There are a number of risk factors that can predispose you to the three most common skin cancers in the United States. The number of newly diagnosed basal cell cancer, squamous cell cancer, and melanoma skin cancer cases is steadily rising in the Western world. Adult men and women are becoming increasingly vigilant about using sunscreen to protect against damaging Ultraviolet light from sun exposure.
Kare Plastic Surgery + Skin Health Center in Santa Monica provides comprehensive skin cancer screenings and skin cancer biopsy treatments for patients worried about a new onset skin cancer growth. At Kare we can evaluate your skin to determine if there is a need for skin cancer biopsy.
The goal of skin cancer biopsy is to treat early, before disease can spread within the skin. Early-stage skin cancers are easily curable, whereas later-stage skin cancers may be more difficult to control with surgery alone.
If you have noticed a new onset mole that has changed in size or color and are concerned about your risk of skin cancer, our Los Angeles plastic surgery office can help you quickly attain a skin cancer screening and biopsy to determine whether there is any sign of skin cancer.
Please call our office to schedule an appointment with skin cancer specialist at (310) 998-5533.
