I am only familiar with newborn circumcision in medical setting. I know that some religious person as well as surgeons who perform circumcision in older boys/men.

In newborns, there are 3 main ways to do it. The Plastibell, Gomco, and Mogen's clamp. They are really 3 different way to removes the foreskin after it's loosen up first. The initial steps are basically the same for all 3 methods. Anesthesia then open the foreskin opening and separate it from the glan penis. This can be done with a blunt instrument without any cut. Then the top of the forskin is then cut about half way so the glan penis can be complete exposed and fully detached from the rest of foreskin. Now, each methods has a different way to remove the foreskin, but the end result is basically the same.
