What is Wound Closure?

Wound closure is a vital medical technique that brings the separated edges of a skin injury back together. Whether you have experienced an accidental cut or are recovering from a surgical excision, proper closure is essential.
At Kigali Dermatology Center, our medical team uses advanced techniques to repair the skin, significantly reducing the risk of infection and ensuring the most seamless aesthetic result possible as you heal.

How does Wound Closure work?

First, the affected area is thoroughly cleaned and sterilized to prevent infection. A local anesthetic is typically applied to keep you completely comfortable during the procedure. The dermatologist then selects the most appropriate method to safely seal the wound. This might involve traditional stitches, specialized skin adhesives, or medical tape.

The chosen method depends entirely on the size, depth, and location of the injury. Finally, we provide clear, easy-to-follow aftercare instructions to help your skin heal smoothly.

Need expert care for a wound or surgical site?

I visited late on a Saturday and while I was referred through someone to Dr Kayatesi, Dr Fatima was great. I was in within 30 min and she prescribed me quickly what I needed to be on my way. The front desk and nurse was also professional, the place was clean and easy to get.
