Dr. Amin Esfahani, MD, Board-Certified Dermatologist, and the team at Central Valley Skin Specialists provide comprehensive evaluation and personalized skin cancer removal treatments for patients throughout the Central Valley.
Treatment Options
Surgical Excision Surgical excision involves removing the visible skin cancer along with a margin of surrounding healthy tissue to ensure complete clearance of abnormal cells.
Mohs Micrographic Surgery Mohs surgery is a highly precise, layer-by-layer technique that allows for real-time microscopic examination, maximizing cure rates while preserving healthy tissue.
Electrodessication & Curettage (ED&C) This procedure removes superficial skin cancers by scraping away abnormal tissue followed by controlled electrical treatment to destroy remaining cancer cells.
Reconstruction & Wound Care After removal, reconstructive techniques may be used to optimize healing and cosmetic appearance, depending on the size and location of the treatment area.
Ongoing Monitoring Regular follow-up visits help ensure proper healing and allow early detection of any recurrence or new lesions.
