Mohs Surgery

Mohs surgery is a precise technique used to remove skin cancer. During the procedure, a dermatologist removes cancerous skin layer by layer, checking each layer under a microscope for cancer cells. This method ensures that all cancer is removed while preserving as much healthy skin as possible. The surgery is typically performed on-site, allowing for immediate results and minimizing the chance of recurrence. It’s particularly effective for cancers on the face, neck, and areas where cosmetic appearance is important. The entire process may take several hours, depending on the complexity of the cancer being treated.
