Minor Procedures

What can I Expect with Minor Procedures?

Minor procedures are typically quick, minimally invasive treatments that can be performed in the office. They are designed to treat common issues and improve your health without the need for surgery or extended recovery times. The procedures are generally well-tolerated, and we use local anesthesia to ensure your comfort during the treatment. Most procedures require little to no downtime, so you can resume your daily activities shortly after the treatment.

What Kinds of Conditions can be Treated?

Our minor procedures can address a variety of conditions, including:

  • Removal of benign skin growths, such as warts, moles, or skin tags
  • Drainage of abscesses or cysts
  • Treatment of ingrown nails or nail bed infections
  • Biopsy of suspicious skin lesions
  • Minor laceration repair and stitches
  • Treatment of common dermatologic concerns like acne or rosacea
  • Mole or skin tag removal for aesthetic or health reasons
  • Removal of foreign objects or splinters under the skin
