Skin Lesions

At times, creams, lasers, and other skin therapies cannot remove certain undesirable skin lesions. For example, a “mole” is often a deeper structure that cannot be easily burned or lasered away. What you oftentimes see is just the tip of the iceberg so to speak.

Dr. Lam recommends evaluation of any suspicious skin lesion by a board-certified dermatologist. However, lesions that do not appear to have changed, grown, or bled can be removed as a short office procedure in which the entirety of the lesion is removed not just part of it. As a facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Lam is very mindful of how incisions heal well, i.e., in which direction to make the incision, gentle tissue handling, and proper skin closure, to attain the optimal results for you.
