Removal of a Seborrhoeic Keratosis using EMS involves shaving it off the skin, using short wave diathermy. This is an electrical technique that is a little uncomfortable, but does not need a local anaesthetic. By using short wave diathermy, any minute blood vessels are immediately coagulated (sealed) meaning there’s no bleeding. There may however be a little bit of oozing of clear fluid that will form a scab.
