Pigment, Scar & Benign Lesion Treatment

Expert Care for Common Skin Irregularities

While common, changes in your skin’s color, texture, or contour can cause significant apprehension. Scars, moles, and cysts may not pose a threat to your physical health, but they can affect your comfort and confidence. Addressing such irregularities is a valid and worthwhile aspect of holistic skin health.

An accurate diagnosis is an essential first step. From sun exposure to genetics, the causes of skin imperfections are varied, and different blemishes can appear strikingly similar. A board-certified dermatologist can expertly distinguish between a harmless sunspot and a concerning indication of melasma or vitiligo.

Treatment for Pigment, Scars & Benign Lesions

Once a diagnosis is confirmed, we tailor treatment to the condition and your personal goals. We may use topicals for pigment concerns, while specialized injections or laser therapies can address scars and benign growths. For cysts and lipomas, minor in-office procedures are often the most effective approach.

In every case, our goal is to restore the clarity and smoothness of your skin while prioritizing its long-term health.

Cosmetic treatments such as lasers, chemical peels, and microneedling may be recommended as additional therapies to help maintain results and improve the appearance of pigmentation, scars, and benign lesions over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of pigment conditions, scars, and benign lesions do you treat?

We manage a broad range of concerns, including pigmentary disorders such as melasma, vitiligo, sun spots, and dark spots (hyperpigmentation) left by acne or injury. Our experts also treat keloids (raised scars) and gently remove cysts, moles, and lipomas (benign fatty growths).

How do you determine whether a spot or growth is benign?

An evaluation begins with a review of your medical history and a discussion about your observations of the growth over time. Using dermatoscopy—a magnification tool—we examine the area. If any uncertainty remains, we typically perform a targeted biopsy to obtain a small tissue sample for laboratory analysis.

What is the difference between medical and cosmetic removal?

While both approaches prioritize minimizing scarring and preserving your skin’s natural appearance, their primary objectives differ. Cosmetic removal is performed on benign (harmless) lesions specifically to improve aesthetics. In contrast, medical removal focuses on your health; it is recommended for lesions that are suspicious, painful, or frequently irritated.

What treatment options are available for hyperpigmentation and melasma?

Pigment management typically requires a multi-tiered approach. For hyperpigmentation—such as sun spots, liver spots, and blemishes—we often utilize medical-grade antioxidants, chemical peels, and laser therapies.

Melasma requires a more nuanced approach. We commonly prescribe a combination of pigment-suppressing creams, gentle medical-grade peels, and strict sun protection to stabilize the skin.

Can scars or keloids be improved with treatment?

Yes. While most scars cannot be erased entirely, their appearance can be significantly improved. For thickened or raised scars—such as keloids—we often use corticosteroid injections to flatten the tissue and laser therapy to reduce redness and refine texture. Often, we also recommend silicone sheets or gels to soften the scar’s appearance, while surgical revision is reserved for more prominent or complex scarring.

What is recovery like after pigment or lesion treatment?

Recovery varies by procedure. Topical therapies and light peels may result in mild, temporary redness but typically involve little to no downtime. Laser treatment for pigmentation may cause a few days of tiny, dark flakes that will naturally shed as the skin heals. Surgical removal of a lesion often includes sutures that remain in place for 1 to 2 weeks. We provide detailed post-care instructions to support your healing and ensure optimal results.
