Specialist surgical dermatology for skin conditions
Dermatologic surgery is a specialised area of dermatology focused on the diagnosis and treatment of skin, hair, nail, and related conditions using both surgical and non-surgical methods.
At the practice, surgical dermatology includes in-office procedures for medically necessary and selected cosmetic skin concerns. From the removal of benign skin growths to the treatment of cysts, skin tags, warts, keloids, and certain skin cancers such as basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma, procedures are performed with care, precision, and attention to healing.
