Mohs Surgery

Mohs surgery, named after its inventor Dr. Frederic Mohs, is a highly precise and effective surgical technique primarily used to treat skin cancers, particularly those in areas where tissue preservation is crucial, like the face. During Mohs surgery, thin layers of cancerous tissue are successively removed and examined under a microscope until no cancer cells remain, minimizing damage to healthy surrounding tissue and maximizing the chances of complete cancer removal. This procedure offers high cure rates and minimal scarring, making it a preferred option for many skin cancer cases.
