Mohs Micrographic Surgery

What Is Mohs Micrographic Surgery?

Mohs Micrographic Surgery is a safe and highly effective office based treatment for skin cancer that removes skin cancer while preserving unaffected surrounding tissue. It is the only skin cancer treatment available that targets only cancerous tissue through comprehensive real time microscopic examination of the affected area.

This procedure is most commonly used for the treatment of basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, the two most common types of skin cancers, but also for many other less common skin cancers.  It is ideal for treating cancer in cosmetically or functionally sensitive areas such as the nose, eyelids, lips, hairline, hands, feet and genitals, and for other areas and indications as well.

Mohs surgery is performed on an outpatient basis in your doctor’s office. At Advanced Dermcare, your Mohs surgery will only be performed by a highly experienced, Board-Certified and Amercian College of Mohs Surgery Fellowship-Trained Mohs surgeon.
