Skin cancer ranks first among the types of cancer in the US, making skin checks/skin screening and treatment a necessary test for those at risk. Most cancer cases are non-melanomas, which are treatable and usually not fatal. Another type is the rarer but more fatal melanoma. If you are worried, get skin checks/skin screening and treatment at one of our NYC locations.
Skin Checks and Screenings
What Are Skin Checks & Skin Screening Treatment?
Skin screenings involve looking for signs of skin cancer all over the body. It helps catch skin cancer early, giving you a higher chance of treating it using the right approach. You can do self-exams at home, but a professional skin screening is vital, especially if you find something suspicious during your self-screening.
Who is at Risk of Skin Cancer?
Regular skin checks/skin screening and treatment must be done for people with a higher risk of skin cancer. The following are common skin cancer risk factors:
-
A personal history of skin cancer
-
A family history of skin cancer
-
Fair skin, freckles, blue eyes, or red or blond hair
-
A weakened immune system
-
Several moles
-
A history of visiting tanning salons
-
Moles with a different shape or color from other moles
-
Severe sun damage
Should I Come in for a Skin Check or Skin Screening?
People at high risk of getting skin cancer should consult with a doctor. It is vital to seek professional help instead of relying solely on the results of your self-exam. We can thoroughly conduct an initial skin check/skin screening and evaluate the results.
If you notice unusual skin changes, new and uncomfortable growths, or wounds that take a long time to heal, we recommend scheduling a skin screening. You may also request a referral from your primary care doctor.
The Skin Check & Skin Screening
One of our experienced providers will examine the skin all over your body during a skin check. The screening will cover everything from head to toe—even the scalp and the skin between the toes and fingers. If you have specific spots you want us to check more closely, including ones where new moles have grown, tell us about them during your appointment.
During the screening, your provider will perform a visual evaluation of your skin and may use a device to examine the skin more closely. Your provider will closely examine all lesions, especially ones that have multiple colors or have experienced changes over time.
If there are unusual lesions, you might need a biopsy, where a skin sample will be tested for cancer. It only takes a few minutes to complete, and the wound will heal in a week or two. If the biopsy results show evidence of skin cancer, PFRANKMD offers effective skin cancer removal treatment.
The Cost of Skin Checks & Skin Screening Treatment
The typical cost of skin checks/skin screening and treatment varies. In some cases, insurance may cover aspects of the price of screening and treatment. This will discussed in greater depth during your consultation.

Rosacea isn’t one-size-fits-all.
This patient has papular rosacea, a subtype characterized by persistent redness and acne-like bumps. Successful treatment requires precision and personalization, often combining oral therapy, targeted topicals, and strategic laser treatments to calm inflammation and restore skin balance.
At PFRANKMD, we don’t chase symptoms. We design comprehensive, science-backed plans that treat the root cause.
If you’re struggling with rosacea, the right approach can transform your skin. Schedule a consultation to create a plan tailored to you.

Treat your post-surgery scars with a comprehensive, customized approach. In the before and after seen here, we addressed scarring following a breast lift to reduce pigment and improve texture for a more seamless finish. Scar correction can begin as early as four weeks post-op, and the sooner treatment begins, the better the outcome.
At PFRANKMD, we use a variety of advanced modalities including Miria, pigment-targeting lasers, and microneedling. Treatment is always customized based on your skin type, scar location, and healing progress. There is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to your skin.
The results shown here are after just one treatment. This patient will continue monthly sessions until the scar is fully resolved.

Post-inflammatory pigmentation can develop after trauma to the skin, including injuries such as this patient’s wound on her arm following a Citibike accident. One of the most important distinctions we make is the difference between permanent scarring and treatable pigmentation. While scars represent structural changes in the skin, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and staining are often highly responsive to early, strategic intervention.
At PFRANKMD, we take a comprehensive, multi-device approach to optimize healing and aesthetic outcomes. Combining advanced Pico laser technology with targeted topical therapies allows us to effectively break up excess pigment, stimulate healthy skin turnover, and minimize the risk of long-term discoloration.
Early treatment is key. Prompt intervention not only improves outcomes but also reduces downtime and helps prevent pigmentation from becoming more resistant over time. Addressing inflammation and discoloration in the initial stages of healing supports smoother recovery and more predictable results.

Miria is a non invasive treatment that reduces fine lines, softens wrinkles, improves crepey skin, and enhances overall texture with minimal downtime. The device delivers cone shaped heat deep into the dermis to stimulate collagen, tighten skin, and support long term maintenance for patients who want smoother, firmer, more youthful looking skin without the recovery of ablative lasers.
Watch the video to see how this technology penetrates deeply, creates controlled heat, and rejuvenates the skin while keeping recovery minimal and treatment tolerable.

The biggest mistake I see? Waiting too long.
Scars heal best when they’re treated early. Addressing a C-section scar in the initial healing phase helps reduce inflammation, prevent excess scar tissue, and minimize how visible the scar becomes long-term.
Here, I’m using pulsed dye laser therapy to target a C-section scar while it’s still red and inflamed. This treatment calms excess blood vessels in the scar, helping reduce redness and lower the risk of keloid or hypertrophic scar formation.
In most cases, treatment can begin six to eight weeks after delivery, once your OB/GYN gives clearance. In select cases, it may start as early as four weeks. Timing matters. A red, active scar is far more responsive to treatment than a scar that’s been left to mature unchecked.
As I say, “The sooner you clean up your room, the less dirty it gets over time, and the less work you have to do to remove it.”
Treatments are typically performed monthly until the scar is flat, calm, and barely noticeable.

Stretch marks and skin laxity often develop as a result of pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or the natural aging process. At PFRANKMD, we combine the Vbeam laser and Miria laser to effectively address both concerns.
Miria uses advanced non-ablative laser technology to heat the deeper layers of the skin, improving elasticity and firmness by stimulating new collagen and elastin production.
Vbeam targets redness and discoloration in stretch marks by reducing vascular inflammation and stimulating collagen remodeling for a more even skin tone.
Together, these treatments work synergistically to reduce the appearance of stretch marks and restore smoother, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin with minimal downtime.

When considering laser treatments for scars following various surgical procedures like facelifts, liposuction, and breast augmentation, it’s important to understand the timing for initiation. Patients can start laser treatments as early as 2 to 6 weeks post-surgery.
This timing is contingent upon several factors, including the complete closure of the surgical wound and the removal of stitches. Once these conditions are met, laser therapy can be beneficial in minimizing the appearance of scars and enhancing the overall healing process. Early intervention with laser treatments can promote skin regeneration and reduce the risk of abnormal scarring, leading to improved aesthetic outcomes. It’s essential to consult with a qualified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to tailor a post-operative care plan that includes the appropriate timing and type of laser treatment based on individual healing and skin types.
Schedule a consultation to determine if your scars can be improved with scar therapy treatments.

@dr.connieyang breaks down two of our most effective options for acne scarring. The CO2 laser is the gold standard for deeper collagen remodeling and more dramatic textural improvement, though it comes with a longer recovery. Miria is a novel non-ablative laser that offers controlled resurfacing with less aggressiveness and shorter downtime.
Both options can be transformative when used thoughtfully and in expert hands. At PFRANKMD, our goal is always to match the right device to the right patient for the safest, most effective pro-aging outcome.

Scars evolve over time, and so does the skin around them. This patient began with significant redness, tension, and stretch marks across the lower back and buttocks. Over the following months, you can see the scar soften, fade, and blend more naturally into the surrounding skin.
This transformation was achieved using our scar protocol, combining:
• Vbeam to reduce redness and vascularity
• Miria to improve texture, remodel the scar, and resurface surrounding stretch marks
With consistent aftercare, proper scar management, and more than 5 treatments, scars can soften, smooth, and transform beautifully. Healing is a process, and every stage of progress tells a story of strength and renewal.
