This process can be done quickly and painlessly in one of our 8 offices. The lesion to be removed is marked and local anesthesia is applied. Once we have ensured there will be no pain, the spot is excised. A few stitches are applied and left in place for about a week. The area heals over the following month and a small fine line remains.
