Facial skin cancer requires prompt and careful treatment to ensure both health and appearance are preserved. At Wall Dermatology, patients receive expert care using advanced techniques that focus on effectively removing cancer while minimizing scarring. Early detection and treatment are crucial, and our team prioritizes personalized care to achieve the best possible outcomes for each patient.
Surgical Excision for Precise Removal
Surgical excision is a widely used method for removing facial skin cancer. The procedure involves carefully cutting out the cancerous tissue along with a margin of healthy skin to ensure complete removal. At Wall Dermatology, our skilled dermatologists perform excisions with precision to preserve surrounding healthy tissue and maintain facial aesthetics, allowing patients to recover with minimal visible scarring.
Mohs Surgery for High-Risk Areas
Mohs micrographic surgery is particularly effective for facial skin cancers, especially those in sensitive or cosmetically important areas. This technique involves removing the cancer layer by layer and examining each layer under a microscope until no cancer cells remain. Wall Dermatology’s expertise in Mohs surgery ensures a high cure rate while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible, making it an ideal option for areas like the nose, eyes, and lips.
Non-Surgical Options for Superficial Skin Cancer
For certain types of superficial facial skin cancers, non-surgical treatments may be appropriate. Options such as topical medications, cryotherapy, or laser therapy can effectively treat early-stage cancers while minimizing downtime. Wall Dermatology evaluates each case carefully to determine whether these less invasive options are suitable, providing patients with flexible solutions that prioritize safety and comfort.
Recovery and Follow-Up Care
After facial skin cancer removal, proper care is essential for healing and preventing recurrence. Wall Dermatology provides detailed aftercare instructions and follow-up appointments to monitor recovery. Our team guides patients through wound care, scar management, and long-term skin monitoring, ensuring that both the health and appearance of the skin are maintained.

At Wall Dermatology, patient safety and effective outcomes are our top priorities. By combining advanced techniques, experienced dermatologists, and personalized care plans, we ensure facial skin cancer is treated efficiently and safely.
