Precision Procedures for Healthier Specialized Skin Procedures with Precision and Care
Explore dermatological procedures for selected skin growths, nail conditions, scars and other concerns requiring medical or surgical management. Every procedure begins with a clinical assessment to determine the most appropriate treatment for your skin.
What is Dermatosurgery?
Dermatosurgery is a specialized branch of dermatology involving procedures used to diagnose or treat conditions affecting the skin, hair and nails. Depending on the condition, these procedures may include skin biopsies, mole removal, skin tag removal, nail surgery, scar treatments and selected surgical procedures for vitiligo.
Did you know?
Not every mole or skin growth needs removal. However, a growth that changes in size, shape or colour, or begins bleeding, should be medically assessed to determine whether further investigation is necessary.
Why Choose Dermatosurgery?
Dermatosurgical procedures can help manage selected skin conditions, remove troublesome growths and obtain tissue samples when a diagnosis requires confirmation.
Safe, minimally invasive outpatient procedures
Accurate diagnosis with dermatologist supervisors
Minimal downtime and faster recovery
Focus on both medical and cosmetic outcomes
