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.
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.
At Skin Sattva, we customize every punch excision procedure based on the size, location, and type of lesion. Our dermatologists are trained in advanced scar revision techniques, ensuring minimal scarring and natural skin blending. We also offer post-procedure follow-ups and complementary treatments to further refine results. Procedure Time: 15–30 minutes Mild soreness, stitches are removed in 5–7 days No long-term side effects, safe for all skin types
Anyone with deep, localized skin imperfections such as ice pick acne scars, small cysts, or moles that have not improved with creams or peels is an ideal candidate. Punch excision offers a permanent solution for scars that affect facial aesthetics and confidence.
