- ChemotherapyMidwest Dermatology physicians treat melanoma with excisional surgery. Our dermatologists remove the cancerous tissue by surgically removing the cancer and surrounding tissue. The wound is closed with stitches. Advanced melanoma may also be treated with chemotherapy or radiation by other cancer specialists.
- Mohs SurgeryMohs surgery, a specialized surgical procedure that traces the edges of the cancer microscopically. Mohs is the preferred manner of removal for most squamous cell carcinomas because physicians are able to ensure the complete removal of all cancer cells to greatly reduce the chance for recurrence.
- BotoxDaxxify is the newest FDA-approved neuromodulator for the treatment of frown lines and wrinkles. Like other popular neurotoxin injectables such as Botox or Dysport, Daxxify is made from botulinum toxin. Neuromodulators work by blocking nerve signals to the facial muscles, resulting in decreased facial movements and smoother skin. What makes Daxxify different is a peptide that is added to the vehicle that prolongs the efficacy of the active molecule. Previously, results lasted 4 months, but Daxxify can last up to 6-9 months on average. That means fewer trips to the office for treatment!
