Moles

Moles and skintags are easily treated with the Ultrapulse CO2 laser. Dr. VanAntwerp views all lesions through an operating microscope that allows precise removal of unwanted tissue without damage to surrounding skin.

Suspicious lesions or those with a history of change are biopsied before removal. Laser treatment results in no stitches, faster healing, less chance of infection and usually a great cosmetic appearance.

To ensure your comfort, Dr. VanAntwerp numbs the area to be treated with Lidocaine. Most people feel nothing during the procedure. You may resume full activity immediately after treatment and usually a bandage is not even necessary.
