Mohs surgery is a gold standard treatment for certain types of skin cancer, including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and some melanomas. This advanced procedure involves removing cancerous tissue layer by layer while examining each layer under a microscope. This ensures complete removal of cancer cells while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible, making it particularly beneficial for cancers in sensitive or cosmetically important areas like the face, hands, and neck.

Mohs surgery is performed under local anesthesia and offers high success rates, often exceeding 98% for many types of skin cancer. Recovery is typically quick, with minimal scarring and excellent cosmetic results. If you’ve been diagnosed with skin cancer, consult with a dermatologist experienced in Mohs surgery to determine if it’s the best treatment for you.
