Surgical Excision
What is Surgical Excision?
Surgical excision is a medical procedure that involves the removal of abnormal tissue, such as tumors, cysts, or skin lesions, through a precise surgical incision. This method is commonly used to treat various skin conditions, including skin cancer, by cutting away the affected area and a margin of healthy tissue to ensure complete removal. In the case of Beaufort Beauty Bar, we use surgical excision equipment to provide cosmetic services such as skin tag and lesion removal from visible or inconvenient locations to better your quality of life.
Why Choose Surgical Excision?
- Effective Treatment: Surgical excision is a highly effective method for removing abnormal tissues, ensuring that the affected area is thoroughly treated.

- Low Recurrence Rates: By removing the entire lesion along with a margin of healthy tissue, surgical excision minimizes the chances of recurrence.
- Aesthetic Outcomes: Our skilled surgeons prioritize aesthetic outcomes to minimize scarring and ensure a smooth recovery.
