Skin cancer can be treated in different ways and depending on a patient's particular situation
Basal Cell Carcinoma: Most people who have this type of cancer get it because of prolonged sun or tanning bed exposure.
Squamous Cell Carcinoma:Once the skin has been exposed to the sun
or tanning beds for many years, it can develop this type of skin cancer.
Melanoma: This type of cancer can happen to anybody, and can be deadly even in young people.
There are several surgical and non-surgical ways of treating these lesions and we offer most of these techniques.
We provide a very nice Cometic result along with an excellent medical report.

Have you noticed a changing mole, a scaly patch, or a growing lump? All of these can
potentially be early signs of skin cancer. The good news is, most forms of skin cancer are curable, but the key is catching it and treating it early. The best way to do so is by regularly checking your skin for moles, patches,
and lumps, and reporting any changes or concerns to your dermatologist immediately.
