Dermatological Surgery
In our clinic, under local anesthesia and performed by an experienced dermatologist and general surgeon, the following minor surgical procedures are carried out on the face and body:
- Excision of nevi (moles)
- Excision of cysts
- Excision of malignant lesions
- Punch biopsy for histopathologic examination
The procedure is brief. The excision site is closed with sutures, which are removed at the appropriate time by our physicians. The excised lesion is sent to a pathologist for histopathological evaluation, and the report is communicated to the patient.
Electrosurgery / Diathermy (Electrocautery)
Removal of benign lesions using electrical current under local anesthesia. Indications include: viral warts, molluscum contagiosum, seborrheic keratoses, skin tags (acrochordons), and pyogenic granuloma.
The procedure is brief and essentially painless. After removal, a small crust forms at the treatment site; the patient is instructed on local care until it detaches (approximately 7 days). For this reason, it is not typically recommended during the summer months.
Cryosurgery / Cryotherapy (Cryofixation)
Cryotherapy (cryosurgery) uses cold—most commonly liquid nitrogen—to destroy pathological tissue and abnormal cells. It is used for various cutaneous lesions such as anogenital warts, common warts, precancerous lesions, and selected skin cancers when surgical excision is not feasible.
Mole Mapping / Digital Dermoscopic Imaging
Having more or fewer melanocytic nevi is common in the general population. Living in a Mediterranean climate with year-round sun exposure, together with the increasing incidence of melanoma, makes regular skin surveillance essential.
This is achieved through digital mole mapping.
In our clinic, using the CANFIELD VISIOMED D200 EVO dermatoscope, we can document nevi across the entire body quickly and easily in very high resolution, capturing even subtle morphologic features for longitudinal comparison.
