Lesion Excisions

Lesion excision is a minor surgical procedure that involves the careful removal of abnormal or unwanted skin growths such as moles, cysts, lipomas, keratoses, or suspicious lesions. The goal of excision is either to eliminate cosmetic concerns or to remove potentially harmful lesions, such as those that could be cancerous or pre-cancerous.

At Rejuvenation Dermatology, lesion excisions are performed with precision to ensure complete removal while minimizing trauma to the surrounding skin. The procedure is typically done under local anesthesia, making it quick, comfortable, and safe. The excised tissue is often sent to a pathology lab for analysis to confirm diagnosis and ensure complete removal.

After the lesion is removed, the skin is carefully closed with sutures to optimize healing and minimize scarring. Patients receive personalized aftercare instructions to support fast recovery. Lesion excision is an important part of maintaining healthy, clear skin and can also enhance cosmetic appearance by removing unwanted or bothersome growths.
