Laser Treatments & Lesion Removal

Seborrheic keratoses are common benign growths that appear as raised, waxy, brown or tan lesions. They are among the most common benign skin tumors and typically appear after age 30. While harmless, many patients choose removal for cosmetic reasons or if lesions become irritated.

Viral warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can appear anywhere on the body. Common types include common warts on hands, plantar warts on feet, and flat warts. Warts can be stubborn and resistant to conventional treatments.

Vascular skin lesions are among the most common reasons patients seek laser treatment. Cherry angiomas appear as small red dots, spider angiomas feature a central red spot with radiating vessels, and angiokeratomas combine dilated blood vessels with a thickened, dark surface. Angiokeratomas are particularly common and often concern patients due to their dark appearance, making professional evaluation and treatment highly sought after.

Benign nevi (moles) are common pigmented skin growths. While most moles are harmless, any mole that changes in size, shape, or color should be evaluated by a dermatologist. After thorough dermoscopic examination confirms a mole is benign, laser removal can provide excellent cosmetic results.

Xanthelasma are yellowish fatty deposits that appear on or around the eyelids. They are often associated with elevated cholesterol levels. While not medically dangerous, many patients seek removal for cosmetic reasons.
