About Lesion Removal

  • Plan around work, childcare, travel, and social events because healing timelines vary.
  • Bring prior procedure history and photos if they help explain your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it leave a scar?

Anytime skin is cut, a scar is possible. However, we use techniques to minimize scarring, often resulting in a barely visible mark once healed.

Is the procedure painful?

No. We use a local anesthetic to completely numb the area before removal. You may feel a small pinch from the numbing shot, but the removal itself is painless.

Can you check if a mole is cancerous?

Yes, if a lesion looks suspicious, we can send it to a lab for biopsy analysis to ensure your health and safety.
