Micrographic Surgery for Skin Cancer

Center for Dermatology is proud to offer Mohs Micrographic Surgery. 

About Mohs Surgery
Mohs surgery is considered the most effective technique for treating many basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) and squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs), the two most common types of skin cancer. The procedure is done in stages, including lab work, while the patient waits. This allows the removal of all cancerous cells for the highest cure rate while sparing healthy tissue and leaving the smallest possible scar.

Advantages of Mohs surgery include:

  • Ensuring complete cancer removal during surgery, virtually eliminating the chance of cancer growing back.
  • Minimizing the amount of healthy tissue lost.
  • Maximizing the functional and cosmetic outcome resulting from surgery.
  • Repairing the site of the cancer the same day the cancer is removed, in most cases.
  • Curing skin cancer when other methods have failed.
