When it comes to tackling skin cancer through Mohs surgery in Atlanta, Olansky Dermatology & Aesthetics stands out as your reliable choice. We specialize in applying the highly successful Mohs surgery method, ensuring a meticulous and thorough removal of skin cancer. Count on us for advanced care and personalized solutions that cater to your specific needs. Mohs micrographic surgery is a state-of-the-art surgical technique used to treat basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers. It has the highest success rate of all treatments for skin cancer, with five-year cure rates for new cancers exceeding 99%, and a 95% cure rate for recurring cancers. 

What Is Mohs Surgery?

Mohs micrographic surgery is an advanced surgical procedure that removes skin cancer effectively using only local anesthesia. Mohs is a very precise, highly detailed technique in which small layers of skin are sequentially removed and immediately examined under the microscope until the samples indicate that the skin cancer is completely gone. By removing only tissue where cancer is known to be present, the technique combines a very high cure rate with good preservation of normal skin. This, in turn, helps minimize scarring resulting from the procedure. The American College of Mohs Surgery provides additional details via their “What to Expect for Patients For Patients” online pamphlet.
