When detected early, certain types of skin cancer, such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma, can be treated through surgery. Our clinic performs skin cancer surgery to remove cancerous cells while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.
A Note From Dr Aleks
Holistic skin care blends aesthetic treatments with medical and surgical methods that can improve the health and appearance of the skin. At OLA Aesthetics in West Perth, we offer everything from whole-body skin checks to surgical excisions for benign and cancerous lesions. You can take advantage of our services for routine skin care, treatments for chronic and acute skin conditions and procedures for specialised needs. With each service, we will guide you through what to expect from treatment and recovery with an emphasis on continued skin care.
Types of Cancer Surgeries
One type of skin cancer surgery is excisional surgery, where the cancerous lesions and some healthy skin are carefully removed. Cryosurgery can be performed on some types of skin cancer, removing cancerous or precancerous tissue by freezing it with liquid nitrogen. More precise techniques, such as Mohs surgery, can be performed on sensitive areas. During this treatment, one layer of skin is removed at a time, and the remaining tissues are examined under a microscope until the cancerous tissue is completely removed.
What to Expect
After surgery, we provide care to aid in your recovery, offering instructions on proper wound healing and monitoring for any signs of recurrence. You may have sensitivity around the treated area for a time after the procedure. Healing time is different for everyone but is typically complete within two weeks. It may take longer for any scarring to fade.
