What Is a Cyst?
Cysts are small, closed sacs beneath the skin that may contain fluid, keratin, or other material. While most cysts are benign, they can:
- Become irritated or painful
- Grow larger over time
- Interfere with daily activities
- Cause cosmetic concerns
Removing the entire cyst capsule is the best way to prevent recurrence and restore smooth, clear skin.
Cyst Removal
Our cyst removal procedure is quick, safe, and performed comfortably in our office.
What to Expect:
- Consultation & Exam – Our providers evaluate the cyst and your medical history.
- Local Anesthesia – The treatment area is gently numbed, keeping you comfortable.
- Precise Removal – The cyst and its capsule are carefully excised to reduce recurrence.
- Closure & Care – Fine sutures and sterile dressings protect the site.
- Follow-up – Sutures are typically removed 7 to 10 days after the procedure, depending on the area.
Most procedures take less than an hour, and patients return to normal activities quickly.
