Dr Waseem Bakkour, on of our Consultant Dermatologists at Genesis, explains why Mohs micrographic surgery remains the gold standard for treating certain skin cancers.
Dr Waseem stands among the few accredited Mohs surgeons in Dubai who perform this highly specialised procedure.
Mohs surgery allows surgeons to remove cancer layer by layer while examining each layer under a microscope. This process continues until doctors find no remaining cancer cells.
This method offers the highest cure rates while preserving as much healthy skin as possible. Doctors often recommend Mohs surgery for skin cancers on delicate areas such as the face, nose, eyelids, lips, and ears.
