Skin Biopsy & Excision
A skin biopsy is a procedure to remove cells or skin samples for examination in a laboratory. An excisional biopsy is the removal of a skin lesion by completely cutting it out. Dr. Alexis performs biopsies and removals of suspicious moles and skin cancers as well as benign lesions such as skin tags. These procedures are performed under local anaesthetic and detailed aftercare and follow-up are provided. Histologic results are typically available within 1-2 weeks.
