Review your care plan and the next steps your Tia provider recommended for your skin procedure. No additional preparation is needed.
Your visit is usually about 30 minutes. Your provider will explain the procedure and answer your questions before starting. Depending on your skin concern, this may include a biopsy or cryotherapy.
Most procedures require little to no downtime. Your provider will share aftercare instructions and any follow-up recommendations. If you had a biopsy, your sample will be sent to the lab and your provider will share the results with you.
Yes. A Tia primary care provider must first evaluate your skin concern and recommend a procedure such as a biopsy or cryotherapy. To get started, you can book an Annual Skin Exam or Acne, Rash, or Skin Change visit for your initial evaluation.
Sometimes, especially for warts, multiple cryotherapy sessions may be needed. Your provider will let you know and will update your care plan accordingly.
Most patients find these procedures very tolerable. During a biopsy, you’ll get a quick pinch from the numbing medicine, then pressure as the sample is removed. With cryotherapy, you may feel brief stinging or burning and some soreness or blistering afterward, which usually resolves in a few days. Your provider will guide you through each step so you know what to expect.
No, you will be seeing a Tia primary care provider (a Nurse Practitioner, Physician's Assistant, or Doctor) who has received specialized training in dermatology. They are equipped to handle many skin concerns, including minor procedures. If your condition requires the care of a board-certified dermatologist, our team will provide a referral.
Whether it’s a mole, spot, or wart that needs a closer look, your Tia provider can evaluate and treat it right in-clinic. This visit may include a biopsy or cryotherapy to give you answers, relief, and a clear plan for your ongoing skin health.
