Laser Surgery of the Mouth, Face, and Jaws

The Washington Institute for Mouth, Face, and Jaw Surgery provides various forms of laser surgery to remove wrinkles, facial lesions, and oral lesions. The doctors have been leaders in their profession, having taught these techniques to hundreds of oral and maxillofacial surgeons and physicians.

Facial Lesions

The removal of facial lesions can include:

* Moles (Nevi)
* Seborrheic Keratoses
* Skin Tags
* Other Benign and Malignant Lesions, including removal of:
* Flat Pigmented (Sun Spots) Areas
* Telangiectasias (Blood Vessels)
* Solar Keratoses
* Basal Cell Carcinoma

Oral Lesions

Laser surgery in the removal of oral lesions offers many advantages, including no need for sutures (usually), a less invasive procedure, and less pain and bleeding. The types of lesions that respond well to laser surgery include:

* Aphthous Ulcers and Erosive Lichen Planus. Patients frequently become pain-free following exposure to the laser.
* Benign Lesions, including:
* Fibromas
* Papillomas
* Hemangiomas (Tumors That Contain Blood Vessels)
* Hypertrophic Frenums
* Premalignant Lesions, including Leukoplakia, which may be a precursor for cancer, or may actually be a malignant lesion. Removal of this tissue with the laser is the MOST IDEAL METHOD of treatment.
* Selected Malignant Tumors
