Laser Surgery at Sussex Family Practice  
CO2 laser surgery is available in our office for removal of warts, moles, skin cancers and cosmetic concerns.

Doctors and surgeons once used their skill with a sharp scalpel as a measure of their medical competence.  Today more and more physicians are using a laser in place of a scalpel.The advantages are numerous. Laser surgery is less invasive than the same procedure performed with a scalpel. Using a laser instead of a scalpel is also faster, more effective, and produces few side-effects. Using a laser also enables doctors to perform many procedures in their offices that once required a hospital stay.When this happens the patient has greater comfort, a shorter stay and a smaller bill than he would have if admitted to a hospital. At Sussex Family Practice, a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser is used to remove common skin lesions, skin cancers, fungal nails, warts and skin ulcers.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers, such as those used at Sussex Family Practice, have proven themselves the most efficient of all laser "scalpels." By varying the size of the laser beam and the power level the doctor can remove only the lesion, while leaving other cells intact. Because the target cells are so precisely destroyed, healing occurs more rapidly with a laser then with a traditional scalpel.

If you have been putting off treatment of skin lesions, fungal nails, warts or skin ulcers because you believed a hospital say is required, contact Sussex Family Practice for an appointment. It's quite likely you can bring the disorder here and leave it here!
