Below, you’ll find an overview of the surgical dermatology services we offer:
Skin Cancer Removal
Skin cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer, but when detected early, is highly treatable. We specialize in the diagnosis and surgical removal of various types of skin cancer, including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma.
Our approach includes:
Excision Surgery
Used for larger or deeper skin cancers, this procedure involves removing the tumor along with a margin of healthy tissue to ensure complete removal.
Mohs Micrographic Surgery (Coming Soon)
A precise technique that removes cancerous tissue while sparing as much healthy tissue as possible. Ideal for treating skin cancer in cosmetically sensitive areas such as the face, neck, and hands.
Benign Lesion Removal
Not all skin growths are harmful, but they can be unsightly or cause discomfort. We offer removal services for various benign lesions, including:
Cysts
Encapsulated lumps filled with fluid or semi-solid material.
Lipomas
Soft, fatty lumps that grow under the skin.
Moles
Non-cancerous growths that can be removed for cosmetic reasons or if they become irritated or change in appearance.
Skin Tags
Small, benign growths that often appear in areas where skin rubs together.
We use advanced techniques to remove these lesions with minimal scarring, ensuring the best aesthetic results.
Scar Revision
Scars can be a source of concern, particularly if they are large, raised, or located in a visible area. We offer surgical scar revision techniques to improve the appearance of scars caused by injuries, surgeries, or previous skin conditions.
Our methods include:
Excisional Scar Revision
Removing the scarred tissue and carefully stitching the wound to minimize the appearance of the new scar.
Steroid Injections
To flatten and soften raised scars, particularly keloids.
Cryosurgery
Cryosurgery is a minimally invasive procedure that uses extreme cold to destroy abnormal skin tissue. This method is often used for:
- Warts: Effective for removing warts by freezing the tissue, causing it to fall off naturally.
- Actinic Keratosis: Precancerous lesions that are frozen to prevent them from developing into skin cancer.
- Seborrheic Keratosis: Non-cancerous skin growths that can be easily treated with cryosurgery.
