Cryosurgery

We are excited to offer cryosurgery to our practice.  Simply, it is applying local extreme cold to destroy a host of common skin conditions.

If any lesion(s) are black, have irregular borders, bleeding, blistering, stinging, itching, or crusting up and peeling, you will need to see a dermatologist for diagnosis before a treatment can be performed.
