Mohs micrographic surgery is a complex, specialized technique for the treatment of difficult or recurrent skin cancers. This procedure differs from all other types of surgical procedure in that one person acts as surgeon and pathologist and 100% of the surgical margins are examined microscopically. As a result, according to the scientific literature, cure rates frequently are higher and healthy tissue surrounding the skin cancer is preserved.

Your skin is much more than just a protective covering – it is the largest organ in your body. Keeping your skin healthy is essential to your overall wellness. While some skin conditions can cause discomfort, irritation, or embarrassment, others can be potentially life-threatening. At The Center for Dermatology Care in Thousand Oaks, our dermatology professionals treat the full range of skin concerns for patients of all ages, so that you can have healthy skin for life.
