Other Procedures
There are many other cosmetic procedures that dermatologists perform that are cosmetic and more effective than lasers.
Cryotherapy is classically used to treat actinic keratosis. It can be used effectively for cosmetic reasons with much better pricing than lasers. Lesions commonly treated are seborrheic keratosis (the crusty brown lesions) and lentigenes (sun spots).
Skin tags can be bothersome and cosmetically displeasing. It is a simple procedure and practically painless taking only a few minutes.
Dr. Kuykendall can help get rid of cherry angiomas and sebaceous hyperplasia effectively with electrocautery. This is as effective as laser when in the right hands and patients tend to love the results.
