Clinical procedures,
one clinic
Every procedure below begins with a clinical assessment. Nothing is removed, grafted or treated without a clear diagnosis behind it.
Mole, Skin Tag & Cyst Removal
Surgical removal of moles, skin tags and cysts performed under local anaesthesia in a sterile clinical setting, with each lesion assessed for size, depth and clinical presentation before removal.
Ear Lobe Repair
Surgical repair of torn, stretched or split earlobes (whether from injury, heavy earrings or gauging) restoring a natural shape and structure.
Vitiligo Surgery & Skin Grafting
Surgical repigmentation techniques, including punch and skin grafting, for stable vitiligo patches that have not responded to medical or light-based therapy alone.
Phototherapy (NB-UVB, PUVA, Excimer)
Targeted light therapy (narrowband UVB, PUVA and excimer) used to manage vitiligo, psoriasis and other chronic skin conditions, with wavelength and exposure calibrated to the specific condition and skin type.
Cryotherapy & Electrocautery
In-clinic procedures using controlled freezing or electrical current to remove warts, skin tags and other benign surface lesions, chosen based on lesion type and location.
Microblading & Dermoscopy
Microblading for eyebrow definition using a fine hair-stroke technique, and dermoscopy for detailed clinical examination of moles and pigmented lesions to assess for concerning features.
Why Karur Trusts Dr. K. B. Kavitha
Minor surgery, treated with major-procedure discipline.
Clinical dermatology and minor surgery call for the same rigour as any hospital procedure. Here is how that is upheld at Skin Trust.
Doctor performs every procedure
Every excision, repair, graft and phototherapy session at this clinic is carried out by Dr. K. B. Kavitha personally, from initial assessment through to the procedure itself.
Sterile hospital-grade setup
Clinical dermatology and minor surgery at Skin Trust follow a structured, clinically guided approach, with appropriate assessment, sterile protocols and careful procedural planning.
Diagnosis before removal
Every mole, lesion or growth is clinically assessed - including dermoscopic examination where needed - before any removal is planned, so nothing is removed without a clear clinical reason.
Vitiligo assessed for stability first
Surgical repigmentation techniques are only considered for vitiligo that has been clinically confirmed as stable. Active or progressing vitiligo is managed medically and with phototherapy first.
Phototherapy calibrated by condition and skin type
NB-UVB, PUVA and excimer light therapy each suit different conditions. Dr. K. B. Kavitha selects the modality and dosing based on your specific diagnosis and skin type.
Standardised documentation and follow-up
Progress is documented and reviewed at each follow-up visit, particularly important for conditions like vitiligo that are tracked over months.
Full dermatosurgery spectrum available
From minor excisions and ear lobe repair through to vitiligo grafting and phototherapy, the complete dermatology and minor surgery pathway is available at this one clinic in Karur.
Careful technique for scar-prone skin
Closure technique and aftercare are planned to minimise visible scarring, with particular attention to skin types more prone to keloid or pigmented scarring.

Dermatology extends well beyond skin care into clinical diagnosis and minor surgery, and Dr. K. B. Kavitha treats this side of the practice with the same structured approach as any other treatment.
Every lesion, growth or vitiligo patch is assessed clinically before a plan is made, whether that means simple excision, a course of phototherapy, or surgical repigmentation for stable vitiligo that has not responded to other treatment. Procedures are performed in a sterile, hospital-standard setting, with attention to minimising visible scarring afterward.
All procedures at this clinic, from mole and cyst removal through to vitiligo grafting, are performed by Dr. K. B. Kavitha personally.

Common questions
Before you book
Removal is performed under local anaesthesia, so the area is numbed before the procedure. Most patients feel pressure rather than pain, with mild discomfort as the anaesthesia wears off afterward.
Any mole that has changed in size, shape, colour or border, or that bleeds, itches or feels different from your other moles, should be examined. Dr. K. B. Kavitha uses dermoscopy to assess concerning features before deciding whether removal is medically necessary or a personal preference.
No. Surgical repigmentation techniques such as punch and skin grafting are only suitable for vitiligo that has been clinically confirmed as stable, meaning it has not spread or changed for a defined period. Active or progressing vitiligo is managed with medical treatment and phototherapy first.
NB-UVB is a broader narrowband light therapy suited to larger areas and conditions like vitiligo and psoriasis. PUVA combines a light-sensitising medication with UVA light for more resistant cases. Excimer delivers targeted light to smaller, localised patches. Dr. K. B. Kavitha selects the modality based on your specific condition, area affected and skin type.
Some mark is expected with any surgical removal, but technique, closure and aftercare are all planned to minimise visible scarring. Healing varies by individual, particularly in skin types more prone to keloid or pigmented scarring, which is discussed at consultation.
The procedure itself is typically completed within the same visit under local anaesthesia. Initial healing takes around one to two weeks, with stitches, if used, reviewed during that period. Re-piercing, if desired, is usually possible once the area has fully healed.
Cryotherapy uses controlled freezing to remove warts, skin tags and certain other benign surface lesions. It is a quick in-clinic procedure suited to smaller, superficial growths.
Dermoscopy is used whenever a mole or pigmented lesion needs closer clinical examination, allowing Dr. K. B. Kavitha to assess features not visible to the naked eye before deciding on removal or ongoing monitoring.
