Keratosis Treatment in Albuquerque, NM
Gently remove raised, rough keratosis with non-invasive treatment at My Skin Esthetics in Albuquerque. Our high-frequency Skin Classic treatment helps restore smoother skin with minimal downtime.
Understanding Keratosis and How It’s Treated
Keratosis is a buildup of thickened skin that forms rough, textured patches on the surface. These growths are typically harmless but can become dry, flaky, or visually distracting. At My Skin Esthetics in Albuquerque, we use the Skin Classic device to treat keratosis with targeted high-frequency energy. This non-invasive method dries the surface of the growth, allowing it to shed naturally for smoother skin.
Where Keratosis Appears and Who It Affects
Keratosis can develop on areas that receive frequent sun exposure, such as the face, scalp, chest, shoulders, and hands. It’s more common in adults over 40 and tends to appear gradually over time. While these growths are benign, they can become rough or irritated. Many clients choose keratosis treatment at My Skin Esthetics in Albuquerque to improve their skin’s texture and feel more confident in their appearance.
What to Expect During Keratosis Treatment
Your appointment begins with a skin consultation to confirm that Skin Classic is the right option for your keratosis. During treatment, a fine-tipped probe delivers a quick pulse of high-frequency energy to the surface of the growth. The area may darken slightly before flaking off over the next several days. Most clients experience only mild discomfort and can return to normal activities right away. Our clients appreciate how quick and easy this treatment is with little to no downtime.
Why Skin Classic Is Ideal for Treating Keratosis
Skin Classic targets keratosis with precision, making it an excellent choice for treating rough, raised areas without cutting or freezing. The treatment is quick, safe, and especially effective for spots that are difficult to manage with traditional methods. It helps improve skin texture with minimal irritation and no harsh chemicals.

Frequently Asked Questions About Keratosis Treatment
Have questions about keratosis or treatment options? Find quick answers to common concerns below.
What is the main cause of keratosis?
Keratosis is typically caused by a buildup of keratin, a natural protein found in the skin. It often develops as a result of aging, repeated sun exposure, or genetics. At My Skin Esthetics in Albuquerque, we commonly treat clients with keratosis that has become rough or raised over time.
What does keratosis look like?
Keratosis usually appears as a rough, scaly patch or raised bump on the skin. It can range in color from light tan to dark brown and may look dry or crusty. If you're unsure whether a spot is keratosis, we recommend a consultation at My Skin Esthetics in Albuquerque for a closer evaluation.
What foods trigger keratosis?
There’s no proven link between food and the development of keratosis. However, maintaining healthy skin through a balanced diet rich in vitamins and antioxidants may support overall skin health. Keratosis is more commonly related to sun damage, age, and skin type rather than dietary choices.
Is it bad to scrape off a keratosis?
Yes, scraping off a keratosis at home can cause irritation, bleeding, or infection, and may lead to scarring. At My Skin Esthetics in Albuquerque, we use a safe, non-invasive method called Skin Classic to treat keratosis without cutting or damaging the surrounding skin.
Can I remove keratosis myself?
It’s not recommended to try removing keratosis on your own. Over-the-counter methods can be ineffective or unsafe. For best results, keratosis should be treated by a licensed esthetician or skincare professional. We offer keratosis treatment at our Albuquerque studio using Skin Classic for precise, gentle results.
