Dr. Kundhal performs a variety of minor procedures that are often done with local anaesthetic which involves injecting the overlying skin with local anaesthetic. Many of these procedures are not covered by OHIP if they are done for cosmetic reasons. Dr. Kundhal will have a discussion with you regarding this at time of your consultation.
Dr. Kundhal will clean the overlying skin with a disinfectant. Next the overlying skin will be frozen with an injection of local anaesthetic. This will ensure you are comfortable during the procedure. After the procedure is complete a dressing will be applied and instructions will be given to you on when to remove your dressing. Please see POST OPERATIVE INSTRUCTION SHEET.
