What is Stitch Removal?
Stitch removal involves carefully taking out non-dissolvable sutures after the wound has sufficiently healed. This simple in-clinic procedure helps prevent irritation, delayed healing, and scarring associated with leaving stitches in place for too long.
Our experienced team evaluates each wound before removal to confirm proper healing, and provides aftercare guidance so your skin continues to recover optimally after stitches are gone.
