Surgical Procedures
Cyst Removal
Cysts that are becoming tender, rapidly growing or obviously irritated and
inflamed do require removal and in these instances it is usually covered
by
insurance. Because cysts grow deep under
the skin, removal requires deep surgical excision with stitches, cutting
through the skin to dissect out the entire cyst, including removal of the
cyst lining.
Laser Treatments
If you have tiny wrinkles, acne scars and other
minor skin imperfections, then laser resurfacing can help you. Board
Certified Dermatologist, Babar K. Rao, MD, FAAD,can improve sun damaged
and acne scarred skin which often cause concern to both men and women.
Mole Removal
Most moles are no threat to your health and need not be removed.
Some, however, change over time and can lead to cancer. A mole usually is
removed by shaving or cutting it from the skin. If it is large, you will
need stitches. A small mole, or one that is shaved off, may require only a
small bandage. Your surgeon, Babar K. Rao, MD, FAAD, may send a piece of
the mole to the laboratory to check for cancer.
Rosacea Treatment
Board Certified Dermatologist, Babar K. Rao, MD, FAAD, often
recommends a combination of treatments tailored to the individual patient.
Together, these treatments can stop the progress of rosacea and sometimes
reverse it.
Skin Cancer Treatment
The Skin and Cancer Center in Manhattan, New York and Fresno,
California offers a comprehensive approach to melanoma detection (skin
cancer), treatment and follow-up care.
Skintag Removal
Skin tags are little pieces of extra skin decorating the neck,
under-ams and other areas of the skin of many of us. Board Certified
Dermatologist, Babar K. Rao, can easily remove your skintags in his
Manhattan, New York or Fresno, California office.
Spider Veins Treatment
Spider veins are those small, unsightly red, purple or blue blood
vessels found along the surface of the legs, thighs and ankles. These
veins are actually tiny and unsightly varicose veins which do not perform
any circulatory function. These veins can be removed with both appearance
and blood circulation benefit.
Tattoo Removal
Lasers remove tattoos by vaporizing the pigment
colors with a high-intensity light beam. Black tattoo pigment absorbs all
laser wavelengths, making it the easiest to treat. Other colors, such as
green, selectively absorb laser light. These colors can only be treated by
selected lasers based upon the pigment color.
Lasers have become the standard treatment for tattoo removal because they
offer a "bloodless," low risk, highly effective alternative with minimal
side effects. Each procedure is done on an outpatient basis during a
single or series of visits.
