You can reduce your risk of actinic keratosis by minimizing your sun exposure and protecting your skin from ultraviolet (UV) rays.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The most effective popular treatment is Freezing (cryotherapy) where an extremely cold substance, such as liquid nitrogen, is applied to skin lesions directly. The substance freezes the skin surface, causing blistering or peeling. As your skin heals, the lesions slough off, allowing new skin to appear. Cryotherapy is the most common treatment; it takes only a few minutes and can be performed in our doctor&#8217;s office.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_btn title=&#8221;Cryotherapy &#8211; Read More&#8221; shape=&#8221;square&#8221; color=&#8221;orange&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fdimensionn.com\/alrustom%2Fcryotherapy%2F&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row top_margin=&#8221;page_margin_top_section&#8221; el_position=&#8221;last&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;80px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full-width&#8221;][vc_column]<div class=\"templatera_shortcode\"><style type=\"text\/css\" data-type=\"vc_shortcodes-default-css\">.vc_do_btn{margin-bottom:22px;}<\/style><style type=\"text\/css\" data-type=\"vc_shortcodes-custom-css\">.vc_custom_1784113031730{padding-top: 125px !important;padding-bottom: 125px !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/dimensionn.com\/alrustom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/beautiful-young-woman-HD-II.webp?id=15477) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}.vc_custom_1783851735649{margin-left: 17% !important;padding-top: 80px !important;padding-right: 80px !important;padding-bottom: 80px !important;padding-left: 80px !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/dimensionn.com\/alrustom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/background-light-1.webp?id=15263) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}<\/style><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_custom_1784113031730 vc_row-has-fill full-width vc_row-o-content-middle vc_row-flex\"><div class=\"wpb_animate_when_almost_visible wpb_fadeIn fadeIn wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-4 vc_col-has-fill vc_custom_1783851735649\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h1>Feel your best.<\/h1>\n<h1>Look your best.<\/h1>\n<p>Explore advanced skin, beauty, and body care treatments designed to rejuvenate, enhance, and restore your confidence at Dr. Kamil Al Rustom Skin &amp; Laser Centre.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 32px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div><div class=\"vc_btn3-container vc_btn3-inline vc_do_btn\" ><a class=\"vc_general vc_btn3 vc_btn3-size-md vc_btn3-shape-rounded vc_btn3-style-modern vc_btn3-color-orange\" href=\"https:\/\/dimensionn.com\/alrustom\/contact-en\/\" title=\"\">Book Your Consultation Now<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-4\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-4\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Actinic Keratosis An actinic keratosis is a rough, scaly patch on skin that develops from years of exposure to the sun.
