Surgical Dermatology

Surgical dermatology focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of medically necessary and cosmetic skin conditions that require surgical intervention. At Quinn Dermatology, our board-certified dermatologists are trained and skilled in performing a variety of surgical interventions including the removal of benign or cancerous growths, skin biopsies, scar revision, and other surgical interventions or treatments.

Surgical Procedures

Cyst removal
Lipoma removal
Mole removal
Skin cancer removal
Wart removal

When it comes to the surgical dermatology interventions, we may recommend:

Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy involves the use of extreme cold (liquid nitrogen) to freeze and destroy abnormal tissue, such as warts and precancerous growths.

Mohs surgery

Mohs surgery is a specialized surgical method used to remove skin cancer. During Mohs surgery, thin layers of skin are removed one layer at a time and examined under a microscope until cancer cells are no longer found.

Excision

This procedure involves removal of a skin lesion or growth using a surgical knife or scalpel, typically performed under local anesthesia.

Scar Revision

This involves the removal or alteration of a scar to improve its appearance. Techniques may include surgical excision, laser treatment, or injections of medication.

If you are concerned about a skin condition, please be sure to see a board-certified dermatologic surgeon. They can diagnose your condition and recommend the best course of treatment. It is important to note that not all skin conditions require surgical treatment, and a dermatologist will typically recommend the most appropriate course of treatment based on the individual's specific condition and needs.

  Dr Quinn is excellent... compassionate, communicates well and addresses the issue thoroughly. I was a bit put off initially by the requirement of either a credit card on file or a 200.00 deposit...since I am a VA patient, but in the end, I was so glad I went there. Many Drs are dismissive and lack empathy...not Dr Quinn. He is knowledgeable and thorough. His office staff is very kind and accommodating as well. I highly recommend him!
