Surgical Dermatology
At Dermatology Associates, we are highly skilled at removing skin cancers and unwanted benign growths. We employ a number of surgical techniques so the respective lesion can be removed as definitively and cosmetically as possible. Our surgical procedures include the following:
Mohs micrographic surgery for basal cell and squamous cell skin cancer
Surgical excision for both benign and malignant lesions
Electrodessication and curettage (ED&C) of superficial skin cancers
Shave excision of benign moles or nevi
Earlobe repair for torn earlobes or stretched earlobes from gauge earrings
Scar revision
Cosmetic mole removal
Cyst removal
Skin tag removal
Post-op, we employ a number of modalities as needed to optimize healing. We use CO2 laser resurfacing, Silagen silicone gel pads and medicinal creams.
