Additional Treatments

Additional treatments are available to enhance your experience and success of your surgery

1. Relaxing the muscles around your skin cancer

  • Scars heal best when the skin is allowed to rest
  • Botox before surgery will temporarily relax muscles and minimizes movement around scars in the face, which may reduce pain and improve healing
  • The cost of treatment is reasonable despite not being covered by insurance, as only a small amount of Botox is required
  • Request more information about this treatment when we are scheduling your surgery

2. Photodynamic light therapy around your skin cancer

  • Lifelong exposure to the sun causes skin cancer, as well as damage and pre-cancerous changes to the skin around your tumor
  • Photodynamic light therapy can be performed in all patients either during Mohs surgery or after healing is completed to reverse sun damage and pre-cancerous changes, and reduce the risk of new tumors
  • The cost of treatment is often partially reimbursed by insurance
  • Request more information about this treatment when we are scheduling your surgery
