Mohs Surgery

Overview

MOHS micrographic surgery is a highly specialized technique for removing skin cancer. The surgeon removes thin layers of tissue, examining each one under a microscope during the procedure, until no cancer cells remain. This approach offers the highest cure rate while preserving maximum healthy tissue - particularly important for cancers on the face.
