Understanding Actinic Keratoses
Actinic keratoses (AKs) are precancerous skin lesions caused by years of sun exposure. These rough, scaly patches appear most commonly on sun-exposed areas like the face, scalp, hands, and arms. While AKs are benign, they have the potential to develop into squamous cell carcinoma if left untreated. Modern laser technology offers an effective, precise treatment option for eliminating these lesions.
