<\/h4>\n

What Is Mohs Surgery?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Mohs Micrographic Surgery is the most advanced, precise, and effective treatment available for many types of <\/span>skin cancer<\/span><\/a>, including basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. This highly specialized technique removes cancer in carefully mapped layers, with each layer immediately examined under a microscope to ensure complete removal before reconstruction begins.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike traditional excision, Mohs surgery allows for real-time margin control. Only tissue containing cancer cells is removed, preserving as much healthy skin as possible. This tissue-sparing precision results in the highest cure rates available, up to 99% for certain non-melanoma skin cancers, while minimizing unnecessary removal of surrounding tissue.<\/span><\/p>\n

At Advanced Dermatology, our Mohs program is led by <\/span>Tushar Dabade, MD, FAAD<\/span><\/a>, who has a double board-certified dermatologist and fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon with\u00a0 advanced training in complex facial reconstruction. Following complete cancer clearance, reconstruction is performed with careful attention to cosmetic detail and functional preservation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mohs surgery is often the preferred treatment for skin cancers located on highly visible or functionally sensitive areas such as the face, nose, ears, lips, scalp, hands, and lower legs, where precision truly matters and optimal cosmetic outcomes are essential.<\/span><\/p>\n
