GENERAL & MEDICAL DERMATOLOGY

Your health is our priority, and skin cancer is the most common cancer in the U.S. When detected early, it’s also one of the most treatable. We offer comprehensive skin cancer screenings as part of our general and medical dermatology services in Virginia Beach, VA, to help identify concerns early and provide effective treatment options. These exams include full-body checks for warning signs of skin cancer.

If we do find cancer, we use state-of-the-art techniques such as Mohs, slow Mohs surgery, and excision to remove cancerous lesions with precision and comfort. We also emphasize prevention and, in addition to regular skin cancer screenings and self-checks, we encourage sun protection and early action if anything changes in your skin. These preventive measures ensure early detection of potential issues with your skin and proactivity in treating them.

Cryosurgery is a minimally invasive procedure performed in the comfort of our office that uses extreme cold, typically from liquid nitrogen, to destroy abnormal or diseased tissue. The cold causes the cells to freeze and die, allowing them to be sloughed off or naturally eliminated by the body.

At Chang Dermatology and Skin Surgery Center, we do our best to choose treatment plans that are best suited for you and your skin. The highest rates of effectiveness and comfortability for patients are our goals. We may recommend cryosurgery to treat warts or actinic keratosis. Its cure rates are fairly high but may depend on certain factors such as the lesion’s type, size and location.
