The skilled dermatology surgeons at Dermatology Consultants P.A. specialize in removal of skin cancer lesions and include surgeons trained to perform Mohs surgery.
With Mohs surgery, your surgeon removes and examines thin layers of skin until all the cancerous tissue is taken, leaving your healthy surrounding skin intact. It’s the preferred surgical technique for the treatment of skin cancer that affects the face because it causes minimal scarring.
