Why Dermatological Surgery?

During the course of your dermatological care, sometimes a surgical procedure becomes your best option. Whether it’s a necessity to treat a medical condition, such as skin cancer, or an aesthetic preference such as eyelid rejuvenation, there are times when dermatologic surgery is the path that offers the best results.

What is Dermatological Surgery?

Dermatologic surgery involves the diagnosis and treatment of conditions of the skin, hair, nails, veins, membranes and surrounding tissue by a range of surgical, reconstructive, cosmetic and non-surgical methods. The purpose of dermatologic surgery is to remedy and enhance the health and appearance of your skin.

Thanks to clinical advances, new techniques and instrumentation, many dermatologic surgeries now are minimally invasive and require only local or regional anesthesia. This means less downtime, easier recovery and better results for you.
