Surgical Excision

Precise removal of skin lesions, moles, or skin cancer—with expert care and follow-up.

Surgical excision is a common, highly effective procedure used to remove skin cancers, atypical moles, cysts, and other growths. At Element Dermatology, every excision is performed with attention to detail and long-term skin health, ensuring both medical and cosmetic considerations are addressed.

During an excision, we carefully numb the area and remove the lesion along with a small margin of surrounding tissue. The tissue is then sent for lab analysis to confirm complete removal and provide a diagnosis if needed. Our board-certified dermatologist ensures clean margins while minimizing scarring, using advanced closure techniques suited to the location and size of the excision. You’ll receive clear aftercare instructions and follow-up to monitor healing and discuss next steps if necessary. Whether addressing a suspicious mole or confirmed skin cancer, you can trust us to provide skilled, compassionate care.
