Most people have a mole or lesion on some part of their body. Dr. Alison Kang at Prestige Cosmetic Dermatology provides regular mole and skin lesion checks for patients throughout the Greater Yorba Linda, CA area. As a board-certified Dermatologist, Dr. Kang can determine the best treatment for each skin lesion including close monitoring, observation, or removal. There are a variety of benign growths on the body including brown spots, facial vessels, skin tags, lipomas, keratoses, milia, and moles. If appropriate, Dr. Kang can perform unwanted growth removal using a variety of removal methods, including laser, cryosurgery, electrosurgery, excision, and shaving. During your consultation, Dr. Kang will examine the lesions to decide which approach will most benefit you. If you have moles and feel unsure about the safety of one, or if one has become bothersome, it's important to see a professional.
What Can I Expect From Unwanted Growth Removal?
Most moles and lesions do not need treatment unless they become suspicious or cancerous, or if they cause discomfort, irritation, or cosmetic problems. In these situations, Dr. Kang may recommend removal. For surgical excision, the region around the mole will be numbed with a local anesthetic, and a scalpel or similar device is used to eliminate the mole and a bit of the surrounding skin cells. The wound will then be closed with stitches. Sometimes, when the mole or lesion is at the surface level, a surgical shave could be performed where the region is numbed and a small blade is used to cut around and beneath the target tissue. Stitches aren't required for this procedure. Dr. Kang may also recommend laser treatments, cryosurgery or electrosurgery to minimize symptoms or the appearance of lesions.
Unwanted Growth Removal Reviews
I went to Dr. Kang to remove a mole. I could have used my insurance but I didn't want to wait for a referral to go to a dermatologist so I decided to pay cash. It was worth it! Quick, too the point, didn't hurt, and just like that... nickel size mole on my head was gone. Even after the local anesthesia wore off, no pain at all. Highly recommended Dr. Kang. Her staff are super sweet as well
Dr Kang and her office staff are kind, professional, and efficient. Have had a small cherry angioma on my nose that has bothered me for a long time and she removed it with ease.
I came in to see Dr. Kang to get rid of a few skin tags on my face/near the eye area that developed over my 2 pregnancies. Dr. Kang was quick and efficient. It's been a few weeks and my skin has healed very nicely. Thank you Dr. Kang!
Excellent experience with Dr. Kang, she is both knowledable, skilled, and kind. Will be referring my friends and family to her.
This was my first time visiting a dermatologist, and I had three things that had been bothering me for quite some time. Unfortunately, my medical insurance considered them cosmetic, so they weren’t covered. I found Prestige Cosmetic Dermatology and Dr. Kang through a referral and decided to make an appointment.From the moment I arrived, the staff was very friendly, professional, and welcoming. During my consultation, Dr. Kang introduced herself, along with the nurse and assistant, and took the time to look at all three areas I was concerned about. She explained what could be done and made sure I understood the procedures and costs before we got started.The procedures were quick and painless. One area was a small cyst that Dr. Kang removed, and the other two were treated with a laser. She explained the aftercare and made sure I didn’t have any questions before I left.Overall, I was very impressed with Dr. Kang and her staff. Dr. Kang was professional, caring, and made sure I was comfortable before, during, and after the procedures. About a week later, everything was almost completely healed, just as she had explained.I’m so happy I finally had these things taken care of. It’s a great feeling to have something that had been on my mind for a long time finally done.Thank you, Dr. Kang, and the entire staff at Prestige Cosmetic Dermatology! You were wonderful, and I would definitely recommend others make an appointment for a consultation.
