Treatments in Medical Treatments

• Skin Tag Removal The one that catches on your necklace, or your collar, or your razor. Skin tag removal is one of the quickest things we do: the growth is examined to confirm what it is, the area is numbed, and it comes off in a few minutes. You leave without it.
• Skin Cancer Diagnosis A full skin exam takes about ten minutes, needs no preparation and involves nothing more than a careful look by a board-certified dermatologist. Found early and treated properly, skin cancer is highly treatable, and that is the entire reason the appointment is worth putting in the calendar.
• Skin Cancer Surgery & Mohs Referrals A biopsy has come back and there is something to treat. From here the question is which approach suits this particular cancer, in this particular place, on you. Many are treated here in the office. Where a Mohs surgeon is the better route, we arrange it and stay involved.
• Photodynamic Therapy If you have kept finding rough, scaly spots on your face or scalp, photodynamic therapy treats the whole sun-damaged area in one visit rather than freezing them off one at a time. A solution goes on, a blue light activates it, and the precancerous cells clear as your skin heals.
• Nitronox™ Nitronox is laughing gas, breathed through a mask during a treatment you are already having. It takes the edge off the discomfort and the nerves without putting you to sleep, so you stay awake, aware and able to talk the whole time. It starts working in a minute or two and it is gone five to ten minutes after you stop.
