Non-Surgical Option: Ideal for patients who are poor surgical candidates (due to age, comorbidities, or anticoagulation therapy), or those who prefer to avoid surgery.
Cosmetic Outcomes: Offers excellent cosmetic results, often leaving minimal to no scarring compared to surgical excision or Mohs surgery.
Pain-Free and Non-Invasive: The procedure is painless and does not require anesthesia, incisions, or stitches.
High Cure Rates: Studies show cure rates comparable to surgery for certain types of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).
Outpatient Convenience: Treatment is delivered over several short sessions and does not require hospitalization.
Real-Time Monitoring: Imaging allows for real-time visualization and monitoring of treatment response and adjustments as needed.
