Punch Excisions

What is it?

Typically used in biopsies, a punch excision is a minor surgical tool inserted to remove deep ice pick, rolling, and boxcar acne scars from the skin. These punch excisions match the size of the acne scar for precise removal of the affected area and help to leave the skin linear after healing in preparation for additional treatment. Post-treatment, these excisions are carefully sutured for optimal healing results. 

Why is it used?

This method is used to improve deep scarring and encourage new collagen production. With a direct excision, we can target and remove the entire scar. It is a very effective way to manage deep acne scars.

What does it help?

Punch excisions help remove deeper scarring and prepare the skin for additional treatment to manage acne scar appearances.
