Skin Growths

New York Laser & Skin Care

Skin growths can take many forms, including moles, cysts, warts, and benign tumors. While many are harmless, some may change over time or indicate an underlying condition. Regular evaluation ensures that any concerning growths are identified and managed appropriately.

Causes and Contributing Factors

Skin growths may develop due to genetics, aging, sun exposure, viral infections, or other dermatologic conditions. Changes in size, color, or texture can signal the need for professional assessment. Understanding the origin of a growth is essential for effective treatment.

Treatment Options

Dr. Kauvar offers expert evaluation and treatment of skin growths with precision and discretion. Depending on the type and location, removal may involve surgical excision, laser therapy, or cryotherapy. Patients benefit from safe, minimally invasive procedures that prioritize both health and aesthetic outcome.
