Superficial Radiotherapy (SRT)
Superficial Radiotherapy, or SRT, is a painless non-surgical procedure that treats non-melanoma skin cancer. Using gentle radiation unlike that used in traditional radiation therapy, the SRT procedure penetrates only 5 mm into skin and is highly targeted. This means your healthy tissue stays healthy while cancerous cells are zapped away.
When treated with SRT, cancer cells can be painlessly treated without damaging the healthy surrounding cells. For most patients, this provides a scar-free, nerve damage-free, safe, effective alternative to traditional treatment. The best part? There's virtually no downtime, so you're free to return to your regular activities right after your procedure.
To learn more about how to rediscover healthy, cancer-free living without the harsh side effects of regular treatment, schedule a consultation with the Elias Dermatology team. We're here to make this process as simple and easy for you as possible.
During your SRT procedure, you'll be asked to remain still while the SRT machine applies a specific dose of radiation targeted specifically to your treatment areas. This is completely painless, though you may hear the machine working during the procedure. You'll be able to communicate with your Elias Dermatology professional the entire time you're receiving treatment, so you can be completely confident and comfortable while you're under our care.
Patients who have skin cancer other than melanoma are potential candidates for Superficial Radiotherapy. It's a great option for those who'd like to treat their skin cancer without undergoing harsh treatment that may leave lasting effects.

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.
