Scar revision
Dr. Chin performs this procedure himself. What it involves depends on the area being treated, so the specifics are settled at your consultation.
These are the everyday removals and repairs: a mole you want gone, a cyst that keeps coming back, a keloid or a scar that healed raised or wide. Almost all of them are done in an exam room with the area numbed, and most people are back to a normal day afterwards.
At the consultation Dr. Chin examines the area, explains what he would do and what the recovery involves, and answers your questions before anything is scheduled. To arrange one, send a request or call 510-451-6950.
