Developed by Dr. Frederic Mohs in the 1930’s, MOHS micrographic surgery is a highly developed, highly specialized procedure for the removal of skin cancer. Using microscopic examination and colored dyes, the surgeon can pinpoint the cancerous areas and selectively remove them, thus tracing the cancer to its “roots” and preserving as much normal tissue as possible. With a 97% to 99% success rate, an excellent chance of cure is achieved.

Although one cannot guarantee a 100% cure, because of this complete systematic microscopic control to search out and capture the cancerous cells, MOHS is the most effective and viable treatment for select skin cancers.
