Certain dermatology conditions may require minor surgery in order to effectively treat the lesion and ensure a healthy recovery. These procedures may be performed for medical or cosmetic purposes, depending on each patient’s individual condition, and aim to restore the health and appearance of the skin. Our surgical procedures are performed on an outpatient basis and utilize minimally invasive techniques to achieve the most effective results with reduced trauma, downtime and scarring.
Some of our surgical dermatology procedures include:
