How Mohs Surgery Works

During Mohs surgery, your surgeon removes the visible cancer along with a thin layer of surrounding tissue. Each layer is examined under a microscope immediately, and the process is repeated only where cancer cells remain. This meticulous, methodical approach ensures complete removal of the cancer while sparing as much healthy tissue as possible — leading to better cosmetic and functional outcomes.

Frequently asked questions

What is MOHS surgery?

MOHS surgery is an effective treatment for skin cancer. This procedure involves carefully removing thin layers of skin, examining each layer for signs of cancer until none are found. The precision of MOHS surgery ensures the complete removal of skin cancer while preserving surrounding healthy skin. By minimizing the need for additional treatments or surgeries, MOHS surgery enhances the likelihood of a successful cure, providing comprehensive and targeted care for skin cancer patients

What is the difference between Mohs surgery and standard excision?

Mohs surgery examines tissue layer by layer during the procedure, achieving the highest cure rates while sparing healthy tissue — making it ideal for cancers on the face and other sensitive areas. Standard excision removes the cancer with a margin of surrounding tissue checked at a later date.

Stories of Transformation

"After going to 3 dermatologists in the area and not receiving a diagnosis, I decided to give Dr. Gupta a chance. Dr. Gupta took no time at all to diagnose my rare condition (bowenoid papulosis) - he felt the region with his hands repeatedly and gave me a thorough physical exam to ensure the right diagnosis was made. If you want a bright, young physician with old school values, Dr. Gupta is your man."

Dr. Gupta is unmatched. Botox and Filler is really an artistry and takes a particular eye for detail to decide what would look best for each individual's needs and Dr. Gupta has mastered the artistry! I recommend Skin Center of Florida for all your dermatology needs and especially Dr. Gupta for MOHS surgery and cosmetics."

Nikki

"Dr. Gupta is amazing! I took my 94-year-old mother-in-law for a growth she had on her face that had been treated by another dermatologist. Dr. Gupta removed the growth and the wound healed beautifully. I have seen him twice myself and I am really impressed. I feel very comfortable with Dr. Gupta and his assistant, Danielle. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Gupta."

Jeanne-Marie

"I've suffered with acne on my face, back, and chest since I was 12 years old and nothing ever worked to clear it up, and I have tried it all. His expertise of different types of acne and different treatments for each truly made all the difference. A year and a half ago when I first went to see him, I wouldn't leave the house without make up on to cover the acne. Now, I am makeup free most of the time! Dr. Kaminester has changed my life."
