Comprehensive Skin Cancer Care in New Jersey
Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States, but with early detection and expert treatment, it is also one of the most treatable. At Skin & Laser Center of NJ, our board-certified dermatologists specialize in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of all forms of skin cancer. Using advanced techniques and a personalized approach, we help patients throughout New Jersey protect their health and achieve the best possible outcomes.
Skin cancer develops when abnormal skin cells grow uncontrollably, often as a result of sun exposure or tanning bed use. While anyone can develop skin cancer, individuals with fair skin, a history of sunburns, or a family history of skin cancer are at greater risk. At Skin & Laser Center of NJ, we emphasize routine skin checks and patient education as key steps in catching skin cancer early. When detected in its initial stages, most skin cancers are highly curable with minimal scarring and excellent cosmetic results.
Actinic keratosis is a precancerous lesion caused by prolonged sun exposure, typically appearing as rough, scaly patches on the skin. While not always dangerous, these spots can develop into squamous cell carcinoma if left untreated. Our dermatologists offer safe, effective treatments for actinic keratosis, including cryotherapy, topical medications, and photodynamic therapy. By treating these lesions early, we help reduce your risk of developing skin cancer and keep your skin healthy.
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the second most common type of skin cancer, often appearing as red, scaly, or crusted lesions that may bleed or fail to heal. While SCC can spread if untreated, early diagnosis and treatment typically result in excellent outcomes. At Skin & Laser Center of NJ, we offer proven treatment options such as surgical excision and Mohs surgery to ensure complete removal while preserving surrounding healthy tissue.
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common form of skin cancer and usually develops in sun-exposed areas like the face, neck, or arms. Although it rarely spreads to other parts of the body, BCC can cause significant local damage if untreated. Our dermatologists provide precise, effective treatments for basal cell carcinoma, ranging from excision to Mohs surgery, with the goal of removing the cancer while minimizing scarring.
Melanoma is the most serious type of skin cancer, known for its ability to spread quickly if not caught early. It often appears as a new mole or a change in the shape, color, or size of an existing mole. Because early detection is critical, our team at Skin & Laser Center of NJ emphasizes routine skin exams and patient awareness of the “ABCDEs” of melanoma (Asymmetry, Border, Color, Diameter, and Evolving). If melanoma is diagnosed, we provide advanced treatment options designed to remove the cancer and protect your long-term health.
