  • Mohs Surgery in Naples, FL

    Mohs Surgery

    Mohs surgery is the gold standard used to treat non-melanoma skin cancer. During the procedure, thin layers of cancer-containing skin are progressively removed and examined until only cancer-free tissue remains. This method is highly effective, especially for cancers in cosmetically sensitive areas such as the face, as it minimizes the removal of healthy tissue while ensuring complete cancer removal. Mohs surgery is most commonly used for basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.
