What techniques are used for skin biopsies in Los Angeles?

The technique your Younique provider uses for your biopsy will be based on the presentation of the issue. The technique will be one of the following:

  • Incisional Biopsy. A cut is created and the provider removes a sample of the suspicious tissue.
  • Excisional Biopsy. A cut is created and the provider removes all of the suspicious tissue.
  • Punch Biopsy. A rotation cutting device is used to remove a small, round piece of tissue.
  • Shave biopsy. The skin issue and a thin layer of surrounding skin are removed using a scalpel.

Because your provider uses an anesthetic to numb the treatment area, all of these techniques are painless procedures.
