All surgery/procedures performed at Allura Skin & Laser Center are supported by the Society of Dermatologic Surgery and performed by Dr. Maltz or Dr. Chui in our expertly staffed private center. You will receive comprehensive written instructions to answer commonly asked questions prior to your surgery/procedure. Our staff will provide you with full assistance. The choice of general or local anesthesia is made in consultation with Dr. Maltz and Dr. Chui. The type of anesthesia used is determined by both the procedure and by your preference. Surgery requiring general anesthesia is performed at a AAAHC (American Association of Ambulatory Surgical Facilities, Inc.) facility nearby. Download our Patient Registration Form
