At Yamany Dermatology, Dr. Yamany offers in-office removal of these growths using safe, precise techniques that leave skin looking clearer and smoother.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is removal painful?

Procedures are quick and well-tolerated, often with just a small pinch or brief sting.

Will growths come back?

Treated lesions are permanently removed, but new ones may develop over time.

Is this covered by insurance?

Most skin tag, angioma, and milia removals are considered cosmetic. If a growth is suspicious, it may be treated as medical and sent for pathology.
