Q: What treatments do you offer for skin cancer? Which treatment is best?
A: There are many types of skin cancer, which all behave differently. For all patients, we discuss all of the treatment options available, including the risks and benefits of each so that patients can pick the option that is best for them. Options often include topical treatments, Mohs’ surgery, excision, radiation, or the option not to treat. Dr. Bader is double board-certified in Dermatology and in Mohs’ surgery with more than 28 years’ experience in treating skin cancer.
Q: Does Mohs’ Surgery leave a big scar?
A: Mohs’ surgery is a technique that removes cancer and removes the least amount of uninvolved, non-cancerous skin. After Mohs’ surgery, some wounds are left to heal without any reconstructive surgery; most are closed with plastic surgery. There are several factors that affect the final cosmetic outcome after Mohs’ surgery, including how large and deep the defect is, the location of the defect, smoking and alcohol use after surgery, and the skills of the surgeon.
Q: What can be done to look more youthful without major surgery?
A: Now there are more options than ever to keep you looking great! Skin can be tightened using lasers, radiofrequency, ultrasound, or threads. Fat can be reduced via injections, radiofrequency (heat) or by freezing fat cells. Daxxify, a long-lasting toxin that lasts up to 9 months, is available to paralyze facial muscles. Creams and intense pulsed light can reduce age spots. Fillers are used to reduce lines and add volume to the face and hands. Unwanted hair can be easily treated using lasers. Spider veins can be treated using sclerotherapy. We can regrow hair using safe medications that are effective and not costly.
