear:
β’ Red
β’ Mildly swollen
β’ Dry or crusted
The treated lesion gradually separates as healing occurs.
Patients are generally advised to:
β’ Keep the area clean
β’ Avoid picking or scratching
β’ Use sunscreen
β’ Follow aftercare instructions carefully
Healing times vary according to lesion size and skin type.
Potential Risks And Complications
Laser treatment is generally very safe when performed by an experienced doctor.

β’ Temporary redness
β’ Pigmentation changes
β’ Delayed healing
β’ Infection (rare)
β’ Scarring (rare)

Will they come back?
Treated lesions are usually permanently removed.
However, new age warts may develop elsewhere over time as part of the ageing process.
