Biopsy Procedures with Dr. Jennifer Baron, MD: Ensuring Your Skin’s Health

At the office of Dr. Jennifer Baron, MD, we prioritize early detection and accurate diagnosis of skin conditions, including skin cancer. Our comprehensive biopsy procedures—shave, punch, and excisional biopsies—are essential tools in evaluating suspicious skin lesions and ensuring your skin’s health.

Understanding Biopsy Procedures:

• Shave Biopsy: This technique involves removing a thin layer of skin using a small blade. It is typically used for lesions that are raised above the skin surface, such as moles or superficial skin cancers. Shave biopsies are quick and usually require minimal recovery time.

• Punch Biopsy: A punch biopsy involves using a circular tool to remove a small, cylindrical section of skin, including deeper layers. This method is ideal for diagnosing conditions that affect deeper skin layers and provides a full-thickness sample for analysis.

• Excisional Biopsy: In cases where a larger or deeper sample is needed, an excisional biopsy is performed. This involves removing the entire lesion along with a margin of surrounding healthy tissue. It is often used for larger lesions or when melanoma is suspected.

Procedure Overview:

• Comprehensive Evaluation: Dr. Baron begins with a detailed examination of your skin to identify any lesions that may require further investigation.
• Precision and Care: Each biopsy is performed with precision to ensure an adequate sample is obtained while minimizing discomfort and scarring.
• Pathological Analysis: The tissue sample is sent to a specialized laboratory for pathological analysis to determine the presence of cancerous or abnormal cells.
