Cosmetic Destruction

The goal of Dr. Alissa Lamoureux’s cosmetic destruction treatment is to provide the best cosmetic outcome possible in removing unwanted lesions.

What is Cosmetic Destruction?

Cosmetic destruction is the removal of one or more benign lesions. If you’re bothered by conditions such as enlarged oil glands, skin tags, and seborrheic keratosis, Dr. Lamoureux’s cosmetic destruction treatment can remove them in one session for most patients.

How are Lesions Removed?

Dr. Lamoureux performs cosmetic destruction treatments for a fixed fee per session. Each cosmetic destruction treatment is performed using a combination of topical and injected local anesthetic, so you will be awake during the treatment but will feel minimal discomfort. Dr. Lamoureux removes a wide variety of benign skin lesions.

Various modalities of cosmetic destruction may be used in one treatment to target the problem area. These modalities may include a scalpel, electrocautery (in which an electrical current is used to destroy, burn, or cut out skin cells), scissors, liquid nitrogen, and chemical peeling agents. Multiple treatments may be required depending on the number of lesions to be addressed.

Beautiful décor, state-of-the-art technology, phenomenal staff! Dr. Lamoureux took the time to understand my concerns and thoroughly explained all of the options and different services available that would benefit me. I can’t say enough about her professionalism and knowledge of the procedures and services. She’s up front, honest, and delivers exactly what she says she will. Her staff goes above and beyond to answer all questions and make everyone comfortable. I highly recommend!
