MOHS Surgery

Mohs surgery is a specialized, highly effective technique for removing skin cancers. It was developed in the 1930s by Dr. Frederick Mohs at the University of Wisconsin and is now practiced throughout the world. Mohs surgery differs from other skin cancer treatments in that it permits the immediate and complete microscopic examination of the removed cancer tissue so that all roots and extensions of the cancer can be eliminated and has the highest reported cure rate of all treatments for skin cancer.

Mohs micrographic surgery is a method of excising skin cancer in layers. The entire edge and undersurface of each layer is then examined under the microscope for the presence of cancer cells. Where further cancer is noted, additional layers are taken until a level free of tumor is reached. By removing tissue only where cancer is known to be present, the technique combines a high cure rate with good preservation of normal skin.

The extent and depth of the tumor determines the number of layers of surgery necessary to remove a skin cancer. There is no way to determine beforehand how many layers will be needed to remove the cancer or how large a defect will result when all the cancer is finally removed. Also, more than one surgical procedure may be necessary to remove large or very invasive tumors, cancer in difficult areas, or to obtain the best cosmetic result.

Laser Hair Removal (Gentlase Laser or Ruby Epi Touch Laser)

Laser hair removal replaces more traditional methods of hair removal and safely removes unwanted hair without damage to the skin. Facial and bikini areas are usually completed in less than ten minutes; legs, backs and larger areas can take slightly longer. A small hand piece is used to touch the skin and deliver the laser light simultaneously spraying a coolant just before each laser pulse. Most patients experience little discomfort at the treatment site because of the cooling device. The number of treatments required depends on your skin color, hair color and coarseness of the hair. Everyone will require at least 2-3 treatments as the process is only effective on hair during the early growing cycle.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peel is a procedure in which chemical agents are applied to skin that is wrinkled, scarred or otherwise damaged. After treatment scabs form which, upon falling off, leave smoother and younger looking skin. This procedure, although initially prescribed mainly for cosmetic purposes is also used therapeutically. Cosmetic indications for the use of chemical peel include wrinkles caused by aging, sun damage, hereditary factors, superficial acne scarring, and irregular pigmentation of the skin including freckles and age spots. Melasma, a dark pigmentation of the face found primarily in women who are pregnant or are taking birth control pills can also be improved. Precancerous conditions such as keratoses also respond well to treatment.
