Conquer Skin Concerns with Smart Skin Dermatology's In-Office Procedures
At Smart Skin Dermatology, we believe in providing comprehensive solutions for all your skin care needs. Beyond specialized surgical procedures, we offer a wide range of in-office treatments to address various concerns effectively and conveniently.
Electrodesiccation and Curettage (ED&C)
This versatile technique utilizes a specialized instrument to scrape or cauterize benign and precancerous skin growths. Ideal for treating conditions like superficial skin cancers, certain moles, warts, and actinic keratosis, ED&C offers a quick recovery time, but has the downside of potentially worse scarring.
Cryotherapy
Also known as cryosurgery, this procedure harnesses the power of freezing to destroy unwanted cells. By precisely applying liquid nitrogen, cryotherapy effectively treats benign lesions like warts, skin tags, and certain precancers. With minimal discomfort and fast healing, cryotherapy provides a convenient and effective solution for various skin concerns.
Kenalog Injections
For targeted treatment of acne cysts, psoriasis, and chronic eczema, intralesional injections offer a precise and effective approach. Kenalog, a corticosteroid medication, directly addresses the inflammatory response, reducing swelling, itching, and discomfort. While temporary side effects like white spots or dents may occur, they typically resolve over time.
Skin Biopsies
Obtaining a precise tissue sample is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. At Smart Skin Dermatology, we offer three primary biopsy methods:
Shave Biopsy
For superficial skin lesions, a shave biopsy gently removes a thin layer of skin using a razor blade or scalpel, providing a quick and minimally invasive diagnostic approach.
Punch Biopsy
When deeper skin layers are affected, a punch biopsy utilizes a circular blade to extract a core of tissue, allowing for a more comprehensive examination of the underlying structures.
Excisional Biopsy
For suspicious lesions or those requiring complete removal, an excisional biopsy utilizes a scalpel to remove the entire growth and a margin of healthy surrounding tissue, providing the most detailed diagnostic information.
Personalized Care for Optimal Results
At Smart Skin Dermatology, we understand that no two skin concerns are alike. Our experienced dermatologist and advanced practice providers carefully evaluate your individual needs and recommend the most appropriate in-office procedure to achieve optimal results. Whether you seek to address benign growths, manage inflammatory conditions, or obtain a definitive diagnosis, we offer a personalized approach to ensure your complete satisfaction.
