MOHS Surgery

Mohs surgery is the Gold Standard treatment for the complete removal of skin cancer.  It is named in honor of Frederic Mohs, the physician who developed the technique. Other methods require the surgeon to estimate how wide or deep the roots of skin cancer have grown.  Mohs Surgery differs by the use of complete microscopic examination of all tissues removed.  This allows the Mohs surgeon to remove only the skin cancer cells and leave the normal skin untouched.

What are the advantages of Mohs Surgery?

By using detailed mapping techniques and complete microscopic control, the Mohs surgeon can pinpoint areas involved with cancer that are otherwise invisible to the naked eye.  Therefore, even the smallest microscopic roots of cancer can be removed.  The result is: 1) the removal of as little healthy  skin as possible, 2) the highest possibility for curing the cancer.  Using Mohs Surgery, the percentage of cure is more than 99% for most skin cancers, even when other forms of treatment have failed.  Other methods of treatment offer only a 50% chance of success if previous treatments have failed. 

Ultraviolet Light Treatments for the treatment of Eczema, Psoriasis, and Dermatitis

We also offer several non-invasive methods in treating psoriasis, eczema, and dermatitis. NUVB- We offer the areas only free standing light box that treats eczema and dermatitis. PUVA- PUVA is useful for patients with various skin disorders, including psoriasis, dermatitis, polymorphic light eruption and mycosis fungoides. The number and the frequency of PUVA treatments will depend on the condition being treated and individual factors.

Psoriasis Laser Treatment

We are the first physicians in our area to utilize the XTRAC Excimer Laser to effectively treat mild to moderate plaque psoriasis lesions. The laser safely delivers UVB phototherapy to the targeted lesions, meaning healthy surrounding skin is not adversely exposed to UV light. The sessions are performed in our office and are simple, quick, and painless.

Photodynamic Therapy

We use Levulan Photodynamic Therapy system to treat mild to moderate sun damage on the face, scalp, and arms. Levulan PDT is an advanced 2-step treatment and is unique because it is the only one that uses light to destroy Actinic Keratosis, the first step before a skin cancer. Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) With Levulan is a treatment that combines light and a special light-activated topical photosensitizing agent called Levulan. Upon application to skin, Levulan is absorbed by actinic keratosis cells and converted into a substance making these cells highly sensitive to specific light. The skin is then exposed to a special light which destroys damaged skin cells. Photodynamic treatment removes sun damaged pre-cancerous zones and actinic keratoses. Skin texture, fine lines, pores, acne, oil glands, and blotchy pigmentation are also improved with the treatment.
