Cuts and lacerations need expert closure fast — for better healing and less scarring. Our Beaumont ER provides stitches, wound repair, and tetanus updates 24/7 for adults and children, with gentle numbing and careful cosmetic technique.
Not every cut needs stitches — but the ones that do heal dramatically better when closed promptly and properly. Wounds are ideally repaired within hours of the injury, before bacteria multiply and edges begin to heal apart.
Our emergency physicians repair lacerations of all kinds: kitchen and work injuries, facial cuts (with careful cosmetic technique), children’s cuts (with gentle numbing and a calm approach), and deeper wounds involving careful exploration and layered closure.
Every wound repair includes thorough cleaning, numbing, closure with the right method — sutures, skin adhesive, or staples — tetanus vaccination review, and clear aftercare instructions.

Come in promptly — ideally within a few hours of injury — if a wound:
Expert closure, comfortable experience, better healing:
Careful, precise closure — especially for facial wounds — to minimize scarring.
Gentle numbing, patience, and a calm approach for our youngest patients.
Vaccination review and tetanus boosters on-site when your wound calls for it.
Wounds close best when treated early — walk in 24/7, little to no wait.
Quick answers to what patients ask us most.
If it’s deep, gaping, longer than about half an inch, on the face or over a joint, or won’t stop bleeding with 10–15 minutes of firm pressure — have it evaluated. When in doubt, come in; a wound that needed stitches but didn’t get them heals slower and scars more.
Ideally within a few hours. Most wounds can be safely closed within about 12–18 hours (sometimes longer for facial wounds) — but earlier closure means lower infection risk and better healing.
The area is numbed first with local anesthetic — you’ll feel a brief sting from the numbing, then pressure but no pain during the repair.
We choose the best method for each wound — traditional sutures, dissolvable stitches, medical skin adhesive, or staples — based on location, depth, and cosmetic needs.
If your last tetanus booster was more than 5–10 years ago (depending on the wound type), yes — and we can update it on-site during the same visit.
