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.
