About RMG Mohs Clinic

Mohs Micrographic surgery is a highly precise skin cancer treatment where the surgeon removes the tumor layer by layer. They check each layer under a microscope until all the cancer has been removed.  Think of skin cancer like a weed. On the surface of your skin, you only see the top of the skin cancer, but underneath, it can have hidden “roots” growing deeper or sideways. Traditional surgery cuts out a wide, deep circle around the tumor to guess where the “roots” end. 

 

Mohs surgery is different. It uses a real-time tracking map to pinpoint and remove the exact roots of the cancer. This allows the surgeon to cure the cancer completely while leaving your healthy tissue intact. Mohs surgery has a 99% cure rate for most common skin cancers and leaves the smallest scar possible. It is the gold standard for treating skin cancers in areas like the face, scalp, hands and feet where every millimeter of healthy skin matters.
