Care That Starts Before the Procedure
During the consultation, the provider reviews the concern, medical history, medications, allergies, and expected goals. The recommended approach depends on the examination and the characteristics of the lesion or condition.
Some findings may require referral, additional testing, or a different treatment setting.
- Focused assessment before any procedure
- Discussion of expected healing and follow-up
- Sterile office-based technique when appropriate
- Specimen submission for pathology when indicated
- Clear aftercare instructions and return precautions
What to expect
A Straightforward Office Visit
Will every procedure be performed during the first visit?
Not always. The provider first determines whether the procedure is appropriate and whether additional information or scheduling is needed.
Are these procedures appropriate for everyone?
Eligibility depends on the condition, location, medical history, medications, and examination findings.
Will a skin biopsy be sent to a laboratory?
When tissue examination is indicated, the specimen may be submitted to a pathology laboratory for evaluation.
Is follow-up included?
Follow-up is planned according to the procedure and the patient’s clinical needs.
