Surgical Dermatology
Dermatologic surgery encompasses the diagnosis and treatment of both medically necessary and cosmetic conditions affecting the skin, hair, nails, veins, mucous membranes, and surrounding tissues. These treatments may involve surgical, reconstructive, cosmetic, or non-surgical methods. The primary goal of dermatologic surgery is to restore or enhance the function and appearance of the skin.
ABOUT
Advances in research, clinical practices, and innovative surgical tools have made most dermatologic procedures minimally invasive, often requiring only local or regional anesthesia. This enhances patient safety and reduces recovery time. Continuous improvements in techniques and new developments further enhance the outcomes of established skin surgery procedures.
Dermatologic Surgery treatments
Common dermatologic surgery procedures include anti-aging treatments, soft tissue fillers, botulinum toxin injections, acne scar correction, chemical peels, tumescent liposuction, vein therapy, hair restoration, laser surgery, skin cancer treatments, and reconstructive flaps and grafts.
The American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS) is the largest specialty organization in the United States exclusively representing dermatologic surgeons who have unique training and experience to treat the health, function and beauty of skin throughout every stage of life. ASDS members are recognized as leaders in the field of cosmetic and medically necessary skin surgery.
