Surgical Dermatology
Lesion excision, cyst and lipoma removal, scar revision, and skin biopsies in Chapin, SC. Board-certified dermatologic surgeon who reads his own pathology.
Precision from the first incision
Surgical dermatology demands more than technical skill. It requires a clinician who understands exactly what is being removed and why. Dr. Hardy's dual training in dermatology and dermatopathology means he interprets what he surgically removes, closing the diagnostic loop that most practices leave open.
Every excision is planned with both oncologic adequacy and cosmetic outcome in mind. We don't separate the two. A well-placed, well-closed wound is as important as clear margins.
What we offer
Lesion excision
Surgical removal of skin growths, both benign (cysts, lipomas, nevi) and malignant, with margin assessment and optimal wound closure.

Cyst, lipoma, and benign growth removal
Complete excision of epidermal inclusion cysts, lipomas, and other benign neoplasms, minimizing recurrence and optimizing the cosmetic outcome.
