Removal & treatment

Local Anesthesia

Local anesthesia keeps you comfortable during many in-office removals. We confirm whether local anesthesia is appropriate based on size, depth, and location for patients across Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, Sarasota, and surrounding West-Central Florida.

Ideal for many small superficial lumps.
