Skin Conditions

Many people suffer from an array of skin conditions every day. Depending on the symptoms you are facing, you may be experiencing significant discomfort. Regardless of whether your skin condition is noticeable, its onset can cause both physical and emotional distress. Both medical and cosmetic skin conditions can effect self-esteem and make it difficult for you to enjoy everyday life.

When you have begun to live your life according to your skin condition, rather than effectively managing your symptoms, then it’s time to seek treatment at Laserderm Dermatology & Cosmetic Laser Surgery. We offer solutions to a variety of skin conditions so that you can regain a comfortable quality of life and feel confident about your skin.

Scars

The majority of the scars we treat are either keloid scars or hypertrophic scars. A keloid is a raised scar that appears as a result of a deeper wound, like an injury or incision, and hypertrophic scars occur when collagen heals the skin in excess due to acne on the skin.
