Advanced Skin Cancer Removal Techniques
Understanding Skin Cancer and Its Risks
Skin cancer is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers in America, impacting millions of new cases annually.
- Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC), often manifesting as pearly or waxy spots on skin surface, must be detected early by dermatologists to increase outcomes for treatment and achieve better outcomes for successful management.
- Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC), on the other hand, typically presents as red patches that fail to heal after several weeks and eventually progress into red and scaly sores that don’t heal within months, or stubborn sores which won’t close on healing;
- Melanoma being most aggressive form which arises from moles or irregular pigmented spots on surface skin surface surface and developed therein.
Early diagnosis and removal of skin cancer are critical steps in order to limit its spread and limit possible severe consequences.
Mohs Surgery: The Gold Standard for Skin Cancer Removal
Mohs surgery in St. Petersburg, FL, has proven one of the most successful approaches for skin cancer removal. This specialized, tissue-sparing procedure enables for accurate removal of cancerous cells while protecting as much healthy tissue as possible during operation.
How Does Mohs Surgery Work?
- The cancerous tissue is removed layer by layer.
- Each layer is examined under a microscope for remaining cancer cells.
- The process is repeated until no cancerous cells remain.
Why Choose Mohs Surgery?
- High cure rates (up to 99% for certain cancers).
- Minimized scarring for cosmetic-sensitive areas like the face, ears, and hands.
- Preservation of healthy tissue to ensure optimal healing.
Dr. Weston Wall’s extensive fellowship training in Mohs surgery guarantees expert precision and superior aesthetic results for our patients.
Traditional Excision for Skin Cancer Removal
Traditional surgical excision may be recommended to treat certain forms of skin cancer, and involves extracting both tumor and healthy surrounding skin along with its margin, then stitching or reconstructive techniques such as stitched reconstruction to promote proper healing and cosmetic results. Our team ensures every procedure is executed precisely, thus decreasing risk for recurrence.
Cryotherapy & Electrodessication for Pre-Cancerous Lesions
Wall Dermatology’s treatment strategy for actinic keratosis includes cryotherapy (using liquid nitrogen to freeze cells) and electrodessication (burning and scraping), both designed to target abnormal cells before they progress further into cancerous growth.
Comprehensive Skin Cancer Care
Skin Cancer Screenings & Early Detection
Annual skin checks are vital for early detection and prevention of skin cancer. Our dermatologists provide:
- Full-body skin exams to identify suspicious growths.
- Dermoscopy evaluations for an in-depth assessment of moles and lesions.
- Biopsy procedures to confirm skin cancer diagnoses.
Reconstructive & Cosmetic Dermatology Post-Cancer Removal
Skin cancer removal, especially on visible areas like the face, may leave scars. Dr. Wall specializes in reconstructive techniques, including:
- Skin grafting to restore natural appearance.
- Surgical wound closure for minimal scarring.
- Laser treatments for scar reduction and skin rejuvenation.

- Tumor size, type, and location.
- Patient health history and lifestyle.
