How does the treatment proceed?
Many procedures are performed under local anesthesia. Suspicious lesions are usually sent for histopathological examination on the recommendation of the dermatologist.
When an additional safety margin proves necessary, a second excision may follow. On important aesthetic areas of the face, excision can be guided during surgery with frozen sections.
If simple closure is not possible, we discuss reconstructive options in advance.
Assessment
The lesion is assessed clinically; for deeper structures, ultrasound is usually requested first.
Removal
The lesion is carefully removed with attention to aesthetics.
Examination and closure
Suspicious lesions are sent for histopathological examination; reconstruction is used if needed.
For skin lesion removal we choose an approach that fits your expectations, with precise technique and smooth recovery.
