Most patients experience mild redness and swelling for 48–72 hours, with significant improvement within one week. Complete healing varies by procedure; superficial work may resolve in days while excisions can take two to four weeks. We provide a personalized timeline at consultation.

We use local anesthesia and topical numbing for comfort; many procedures feel like light pressure rather than pain. For anxious patients we discuss sedation options. You’ll receive detailed pre-procedure instructions to minimize discomfort and ensure a calm experience.

We treat benign moles, skin tags, superficial scars, small cysts, and other localized irregularities using excision, shave removal, or laser resurfacing. Each case receives an individualized plan focused on effectiveness, minimal scarring, and preserving natural facial contours.

You can often apply mineral makeup after 24–48 hours for very superficial treatments; for excisions or open wounds wait until incisions have crusted and healed, usually seven to fourteen days. Follow your surgeon’s specific timeline to avoid complications.

Many corrections are permanent (for example, mole excision and certain scar revisions) though some conditions may recur. Scars can be significantly improved but not erased completely. We discuss realistic expectations and schedule touch-ups or adjunctive therapies if needed.

All procedures carry some scarring risk, but we use meticulous techniques, fine sutures, and laser or topical therapies to minimize marks. Proper aftercare, sun protection, and follow-up visits further reduce risk. Individual scar-reduction strategies are reviewed during consultation.
