Skin Biopsy
Personalized Skin Diagnosis Backed by Medical Expertise
Why Choose a Biopsy?
A biopsy is indicated in several situations:
- To confirm the diagnosis of a suspicious pigmented lesion (e.g., an atypical mole)
- To analyze chronic skin lesions that do not heal
- To clarify the diagnosis of an inflammatory or infectious skin disease
- To remove a benign or malignant lesion and evaluate its nature
Biopsy is an essential tool to ensure a precise, safe, and effective medical approach for your skin health.
What Is a Skin Biopsy?
skin biopsy is an essential medical procedure in dermatology, allowing for a precise diagnosis of a skin abnormality. Performed in a clinic under local anesthesia, it involves removing a small fragment of skin to be analyzed in a laboratory. This exam is quick, minimally painful, and provides valuable information to help adapt the treatment plan for each patient’s situation.
Key points to know about a skin biopsy:
- It allows for the analysis of skin cells to confirm or rule out the presence of a pathology (benign, malignant, infectious, or inflammatory).
- Several techniques may be used: punch, shave, or complete excision, depending on the size and depth of the lesion.
- The sample is sent to a pathology laboratory, where it is studied by a specialist physician.
- The results guide the next steps of medical management and make it possible to offer targeted, effective treatment.
- The procedure usually takes just a few minutes and does not require hospitalization.
- A small scar may appear, but proper post-procedure care helps minimize this risk.
- A skin biopsy is a fundamental tool for better understanding lesions and ensuring high-quality medical follow-up.

How Does a Skin Biopsy Session Work?
Initial Consultation
During your first visit, our physician will evaluate the lesion and discuss whether a biopsy is appropriate.
Sampling
The area is locally anesthetized to ensure your comfort. Then, a small tissue fragment is removed using a punch tool, a scalpel, or a dermatological blade, depending on the type of lesion.
Laboratory Analysis
The sample is sent to a specialized pathology laboratory. Results are generally available within 1 to 2 weeks.
Results Follow-Up
Once results are received, the physician will contact you to explain the findings and, if necessary, plan an appropriate treatment.
