Will I need hospital admission?
No. Most dermatosurgical procedures at our Clinic are performed as outpatient procedures, allowing you to return home the same day.
Will there be a scar after surgery?
Every surgical procedure heals differently. we use meticulous techniques to minimise scarring and provides detailed aftercare instructions to support optimal healing.
