Comprehensive Surgical Dermatology Services at Beyond Skin Dermatology in Aurora, Colorado

A skin biopsy is performed when a suspicious skin lesion needs further examination to rule out conditions such as skin cancer or inflammatory skin diseases. Dr. Kim removes a small skin sample for lab testing to provide an accurate diagnosis and determine the best course of treatment.

Depending on the type and size of the skin cancer, removal options may include excision, electrosurgery, or cryosurgery. Excision involves cutting out the cancerous tissue along with a margin of healthy skin, while electrosurgery and cryosurgery use heat or freezing techniques to destroy cancerous cells.

Cryosurgery uses extreme cold (liquid nitrogen) to freeze and destroy abnormal skin cells, often used for precancerous lesions and warts. Conversely, electrosurgery uses controlled electrical currents to remove or cauterize unwanted skin tissue, commonly used for benign and malignant lesions.

Yes, our scar revision treatments aim to improve the appearance of scars caused by injury, surgery, or acne. Techniques such as excision, laser therapy, or dermal fillers may be used to minimize scarring and improve skin texture.

Most surgical dermatology procedures are performed under local anesthesia and require minimal downtime.
