Shave Removal

Shave removal is a simple in office procedure our team uses to remove many types of skin growths such as lesions, moles and tumors. If you have a skin shave that is bothersome or seems suspicious to us we may recommend this form of removal as it is fast, painless and only takes a few days to recover.

How is the Shave Removal procedure performed?

We will start by injecting the area with a numbing medication to prevent any sort of discomfort. We will then cut the growth off using a razor, you may feel pushing at this point but no pain. After the growth has been removed we will apply a soothing ointment and cover the area with a sterile bandage. Any growths we decide to remove may be sent off for testing to be sure the area is not cancerous.

What should I expect during recovery?

Shave removal has a minimal recovery time, it may take a few days to a week to heal completely. We ask that the area be kept dry for 24hrs after the procedure and that you protect the area with SPF once it is healed.

Why should I get my growth shaved?
