Facing a skin cancer diagnosis can bring about a wave of emotions and questions. When it comes to treatment, you want the most effective approach that prioritizes both complete removal and the preservation of healthy tissue. That's where Mohs Micrographic Surgery, offered with expertise at Vita Skin in Orem, UT, stands out as a smart and reassuring choice.

Understanding the Mohs Difference: Precision in Action

Unlike traditional skin cancer removal methods that examine only a small percentage of the removed tissue, Mohs surgery offers a meticulous, layer-by-layer approach. Here's why this precision matters:

• Complete Margin Control: During the procedure, thin layers of skin are removed and immediately examined under a microscope until no cancer cells are detected. This ensures that the entire tumor, including any extensions invisible to the naked eye, is removed.
• Highest Cure Rates: This precise method leads to the highest cure rates for many common types of skin cancer, significantly reducing the risk of recurrence.
• Maximized Healthy Tissue Preservation: Because the surgeon can see exactly where the cancer cells are, only the cancerous tissue is removed, sparing as much healthy skin as possible. This is particularly important for cosmetically sensitive areas like the face, neck, hands, and feet.
