Learn more about who gets Mohs Surgery, the causes, common treatments and how long it takes to treat Mohs Surgery.
Mohs surgery is a procedure done to remove skin cancer. It's specifically designed to allow for the complete removal of cancer, including any invisible-from-the-surface offshoots or growths that may otherwise be missed, without disturbing the healthy tissue.
When you have a cancerous growth on your skin, the need to remove it and keep it from coming back is immediate. Mohs surgery is ideal for this. Its specific method of tracking and removing the entirety of your cancerous growth means you can have confidence that any and all cancerous parts are being removed.
In addition, since a highly-targeted method is used to determine what skin needs to be removed, you won't have to worry about unnecessary scarring or skin removal. Your wound will be as small as absolutely possible, making it easier to recover and go back to your everyday life.
Schedule your consultation with a skincare professional from Elias Dermatology today to get started. You can't afford to wait to confront and get rid of your skin cancer for good.
During your Mohs surgery, the area with your cancerous growth will be prepped, cleaned, and numbed. From this point, small amounts of tissue are taken at a time and examined. This allows the surgeon to ensure they are only continuing to remove skin if cancer is still appearing in the treatment area.
Once your surgeon has determined all the cancerous tissue has been removed, your wound will be treated according to how much skin was removed. At home you'll need to care for your wound, but once it has healed, you're good as new.
Mohs surgery is able to treat a wide variety of skin cancers on a wide variety of skin tones and types. To learn more about this procedure and see if it's the right fit for you, we offer free consultations with an expert member of the Elias Dermatology staff.
During your consultation, you'll have the opportunity to have your questions answered about the procedure and speak to a professional about your medical history. Together you'll create a treatment plan to make sure you're healthy as soon as possible.

Skilled, professional and compassionate. I was recently treated by Felicia with the CoolTone device by CoolSculpting. There was no wait when I arrived.
I was treated with concern and respect. My privacy was first in line. The wait was short which is another concern for me. The doctor and trainee were friendly and professional. They did what they had to do and I left.
