Punch Excision

What is Punch Excision?

Punch excision is a minor dermatological procedure used to remove small, deep skin lesions such as acne scars, moles, cysts, or other localized imperfections. It involves the use of a circular blade (punch tool) to excise the affected area with precision. The surrounding skin is then closed with a tiny suture, allowing for smooth healing. This technique is ideal for ice pick scars, small cysts, or persistent marks that do not respond to topical treatments.

How is it Treated?

At Skin Sattva, punch excision is performed under local anesthesia in a sterile clinical setup. The procedure is quick, safe, and involves minimal discomfort. Once the lesion is excised, the area is carefully sutured to ensure minimal scarring and natural-looking skin texture. After healing, the skin appears smoother, and in some cases, further cosmetic treatments like microneedling or laser resurfacing may be recommended for enhanced results.
