Excision

Excision is a minor surgical procedure used to remove unwanted or problematic skin growths such as warts, moles, cysts, or other lesions. During the procedure, a provider uses a sharp scalpel or razor to carefully excise the growth, ensuring complete removal and minimizing scarring. Excision is typically performed under local anesthesia and is a safe and effective method for treating both benign and suspicious skin lesions. At Revere Health, our specialists offer professional excision services to address a variety of skin concerns, helping patients achieve both aesthetic and medical goals.

When Is Excision Needed?
Excision may be recommended for:

Benign Skin Growths: Such as warts, skin tags, or non-cancerous moles that cause discomfort or cosmetic concerns.
Suspicious Lesions: Moles or growths that have changed in size, color, or shape and need to be tested for skin cancer.
Cysts or Lipomas: To prevent infection, irritation, or for cosmetic reasons.

What to Expect During the Procedure
Preparation: The area around the growth is cleaned and numbed with local anesthesia to minimize discomfort.
Excision: The provider uses a scalpel or razor to carefully remove the growth, along with a small margin of surrounding tissue if necessary.
Closure: Depending on the size of the excision, stitches or a bandage may be applied to aid healing.
Aftercare: Post-procedure care instructions are provided to prevent infection and promote proper healing.

Benefits of Excision
Complete Removal: Ensures that the growth is fully removed, reducing the risk of recurrence.
Diagnostic Capability: Removed tissue can be sent for pathology testing if needed.
Minimal Downtime: The procedure is quick, and most patients can resume normal activities the same day.
