Medical and Pediatric Dermatology

Subcision is also mentioned as a procedure included in this area.

Surgical Dermatology and Skin Cancer Treatment

Surgical dermatology focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of skin cancers, precancerous lesions, and other complex conditions. The team performs Mohs micrographic surgery, which the clinic describes as the most precise and effective treatment for certain cases of skin cancer, with the highest likelihood of cure. Excisions and reconstructive procedures are also offered.

The website details the three main types of skin cancer they treat: melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. For diagnosis, they perform full-body exams and biopsies when an abnormality is detected. In addition to surgery, they use superficial radiation therapy (SRT), a low-energy radiation that penetrates only a short distance beneath the skin and is presented as an effective, painless, and aesthetically appealing alternative to surgery for selected cancers and specific patient profiles.
