Suncoast Skin Solutions is the top provider of skin cancer screenings in Leesburg and one of the leading clinics for Mohs micrographic surgery. We are proud to provide cutting-edge skin cancer care for our patients, including this innovative surgical procedure. 

The Mohs micrographic surgery is a highly effective and precise technique for removing skin cancer, particularly basal and squamous cell carcinomas. It is named after Dr. Frederic Mohs, who developed the technique in the 1930s. The procedure involves removing layers of skin one at a time and examining them under a microscope until all cancer cells are gone. This method ensures that as little healthy tissue as possible is removed, resulting in smaller scars and a higher cure rate.

The procedure is typically done on an outpatient basis and is performed under local anesthesia. Our board-certified dermatologists will remove a thin layer of skin from the tumor site and examine it under a microscope. If cancer cells are still present, another layer is removed and examined. This process is repeated until no cancer cells are found.

The Mohs micrographic surgery is a highly effective and safe treatment option for skin cancer. It allows for the precise removal of cancer cells while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. It also has a high cure rate and low risk of recurrence, making it a preferred treatment option for many of our patients here at Suncoast Skin Solutions. 

Our team of dermatologists offer Mohs surgery at our Leesburg dermatology care clinic! We are dedicated to providing our patients with personalized care and attention. We take the time to listen to our patients’ concerns and answer any questions they may have about their treatment options. We are thrilled to have such great success rates with the Mohs procedure, with less than 1% of cancers recurring.
