Squamous cell carcinoma is a potentially deadly form of cancer that does metastasis and can lead to death is untreated. Many routine treatments are available for precancers including cryotherapy, photodynamic therapy, and chemical peels.

Chemotherapy
There are many available methods to treat skin cancer including traditional surgical excisions, Mohs surgery, electrodessication and curettage, cryotherapy, radiation, or chemotherapy. For tumors in cosmetically sensitive or difficult areas (ie head, neck, hands/feet, shins, and genitals), large tumors, cancers previously attempted to be treated, those with aggressive histological features, or poorly defined tumors, Mohs surgery offers the highest rate of completely removing the cancer while sparing the surrounding healthy tissue.

Mohs Surgery
Mohs surgery was developed by Dr. Fredrick Mohs at the University of Wisconsin over 50 years ago. While the process used to take days, advances have allowed the process to be refined to allow for the procedure to be performed in a few hours.
Reconstructive Surgery
A Mohs surgeon is a specially trained dermatology who removes skin cancers and is also undergone specific training in the fields of pathology and reconstructive surgery. A fellowship is a rigorous and intensive training one undertakes after graduating from medical school and in addition to completing a full dermatology residency. Chosen though an extremely competitive review and selection process, fellows are trained in a large number of Mohs surgery cases and reconstructions under a very senior and experienced mentor. This is in addition to a number of scientific research projects they must complete on the field of Mohs surgery before graduating.

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are well established and safe methods for eliminating wrinkles around the eyes (crow’s feet), between the eyebrows, and across the forehead. They can also be used to treated a “gummy” smile. These simple injections can dramatically improve the appearance of wrinkles that move (dynamic wrinkles). Topical numbing medicine can be used to make the process virtually painless.
Laser Resurfacing
Microneedling is a minimally invasive technique gaining a lot of popularity with patients and in the scientific literature. It is able to obtain results previously only seen with large laser resurfacing procedures and at a fraction of the cost. Downtown is typical 1-2 days of facial redness. It has been found to improve wrinkles, minimize pore size, stimulate collagen production, and reduce the appearance of stretch marks.
Moles
Mole removal is very common and usually painless. If you or someone you know has a concerning mole, schedule an appointment today to have it evaluated and, if needed, removed.

Skin Cancer
Approximately 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer by the age of 70. More people are diagnosed with skin cancer each year than all of cancers combined. This form of cancer is highly treatable when detected early. Skin cancer does not discriminate. Anyone can get it, regardless of skin color. The likelihood of skin cancer increases with age. Skin cancer most commonly is found on areas of the body that are exposed to the sun.

This IPL Photofacial can repair damage on any part of the body, but the most popular treatment areas include the face, neck, chest or décolletage, arms, hands, and legs. It is especially effective at reducing the appearance of age spots, freckles, telangiectasia (spider veins,) redness and rosacea and other forms of sun damage or pigmentation irregularities.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels like trichloracetic acid (TCA) and Jessner’s peels contain medicinal acids and enzymes to exfoliate damaged skin and promote the growth of youthful, fresh skin. They can be helpful in removing sun damage, improving skin tone, and decreasing fine lines. Chemical peels have a long-established safety profile with downtime being slight redness that resolves after a day or two.

Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a common skin condition manifesting as scaly, thick, red skin. It can be itchy and uncomfortable in addition to a distressing appearance. Psoriasis is not contagious and it is highly treatable. Research is finding many other negative side effects associated with uncontrolled psoriasis. Untreated, the condition can lead to uncontrolled chronic inflammation and out of tune autoimmune condition further increasing the risk of other problems such as heart disease, metabolic abnormalities, arthritis, and depression.

Allergies
Allergic contact dermatitis is a hypersensitivity reaction from exposure to something one comes into contact with in their surroundings. Scientist have named these “delayed hypersensitivity reactions” because they typical flare 24-48 hours after exposure. Due to large amount of various dyes, fragrances, chemicals, soaps, metals, and other allergen we come into contact with, identification of a specific item can be difficult.
