Surgical
Skin Cancer Excision
Many types of skin cancer will require removal by excision, either to diagnose the condition or to remove permanently cancerous cells.
Mole Removal
Moles can be removed by your dermatologist if you are unhappy with the way they look or if they become irritating due to catching on clothing or jewelry.
Lipoma Removal
Lipomas are fatty growths below the skin that can be removed surgically.
Cyst Removal
Cysts are very common and often do not require removal. However, if a cyst becomes cosmetically bothersome or symptomatic, the cyst can typically be removed permanently with a small surgical excision.
Skin Tag Removal
Skin tags can be quickly and safely removed if you feel they are unsightly or uncomfortable.
Benign Growth Removal
Benign growths, of which there are many different types, can often be removed with a simple procedure ranging from cryotherapy to excision to curettage.
