REMOVAL OF UNWANTED SKIN GROWTHS
Skin Lesion Removal in Connecticut
Skin lesions are growths, marks or patches that differ from the surrounding skin. They may include moles, birthmarks or other changes that develop over time.
Many lesions are noncancerous, but their appearance alone does not determine whether removal or further examination is appropriate. Dr. Melendez evaluates the lesion, its location and the patient’s concerns before recommending treatment.
Skin Lesion Removal May Be Considered For:
-
Moles or birthmarks
-
Unwanted skin growths
-
Lesions causing irritation or discomfort
-
Areas requiring examination after removal
IMPROVING THE APPEARANCE OF SCARS
Scar Revision in Connecticut
Scars may result from surgery, injury or a previous wound. Scar revision is intended to make a scar less noticeable and more consistent with the surrounding skin.
The recommended treatment depends on the scar’s type, severity, location and effect on the surrounding tissue. Options may include topical care, injectable treatments, surface treatments or surgical revision.
Although treatment may improve a scar’s appearance, it cannot remove every trace of the scar. Dr. Melendez evaluates the area and discusses which approach may offer the most appropriate improvement.
Scar Revision May Address:
-
Raised, depressed or irregular scars
-
Scars following surgery or injury
-
Differences in texture or pigmentation
-
Scars affecting flexibility or movement
-
Visible facial or body scars
AN INDIVIDUALIZED APPROACH
Scar Revision Treatment Options
Topical Treatments
Gels, tapes or compression treatments may be recommended for selected scars.
Injectable Treatments
Injectable treatment may help improve certain depressed or concave scars. Additional treatment may be needed over time.
Surface Treatments
Depending on the scar, options may include dermabrasion,cc light therapy, chemical peels or treatments intended to address pigmentation.
Surgical Revision
Surgical revision removes or repositions scar tissue and may use advanced closure when scars restrict movement.
