Mohs Micrographic Surgery
The Most Precise Treatment for Skin Cancer
Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is the most precise surgical technique for removing skin cancer, with cure rates of up to 99% for primary tumors. Unlike standard excision, Mohs surgery examines 100% of the surgical margins in real time, ensuring complete tumor removal while preserving maximum healthy tissue.
Layer Removal
The surgeon removes the visible tumor along with a thin layer of surrounding tissue
Mapping & Examination
The tissue is mapped and examined under a microscope - 100% of the margins checked in real time
Targeted Repeat
If residual cancer is found, another layer is removed only from the specific spot
Complete Certainty
The process ends only when all margins are clear - results within hours, not days
