Skin Lesions & Unwanted Growths

Understanding Common Skin Growths

Why Lesions Develop

Skin lesions such as warts, skin tags, and precancerous spots can develop due to sun exposure, viral infections, or natural aging. While many are benign, some may cause irritation or cosmetic concern. Monitoring changes in size, color, or texture is important to determine appropriate care and ensure safety.

Precise Removal Options

How We Treat Skin Lesions

Cryosurgery is commonly used to freeze and destroy abnormal tissue with controlled precision. This minimally invasive approach targets unwanted growths while preserving surrounding healthy skin. Treatment is typically quick and performed in-office, with little disruption to daily activities.

Safe and Efficient Care

What to Expect After Treatment

Following lesion removal, mild redness or blistering may occur as the treated tissue heals. The area typically resolves within days to weeks, depending on size and location. Most patients return to normal activities immediately, with minimal scarring when aftercare instructions are followed.

What Our Patients Say

Best med spa in the area by far. Dr. Howard is great, I’ve been seeing him for a year for Dysport and microneedling. 10 out of 10, all gold stars for this place.

Donna Thomas

I am so grateful to dr.Howard for his phenomenal support and caring, careful way of handling my problem with eyebrow muscular contracture that he helps me relax. I've asked him about other treatments, some of which I plan to return for, but he wouldn't offer anything that I didn't really need and always advised to go slow and come multiple times, if needed, rather than spending a lot of money at once, do a lot of things, and then regret and stress out about it later. Since I stopped being a pediatric patient 30 years ago, he is the 1st cosmetic doctor that I truly felt safe with, and who I think is genuinely there to help people.

I had a consultation to see about the very visible veins on my face. Aubrey was amazing!! She walked me through everything; procedure, timeline, and price. I decided to start the laser treatment that day. We also talked about skin care and personalizing it to my skin. I really enjoyed my visit and look forward to my next appointment. -and... I already see some results after 1 session!
