Common Dermatology Procedures

Punch Biopsy:

A punch biopsy procedure is used to take a small, circular sample of skin for diagnosis. This is often done to investigate rashes, moles, or other skin changes.

Local anesthetic is injected to numb the area.
A tiny, tube-like blade is used to remove a skin sample.
The area may be closed with stitches or left to heal naturally, depending on size.

Shave Biopsy:

A shave biopsy is typically used to remove raised growths or to sample the top layers of a skin lesion.

After numbing the skin, a thin blade is used to shave off the surface of the lesion.
No stitches are usually needed.
The site heals with a flat scar or small mark.

Excisions:

An excision is a slightly larger procedure where the goal is to completely remove a lesion, mole, or suspicious spot, however the completion is determined by the histology results.

The skin is numbed with local anesthetic.
The entire lesion, along with a small margin of surrounding skin, is carefully removed.
Stitches are placed to close the site, and aftercare instructions will be provided.
