Florida State Rep Yvette Benarroch Recognizes Naples Dermatology for Advanced Skin Cancer Treatment
Bringing Innovation to Skin Cancer Treatment in Naples, FL
“It is exciting to see such innovative and patient-focused care available right here in our own District 81. Congratulations to Dr. Lugo and his team - I look forward to visiting soon and helping spread the word about this important new technology.”
At Naples Dermatology, we are committed to offering the most advanced dermatological treatments to our patients. We are proud to be the first dermatology practice in Naples and Collier County to introduce GentleCure Image-Guided Superficial Radiation Therapy (IG-SRT) - a non-surgical, painless treatment for nonmelanoma skin cancers such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.
This achievement has earned recognition from Florida State Representative Yvette Benarroch (District 81), who recently congratulated Dr. Lugo and Dr. Ross for bringing cutting-edge, patient-focused skin cancer treatment to Southwest Florida.
In a letter to Naples Dermatology, Rep. Benarroch praised the practice’s commitment to innovation and its efforts to provide more accessible, non-invasive treatment options for Florida residents.
She also highlighted the importance of skin cancer prevention, reminding Floridians that prolonged sun exposure increases the risk of UV-related skin damage and the development of skin cancers.
Her message reinforces the importance of regular dermatological check-ups, early detection, and advanced treatment options like GentleCure for patients who want an alternative to Mohs surgery.
