Skin biopsies
Skin biopsies involve the collection of a skin sample by one of various techniques. A skin biopsy is usually recommended to clarify a diagnosis that cannot be made with the naked eye or dermoscopy alone, or to confirm a diagnosis prior to further surgical treatment. The collected skin sample is then sent to the pathology lab for analysis under the microscope.
We perform all types of skin biopsies at our practice, including:
- Shave biopsy
- Punch biopsy
- Ellepticial biopsy
Skin Cancer
- Electrodessication and curettage
- Standard surgical excision
SURGICAL REMOVAL OF BENIGN GROWTHS

- Undesired moles
- Skin tags

Our team also offers the extraction of milia.
Skin Tag Removal
Skin tags are harmless growths that are commonly found around the skin folds (neck, armpits, groin area). They may develop due to genetic factors and increase with weight, hormones or age.
We offer various methods for skin tag removal including:
- Surgical excision
- Electrosurgery
- Cryosurgery
Keloid surgery
Keloids are abnormal scars that occur because of excessive scar tissue following surgery or trauma to the skin. They occur more commonly in individuals with darker complexions.
At Aura Dermatologie we offer surgical excision of small-to-medium sized keloids, followed by corticosteroid injections.
