Overview

What Is Mohs Surgery?

Mohs micrographic surgery is the gold standard for treating skin cancer, offering cure rates of up to 99%. This precise technique removes skin cancer layer by layer, examining each layer under a microscope in real time until only cancer-free tissue remains, preserving the maximum amount of healthy skin.

Who It's For

  • Patients diagnosed with basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma
  • Those with recurrent skin cancers
  • Individuals with skin cancer in cosmetically sensitive areas
  • Patients with aggressive or large skin cancers

Who It's Not For

  • Patients without a confirmed skin cancer diagnosis
  • Those with melanoma that requires different surgical approach
  • Individuals seeking routine mole removal

Process

What to Expect

1

Excision

The visible tumor is removed along with a thin layer of surrounding tissue, which is immediately examined under a microscope.

2

Analysis

The tissue is mapped, frozen, sectioned, and stained in our on-site lab while you wait. Any remaining cancer cells are precisely located.

3

Precision Removal

Additional tissue is removed only from areas where cancer cells remain, sparing healthy tissue and achieving clear margins.

4

Reconstruction

Once clear margins are confirmed, the surgical site is reconstructed for optimal cosmetic and functional results.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I get a skin cancer screening?
We recommend an annual full-body skin exam for most adults. If you have a personal or family history of skin cancer, fair skin, or significant sun exposure, we may recommend more frequent screenings.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes, we accept most major insurance plans for medical dermatology visits and procedures. Cosmetic treatments are typically not covered by insurance. Our team will verify your benefits before your appointment.
What should I expect during my first visit?
Your first visit includes a comprehensive skin evaluation, discussion of your concerns and goals, and a personalized treatment plan. Please bring a list of any medications and your insurance card.
How long do cosmetic treatment results last?
Results vary by treatment. Neurotoxins typically last 3-4 months, dermal fillers 6-18 months depending on the product, and laser treatments often provide long-lasting results after a series of sessions.
Is Mohs surgery painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you will not feel pain during surgery. Most patients report minimal discomfort afterward, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Can you treat acne scars?
Yes, we offer several effective treatments for acne scars including microneedling, laser resurfacing, chemical peels, and PRP therapy.
