What to Expect From Our Process

Treatment Plan

A custom treatment plan ensures accuracy and comfort throughout care. Our care team maps your treatment area using advanced imaging and measurements. We outline how many sessions you’ll need, often spaced over several weeks. You’ll receive step-by-step guidance so you know what will happen before, during, and after each visit.

During the Session

Each treatment session is simple and efficient, often lasting 10 to 15 minutes. You remain comfortable while a specialized device delivers radiation directly to the skin cancer site. The applicator rests gently on the skin, targeting only the affected area. There are no incisions, no anesthesia, and no hospital stay required.

Skin Response

You may notice mild redness, dryness, or a sunburn-like effect. These changes indicate that treatment is affecting the targeted cells. Our team provides clear instructions to help you care for your skin at home. Gentle products and simple routines support healing and comfort. Most reactions improve gradually after treatment ends.

After Treatment and Follow-Up Care

Our team schedules a brief check-in appointment a few weeks later. We examine the healed skin and confirm the therapy's success. You receive instructions for ongoing skin protection and daily care. We recommend high-quality sunscreens and gentle cleansers to keep your skin healthy. You enjoy the long-lasting results of a safe, effective, and non-invasive procedure. We remain available to answer any questions that arise later.
