Answer Snippet
Eskata - How long will it take to get results?
eskata treatment for SK's
Feb 19, 2019
Thank you for inquiring about Eskata! This is such an easy treatment to get rid of unwanted SK's. What to expect, the Sk's that are treated turn white and crumble off. You can experience a slight stinging/irritation/crusting to the sight thats been treated for less then 10 minutes. Over the the course of 3 weeks, the lesion should clear. In some cases a second treatment is needed.
