A skin cancer diagnosis can be scary, but you’re not alone—and you’re in expert hands. At Regenerative Aesthetics and Dermatology in Laguna Hills, CA, we offer comprehensive skin cancer treatment with a patient-first approach that balances medical precision with compassionate care.
Whether you’re dealing with basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or melanoma, our board-certified dermatology team will walk you through every step—from diagnosis to treatment and beyond. We tailor your care plan to your cancer type, location, and goals, always prioritizing early intervention, cosmetic outcome, and most importantly, your peace of mind.
Topical treatments and superficial destruction methods, such as cryotherapy, are non-invasive options for addressing early-stage or superficial skin cancers. These treatments target abnormal cells on the skin’s surface, minimizing the need for surgical intervention.
Electrodesiccation and cryotherapy are minimally invasive treatments for early-stage skin cancers. They use heat or extreme cold to target and destroy abnormal cells on the skin’s surface, offering a quicker recovery with less need for surgery. These methods are ideal for smaller, less aggressive cancers.
Surgical excision involves removing cancerous tissue along with a small margin of a healthy skin to ensure complete removal. This method is effective for many types of skin cancer and can be used on various body parts.
Mohs surgery is an accurate technique that removes cancerous cells layer by layer while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. It is especially effective for cancers in sensitive or high-risk areas, such as the face or hands. Our provider will give a referral if Mohs surgery would be needed.
Depending on the type, size, and location of the lesion, we may recommend:
We’ll guide you to the most effective option with your safety, outcome, and comfort in mind.
Topicals like 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) or imiquimod are applied directly to the skin and are great for superficial basal or squamous cell carcinomas. They work by either destroying abnormal cells or stimulating your immune system to clear them. It’s non-invasive and can be done at home with oversight from our team.
This includes methods like cryotherapy (freezing) or ED&C (scraping and cauterizing the lesion). These are great for smaller, low-risk cancers in non-cosmetically sensitive areas. It’s quick, effective, and typically leaves minimal scarring—plus, you’re in and out the same day.
Surgical excision involves numbing the area, removing the cancer with a margin of healthy skin, and closing the site with sutures. Yes, it leaves a scar—but we use careful technique to minimize cosmetic impact, especially on visible areas like the face, neck, or hands. Most scars fade significantly over time—and we offer scar treatments if needed.
Mohs surgery is a precise, layer-by-layer technique for removing skin cancer with the highest cure rate and minimal tissue loss. It’s especially recommended for facial lesions, recurrent cancers, or those with aggressive features. While we don’t perform Mohs on-site, we work closely with trusted fellowship-trained Mohs surgeons and coordinate referrals seamlessly—so you’re always in good hands.
After your treatment, we’ll guide you through wound care, follow-up visits, and long-term skin monitoring to prevent recurrence. We’ll also help you build a sun protection strategy, recommend skincare that supports healing, and keep a close eye on your skin moving forward. Once a RAD patient, always a RAD patient.
Your skin, your health, your peace of mind—protected. If you’ve been diagnosed with skin cancer or need a second opinion, schedule a consultation at Regenerative Aesthetics and Dermatology in Laguna Hills, CA. Let’s create a personalized treatment plan that’s clear, effective, and designed just for you.
