Who It’s For
You may benefit from surgical dermatology if you have a:

Common Questions
Will my procedure hurt?
Most dermatologic surgeries are performed with local anesthesia, so you’ll feel little to no discomfort during treatment.
Will I have a scar?
All skin surgery leaves a mark, but our physicians use advanced closure techniques and post-care to make scars as faint as possible. Our lasers can be utilized to minimize scarring.
How long is recovery?
Most patients return to normal activity within a day or two. Our team provides detailed care instructions to promote fast, smooth healing.
Can I combine surgery with cosmetic treatment?
Yes — we often use laser resurfacing or other cosmetic options to refine surgical results once healing is complete.
