Not everything that needs to be done in a dermatology office requires a surgical suite or weeks of recovery. A large portion of what we address in routine visits falls into the category of problems that can be resolved quickly and effectively during a single appointment — warts that have been present for a year, cysts that have slowly become uncomfortable, precancerous spots that need to be frozen, inflamed lesions that will respond to a direct injection.
“Minor” describes the scope, not the attention to detail. These procedures are done with the same precision as more involved surgery. A cyst removal done poorly is a cyst that fills back up, or a recurrence in six months, or a wound complication. Cryotherapy applied without understanding the lesion being treated can miss the mark or cause unnecessary tissue damage. We approach every procedure as something worth doing correctly the first time.
