Little lumps and bumps like moles and cysts can sometimes be aesthetically concerning, especially when they are located on prominent areas like the face. Likewise, previous surgeries or injuries may create displeasing scars which are redder, wider, thicker, or indented relative to your surrounding skin.
Microneedling, lasers, chemical peeling, fillers, and/or surgery may all be helpful treatment strategies. At the time of your consultation, Dr. Li will analyze your skin lesions and/or scars in detail and discuss a treatment plan to addresses your aesthetic concerns.
