When it comes to effective and precise skin cancer treatment, Mohs Surgery NZ is recognized as the gold standard. At Dermatology HB, we specialize in Mohs micrographic surgery, providing patients with meticulous care, minimal tissue removal, and optimal cosmetic results. Our expert dermatologists are committed to delivering the highest quality care for skin cancer management across New Zealand.
What is Mohs Micrographic Surgery?
Mohs micrographic surgery is a highly specialized procedure designed to remove skin cancers layer by layer while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. Unlike traditional excision techniques, Mohs surgery allows for complete microscopic examination of cancerous tissue during the procedure. This ensures that every cancer cell is removed while minimizing unnecessary tissue loss.
Patients seeking Mohs Surgery NZ benefit from this precise technique, which has the highest cure rate for common skin cancers, including basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.
Why Choose Mohs Surgery?
There are several reasons why Mohs Micrographic Surgery is considered superior for skin cancer treatment:
Highest Cure Rate: Mohs surgery offers up to a 99% success rate for certain skin cancers.
Tissue Preservation: Only affected tissue is removed, ensuring better cosmetic outcomes.
Immediate Results: During surgery, tissue is examined in real-time, allowing the surgeon to remove remaining cancer immediately.
Reduced Recurrence: Because every layer is examined, the risk of cancer recurrence is significantly lowered.
At Dermatology HB, our trained specialists utilize the latest Mohs techniques to ensure patients receive precise and effective treatment.
Who Can Benefit From Mohs Surgery?
Mohs Surgery NZ is suitable for patients with:
Skin cancers on sensitive or cosmetically important areas (face, neck, hands)
Recurrent skin cancers after previous treatment
Large or aggressive skin cancers
By choosing Mohs micrographic surgery, patients not only receive effective cancer removal but also maintain the natural appearance and function of the treated area.
