Trusted Anal Rejuvenation Procedures

A treatment may include cosmetic procedures for strengthening and tightening the anal sphincter. Anal rejuvenation can involve infrared coagulation, injections, or traditional surgical techniques. Using the most advanced and least invasive methods, Dr. Murrell — a leading proctologist in Long Beach — helps create healthier, more supple dermal tissues while improving functionality and blood circulation in the area.

For patients particularly concerned with the appearance of the anus, Dr. Murrell can perform anal bleaching. This procedure uses a bleaching solution to lighten pigmentation around the anus that has darkened due to aging, hormonal changes, pregnancy, or genetics.

Anal rejuvenation can alleviate pain and discomfort associated with many rectal conditions and helps create a healthier, more comfortable, and more aesthetic appearance. Dr. Murrell performs this procedure in the office or in our state-of-the-art surgery suite.

Patient Testimonials

I had to have a phone consultation with Dr. Murrell because I live in Canada, but he made me feel very reassured and was extremely kind and knowledgeable. Then when I actually went to LA for my appointment, he could not have been nicer. Completely kind, professional and extremely friendly. I am completely happy with his work and would definitely go back to him again with any other concerns. Great experience for a very nervous patient.

Dr. Murrell gave me my life back. He has top notch bedside manner and the upmost respect when dealing with such sensitive areas. He truly listens and has his patients well being in mind.

I first met the Doctor back in 2014-2015. First and foremost, he has the utmost excellent bedside manners where you feel at ease right away; let's face it, most of us are uncomfortable when we are headed to a colon specialist. He's honest and puts you at ease right away. His staff is fantastic; a gentleman who works for him in his current location became my therapist on a Monday morning call; sorry, staff, I apologize but again show you that they care. You can tell his workplace environment with his team is terrific, which trickles down to the staff being super caring.
