Is It Safe to Use Theradome if I Have Seborrheic Keratosis on My Scalp?

Many customers ask whether it is safe to use Theradome if they have Seborrheic Keratosis on the scalp.

Seborrheic Keratosis is a common, non-cancerous skin growth that often develops as people age. While these growths may vary in size, color, and appearance, they are generally considered benign and are not associated with skin cancer.

What Is Seborrheic Keratosis?

Seborrheic Keratosis is a harmless skin growth that can appear on various areas of the body, including the scalp.

These growths often appear as:

  • Raised or slightly elevated patches
  • Waxy or rough-textured areas
  • Tan, brown, or dark-colored spots
  • Well-defined growths on the skin surface

Although they can sometimes resemble other skin conditions, Seborrheic Keratoses are typically non-cancerous.

Can I Use Theradome if I Have Seborrheic Keratosis?

In general, Seborrheic Keratosis is not considered a contraindication for Theradome use.

Because Seborrheic Keratosis is a benign skin growth, Theradome treatments can typically be performed without concerns related to the condition itself.

Theradome uses FDA-cleared Laser Phototherapy (LPT) to deliver therapeutic red laser energy to the scalp and hair follicles and does not emit ultraviolet (UV) light.

InformationTheradome uses therapeutic red laser energy to support hair follicles without exposing the scalp to ultraviolet (UV) light.

Understanding the Difference Between Benign and Cancerous Lesions

The primary concern regarding scalp lesions is whether a growth has been diagnosed as cancerous.

Theradome has not been clinically tested on individuals with confirmed scalp cancers, melanoma, or other cancerous skin lesions, and it has not received FDA clearance for the treatment of these conditions.

For this reason, Theradome cannot make claims regarding the treatment or management of cancerous lesions.

If you have an undiagnosed scalp growth, changing lesion, or a lesion that has been identified as cancerous, consult your dermatologist or physician before beginning treatment.

How Laser Phototherapy Supports Hair Growth

Theradome is designed to deliver therapeutic red laser energy directly to the scalp and hair follicles.

This process helps support:

  • Cellular metabolism within hair follicles
  • ATP (cellular energy) production
  • Healthy scalp microcirculation
  • Oxygen and nutrient delivery to follicular tissue

Theradome is FDA-cleared for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern hair loss) and is designed to support healthy follicular activity.

Key Takeaway

Seborrheic Keratosis is a common, non-cancerous skin growth and is generally not considered a contraindication for Theradome use.

However, if you have a suspicious, changing, or cancerous scalp lesion, consult your healthcare provider before beginning treatment, as Theradome has not been clinically tested or FDA-cleared for the treatment of scalp cancers or melanoma.
