How to Treat or Remove Skin Cancer
Dr. Brent’s main skin cancer removal procedure is a safe, effective, and minimally-invasive treatment option for patients with skin cancer. The procedure uses targeted laser energy to remove the cancerous cells, ensuring that healthy tissue is preserved in the surrounding area. Patients experience minimal discomfort during the treatment, resulting in faster healing times and fewer complications. However, we offer several modalities for treating skin cancer and work closely with each patient to match them with the right solution.
What Are the Results Like?
Dr. Brent’s skin cancer removal procedure produces consistent, effective results with minimal scarring or downtime for the patient. In most cases, patients experience complete resolution of their symptoms and see an improvement in the appearance of the affected area within a few weeks following their final treatment. For surgical methods, the cancerous growth is removed immediately, but patients may need to wait a few days to heal before they can fully enjoy their results.
Risk Factors for Skin Cancer
Normal Moles vs Melanoma
Not all moles are something to worry about, with most of them only having a cosmetic effect on a patient. In some cases, they may be the beginnings of melanoma. One of the key differences will be the color of the growth. Non-cancerous (benign) moles will typically be lighter in color and have a distinct visual aspect to them. However, darker moles are not always a sign of skin cancer, but we still recommend having a physician take a look at any moles that you think might be skin cancer.
