Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) Treatment in Venice, FL

What is Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) Treatment?

If you’ve noticed a spot or lesion that doesn’t seem to heal, now is the time to take action. Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer, often appearing as a persistent spot or growth that does not heal.

At REJUVA Dermatology, we offer advanced diagnostic tools and state-of-the-art treatments to address BCC effectively while preserving your skin’s health and appearance. Our goal is to remove the cancer with precision and restore confidence by ensuring results that look as natural as possible.

Who is the Best Candidate for This Treatment?

This treatment is best suited for patients who have been diagnosed with BCC, often presenting with lesions on sun-exposed areas such as the face, neck, or hands. Many of our patients seek care because they are concerned about both their health and maintaining a natural, refined appearance.

If you value personalized attention, advanced medical expertise, and results that prioritize both safety and aesthetics, you may be an ideal candidate.

What is the Downtime?

Downtime is typically minimal and depends on the treatment method chosen, whether surgical excision, Mohs surgery, or non-surgical options. Our specialists guide you every step of the way, with aftercare plans designed to help you heal quickly and comfortably.

How Long Do Results Last?

Once treated, the goal is complete removal of the carcinoma. However, because BCC can recur in other areas, ongoing skin checks are highly recommended. With expert care and regular monitoring at REJUVA Dermatology, you can expect lasting peace of mind and the best chance at long-term skin health.

Side Effects

Side effects are generally mild and may include temporary redness, swelling, or tenderness at the treatment area. Our specialists take every precaution to minimize these effects and ensure a smooth recovery.

When Can I Resume Normal Activities?

Most patients return to daily routines within a few days, depending on the treatment performed. We provide tailored aftercare instructions to help you resume your lifestyle confidently, while ensuring optimal healing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How serious is Basal Cell Carcinoma?

Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer. It grows slowly and very rarely spreads to other parts of the body. However, timely treatment is essential to prevent deeper tissue damage and to preserve both the health and appearance of your skin.

How is Basal Cell Carcinoma diagnosed?

Diagnosis begins with a thorough skin evaluation by our dermatology specialists. In most cases, a small biopsy is performed to confirm the diagnosis and guide the most appropriate treatment plan for your specific needs.

What treatment options are available for Basal Cell Carcinoma?

At REJUVA Dermatology, we offer a range of advanced and precise treatment options, including Mohs micrographic surgery, surgical excision, and non-surgical therapies. Each plan is customized based on the tumor’s size, depth, and location to achieve both medical and aesthetic excellence.

Is Mohs surgery necessary for all cases?

Not always. Mohs surgery is typically recommended for delicate or highly visible areas, such as the face, nose, ears, or eyelids, where tissue preservation is important. For other areas, traditional excision or topical treatments may be equally effective.

Will the Basal Cell Carcinoma treatment leave a scar?

Some treatments may leave a small, fine scar. However, our specialists use advanced techniques and meticulous closure methods to minimize scarring and encourage smooth, natural healing. We also offer post-treatment scar care solutions to enhance your results.

Can BCC return after treatment?

Yes, recurrence is possible, especially in previously sun-damaged areas. That’s why routine follow-ups and consistent sun protection are key. Our team will create a personalized skin monitoring plan to help detect any changes early and maintain lifelong skin health.

Does Basal Cell Carcinoma treatment hurt?

Most treatments may involve slight discomfort. Local anesthesia is used to ensure a comfortable experience, and any post-treatment tenderness is typically mild and temporary.

How long does the Basal Cell Carcinoma procedure take?

Treatment duration varies based on the type and extent of the carcinoma. Some minor procedures take less than an hour, while more detailed treatments like Mohs surgery may take longer to ensure complete precision and tissue preservation.

Do I need to change my lifestyle after Basal Cell Carcinoma treatment?

You can resume your usual activities quickly, but adopting good sun protection habits is essential for long-term skin health.

How often should I schedule skin checks?

Most patients benefit from yearly skin exams, though we advise more frequent visits based on your history.
