Mohs Micrographic Surgery in Eastern PA
Mohs Micrographic Surgery (MMS) is considered the best possible treatment for many basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) and squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs), which are the two most common types of skin cancer. Since the procedure is done in stages and incorporates the use of labwork, it carries the benefit of a high cure rate while also leaving the smallest possible scar. Our dermatologists are highly experienced in the Mohs surgical technique, and make it a point to ensure your comfort throughout the entire process.

What is Mohs Surgery?
Mohs Micrographic Surgery (MMS) is a highly effective surgical technique to treat skin cancer by removing skin one layer at a time. Mohs surgery is considered to be the most effective treatment for basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), although it can successfully treat other types of skin cancer as well.
Is Mohs Surgery Safe?
Yes! Mohs surgery is considered to be a very safe and very precise procedure. It is performed under local anesthesia while the patient is awake. The possible complications from Mohs surgery are no different from any other surgical procedure, and include reactions such as bleeding, infection and scarring at the surgical site. It should be noted however, that these complications are uncommon following Mohs surgery.
How Long Is The Recovery From Mohs Surgery?
Following Mohs surgery, it can take between four to six weeks for your wound to completely heal. Recovery time will vary depending on the size of the wound.
