Surgical procedures
There are a variety of medical and cosmetic surgical procedures that dermatologists can perform. While some conditions can be effectively treated with medications and non-invasive techniques, other conditions may require surgery or more invasive treatment.
- Biopsies: Skin biopsies are done for the diagnosis of different skin conditions. They are of three types – shave biopsies, punch biopsies and excision biopsies.
- Chemical peels: This procedure involves the application of a chemical solution to peel off a layer of the skin. Lying underneath is a layer of regenerated smooth skin. Chemical peels can be used to treat certain types of acne and sun-damaged skin.
- Cosmetic injections: Your dermatologists will inject botulinum toxin therapy or fillers such as collagen and fat to temporarily reduce wrinkles, scarring and lost facial fullness. The injections have to be repeated periodically as the treatments last for only a few months.
- Cryotherapy: This treatment is commonly used to treat benign skin conditions like warts. Liquid nitrogen is used to freeze the skin lesions and destroy the affected skin cells.
- Dermabrasion: Your dermatologist will remove the top layer of skin using a high-speed rotating brush to surgically treat fine wrinkles, tattoos, eroding scar tissue and potentially precancerous skin patches
- Excision of lesions: Skin lesions are excised to prevent repeated infections, cosmetic reasons or to prevent a disease from spreading. Usually, a local or general anaesthetic is applied to numb the area before removing the lesion.
- Hair removal and restoration: The condition of hair loss can be treated with hair transplantation or surgery to the scalp. Hair epilation or electrolysis is carried out for the removal of unwanted body hair and destroy the hair follicles.
- Laser surgery: It involves using a special light beam for the treatment of tumours, warts, moles, tattoos, scars, birthmarks, unwanted hair and wrinkles.
