What is Mohs Surgery?
Mohs surgery is a specialized technique to treat nonmelanoma skin cancers, such as basal and squamous cell carcinoma.
The procedure involves the stepwise excision of cancerous tissue, paired with immediate microscopic analysis. This unique approach allows us to remove all cancerous cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy skin, which is crucial for optimal cosmetic results.
