Minor Skin Surgery (Dermatosurgery)
Skinessence
I personally remove skin tags, moles, cysts, and ingrown toenails in quick, minimally invasive procedures with minimal scarring and fast recovery.
Pricing Guide
Cosmetic Mole Removal (Laser or Surgical)
Procedure Preparation
- Lesion Assessment: Dermoscopic check to ensure the mole is benign (harmless) before removal.
- Anesthesia: Includes topical numbing cream (for laser) or local infiltration anesthesia (for excision) to ensure a painless experience.
Removal Technique (Doctor's Discretion)
- CO2 Laser Ablation: Vaporization of the mole tissue layer by layer. Best for flat or slightly raised moles. Minimal bleeding, forms a scab.
- Surgical Excision: Elliptical incision using a fine scalpel to remove the mole with its root. Best for large, hairy, or deep dermal moles.
Post-Procedure Care
- Wound Closure: Antibiotic gel for laser treatments or fine non-reactive sutures for excision cases.
- Suture Removal: A scheduled visit on Day 7 is included if surgical excision is performed.
- Aftercare: Application of waterproof dressing and guidance on scar management.
Skin Tags & DPN Removal Session
Preparation
- Area Mapping: Identification of all treatable lesions (Skin tags, DPNs) in the specific zone (e.g., Anterior Neck or Full Face).
- Topical Anesthesia: Generous application of numbing cream 30 to 45 minutes prior to the procedure to ensure comfort.
The Procedure
- Technology: Use of Radiofrequency Cautery (RF) or CO2 Laser to seal blood vessels while removing growths, ensuring zero bleeding.
- Batch Removal: Removal of up to 15 to 20 lesions within the selected zone in a single sitting.
- Precision Work: Preservation of surrounding healthy skin to prevent pigmentation issues.
Post-Treatment
- Immediate Care: Application of antibiotic cream and soothing gel to reduce redness.
- Recovery Protocol: Instructions on sun protection and crust management (scabs fall off in 5 to 7 days).
Surgical Ingrown Toenail Correction
Pre-Procedure & Anesthesia
- Consultation & Assessment: Evaluation of nail curvature and infection level.
- Digital Ring Block: Administration of local anesthesia (Lignocaine) at the base of the toe for 100% painless procedure (numbing lasts 1 to 2 hours).
- Sterile Prep: Cleaning with Betadine/Alcohol and draping to maintain a surgical-grade sterile field.
Surgical Procedure
- Partial Nail Avulsion: Precision removal of only the problematic lateral nail plate using a specialized nail splitter.
- Chemical Matricectomy: Application of Phenol to the nail matrix (root) to destroy cells responsible for ingrowth and prevent recurrence.
- Debridement: Removal of any granulation tissue or pus pockets if infection is present.
Post-Care & Materials
- Primary Dressing: Application of antibiotic ointment and non-adherent sterile gauge dressing.
- Recovery Guidance: Prescription for antibiotics/painkillers and instruction on footwear.
- Follow-up: One complimentary follow-up visit for wound check and dressing change.
Sebaceous Cyst Surgical Excision
Surgical Setup
- Sterile Field: Procedure performed in a dedicated minor OT with full sterile draping.
- Local Anesthesia: Infiltration of anesthesia around the cyst to completely block pain sensation.
Excision Procedure
- Incision: A linear or elliptical cut designed to match skin tension lines to minimize visible scarring.
- Sac Removal: Complete extraction of the cyst wall (capsule). Essential to prevent the cyst from returning.
- Hemostasis: Controlling any minor bleeding using cautery or pressure.
Closure & Follow-up
- Suturing: Layered closure or surface closure using non-absorbable sutures (monofilament nylon) for a neat cosmetic finish.
- Pressure Dressing: Application of a compression dressing to prevent fluid accumulation.
- Post-Op Visits: Includes one visit for dressing change (Day 2) and one visit for suture removal (Day 7 to 10).
About Minor Skin Surgery (Dermatosurgery)
What I Do
Most folks come in thinking a small lump or mole is just a minor thing, but it can bug you more than you’d expect. I handle things like skin tags, DPNs, sebaceous cysts, moles, and those annoying ingrown toenails. Every procedure, I do myself - I don’t hand it off to someone else.
How I Work
- I’m a board-certified dermatologist with special training in dermatosurgery, so you get expert dermatosurgery care every time.
- My clinic’s procedure rooms are sterile and USFDA-approved.
- Local anesthesia means you won’t feel pain during the process.
- I put a lot of focus on cosmetic outcome. My goal is minimal scarring, so results look as natural as possible.
What to Expect
- Scarless skin tag removal and cosmetic mole removal procedure are both quick (usually 10 minutes or less) and healing is fast - just a few days, hardly any marks left behind.
- Minimally invasive cyst surgery takes about 30 minutes; I keep incisions tiny to avoid scars and make sure cysts don’t come back.
- Ingrown toenail surgery is usually done in half an hour, no stitches needed, and you walk out the same day.
No fancy promises - just straightforward, safe care that puts your comfort and appearance first.
