Surgical Excision
A precise and aesthetic approach to correct or remove a skin lesion.
Indications for Surgical Excision
Surgical excision allows for the removal of a skin lesion for aesthetic, medical, or preventive reasons, such as:
- A suspicious or bothersome mole
- A cyst or benign lesion
- A pigmented lesion requiring analysis
- An unsightly scar or skin growth
What Is a Surgical Excision Treatment?
Surgical excision is a minor procedure performed under local anesthesia, which involves precisely and safely removing a skin lesion using a scalpel. This medical procedure is commonly recommended to remove moles, cysts, pigmented lesions, or other skin abnormalities, whether they are benign, bothersome, or potentially suspicious.
The treatment may be performed for:
- Aesthetic reasons: if the lesion is visible, bothersome, or unattractive
- Medical or preventive reasons: if a lesion changes, bleeds, evolves in appearance, or raises concerns
- Diagnostic purposes: the sample can be sent to a laboratory for analysis (biopsy)
The procedure generally lasts between 15 and 45 minutes, depending on the size and location of the lesion. Once removed, the skin is closed with very fine sutures to promote optimal healing. A home care protocol is then provided to support the healing process.
At Infinium, surgical excision is always preceded by a personalized medical consultation to thoroughly assess your skin, answer your questions, and recommend the approach best suited to your situation.

How Does a Surgical Excision Session Work?
Personalized Evaluation
At Infinium, we believe in taking the time to understand your unique skin concerns. Skin lesions can vary in type, size, location, and impact—whether they are benign or suspicious. While a consultation is not mandatory before minor skin surgery, it is highly recommended to evaluate the lesion, ensure it’s appropriate for removal, and determine the most suitable surgical approach.
Step 1: Preparing the Area
The skin surrounding the lesion is carefully cleansed and disinfected. The area is then marked, taking into account the natural lines and structure of the skin. This step ensures a precise and well-planned excision.
Step 2: Surgical Excision
The lesion is removed using a scalpel, either partially (shave excision) or completely (full-thickness excision), depending on its nature. The goal is to ensure clean margins, minimize trauma to surrounding tissues, and preserve as much healthy skin as possible.
Step 3: Aesthetic Suturing
The area is closed using fine sutures selected for optimal healing and minimal scarring. Tension-reducing techniques are applied to help achieve a discreet and functional result.
Step 4: Post-Treatment Care
Soothing and reparative skincare products are applied to the area. You will receive personalized instructions regarding cleansing, hydration, sun protection, and any precautions to follow at home for optimal healing.
Step 5: Follow-Up and Continuous Monitoring
Follow-up visits may be scheduled to monitor healing, remove sutures if necessary, and discuss any pathology results. If needed, additional care may be recommended for pigmentation, redness, or texture correction.
