Mohs Surgery

Mohs Micrographic Surgery is considered the most effective surgical treatment for skin cancer. This innovative procedure boasts the highest cure rate and results in the least noticeable scar when compared to other surgical treatments. During the surgery, a highly skilled Mohs Micrographic Surgeon removes the skin cancer layer by layer. Each layer is then frozen and examined under a microscope to determine if any cancer cells are still present or if the margins are clear. If cancer cells are detected, the surgeon can precisely identify their location and remove additional tissue only where necessary, preserving healthy skin. This meticulous approach ensures that the resulting defect from the cancer removal is as minimal as possible, resulting in the smallest scar compared to alternative surgical options.
