Skin Surgery Center

Laser surgery, cryosurgery, electrodesiccation and curettage, and intralesional injections are skin surgeries that treat skin problems that are not cosmetic in nature. Laser hair removal and tattoo removal often are used for cosmetic purposes. Some kinds of surgery (e.g., plastic surgery, skin grafting) may be either cosmetic or medically necessary.
