When to Consider Skin Cancer Treatment
In the vast majority of cases, skin cancer is caused by overexposure to the sun’s UV rays. When your skin’s cells are exposed to too much of this type of energy, it can cause abnormal cellular growth, which is the basis for skin cancer. Your skin cells grow and divide at an unhealthy rate, and the problem can spread to other parts of the body, as well.
The good news is that skin cancer can be addressed very effectively if it’s caught early on and not allowed to progress. If left untreated, however, it can become quite a serious issue and may lead to further complications that can potentially even be life-threatening. At Elanic, we have a team of skilled surgeons who can assess your issue and develop a treatment plan that enables you to say goodbye to skin cancer for good.
Skin Cancer Treatment and Reconstruction
For most patients, treating skin cancer involves a two-pronged approach: First, the cancer must be carefully and precisely removed from the treatment area, before the area is then reconstructed.
Skin Cancer Excision
When skin cancer is brought to our attention early on, excision is a very simple and straightforward procedure that utilises a topical anaesthetic. Cancerous cells can be removed without impacting the deeper layers of your skin, so you won’t have to deal with any kind of extensive recovery period.
Reconstruction
Once the cancer has been removed, you will likely need reconstructive attention, to fully restore your appearance. When cancer removal leaves behind a divot or indentation in the treatment area, various methods can be used to rebuild the area, so you can enjoy your fullest sense of self-confidence.
