Dermatosurgery

Punch excision is a precise dermatological surgical procedure used to remove small skin lesions, cysts, or scars. It involves using a circular blade, or “punch,” to excise the targeted lesion along with a small margin of surrounding tissue. The procedure is minimally invasive, allows for clean removal, and is often followed by suturing or secondary healing, depending on the lesion size. Punch excision is highly effective for treating acne scars, moles, or small benign growths with minimal scarring.

How Punch Excision Works

• A circular punch tool removes the lesion along with a small tissue margin.
• Ensures complete and precise removal of targeted lesions.
• Minimally invasive with controlled depth of excision.
• Can be combined with suturing or left to heal naturally.

Benefits of Punch Excision

• Provides clean and precise removal of skin lesions.
• Minimizes scarring compared to traditional excision methods.
• Safe and effective for acne scars, moles, or cysts.
• Quick procedure with minimal downtime.

Procedure and Post-Care

• Local anesthesia is applied to ensure comfort during the procedure.
• The lesion is removed using a sterile punch tool.
• Post-procedure care includes keeping the area clean and monitoring for infection.
• Follow-up may be needed to remove stitches or assess healing progress.
