Moles, Lumps
& Bumps
Moles are clusters of pigment cells on the skin that are often brown or black.
moles, lumps & bumps
Most people have some type of skin mark, like freckles or moles, which can change over time when exposed to sunlight and UV rays. Most of these marks are benign, meaning non-cancerous, but there are some that could develop into skin cancer or melanoma.
mole removal
We offer mole removal for patients in New York City and across the country. Our treatments consist of a combination of techniques including surgery and laser therapy such as:
epidermal nevus
Epidermal nevus is a lesion that is usually present at birth. It can sometimes take a linear or swirled pattern on the skin. Epidermal nevi can be lightened by using the Q-switched Alexandrite Nd:YAG and ruby lasers. They can also be removed with CO2 laser. Several treatments are usually required to effectively treat this condition.
syringomas
Syringomas (often found around the eyes) can be improved dramatically with the Erbium and carbon dioxide lasers. While these laser treatments are not a cure for this condition, many patients are quite pleased with the results as significant improvement can be obtained. Typically, local anesthesia is required, and multiple treatment sessions are necessary to obtain the maximum benefit of this type of treatment.
Xanthelasma
Xanthelasma is a condition in which cholesterol deposits form around the upper and lower eyelids and look like flat, yellow plaques. These do not indicate that the patient has high cholesterol and is generally of a cosmetic concern. Erbium and carbon dioxide lasers can be used to improve these cholesterol deposits. Generally, 1-2 weeks of healing is required after each laser treatment, and multiple treatments are usually necessary.
venous lakes
Venous lakes are venous malformations that are enlarged blood vessels typically found on the lips. These lesions can be safely and effectively treated at our New York medical clinic using either the pulsed KTP laser or the pulsed dye laser.

Sagging Skin
The skin’s underlying structure degrades over time, leading to skin laxity and sagging skin. Collagen, the essential protein in our skin, begins to decline as early as our 20s, leaving skin without support from within. Restoring collagen helps to restore the skin’s youthful vitality.
Wrinkles
Wrinkles are a common and unwanted sign of aging. As you age, your body produces less collagen, creating saggy and wrinkly looking skin. Our customized strategies to combat wrinkles include laser resurfacing, dermal fillers, and wrinkle relaxers.
Brown age spots
Age spots and brown spots (also known as sunspots, liver spots, and lentigines) are a consequence of aging and sun exposure. The most effective treatment for eliminating these spots and other skin pigmentation is laser therapy, which usually includes little to no downtime after treatment.
