CASE STUDIES - LASER/RF SKIN CANCER THERAPY

CASE STUDY 1

This is a case of biopsy proven BCC of the right face.

Skin Cancer surgery in this area will cause a large scar and possibly create a cosmetically unsatisfactory outcome.

This patient chose Laser/RF Skin Cancer Therapy because:

• Non surgical
• Simple and easy procedure lasting 10 minutes compared to surgery
• No downtime - did not want to stop working
• Cosmetically sensitive area

Wound took 3 weeks to fully heal.

At 6 weeks after laser treatment, the patient had a routine skin biopsy performed. Repeat biopsy was clear and did not find any residual BCC.

CASE STUDY 2

This is a case of biopsy proven BCC of the nose. (before and after photos)

Skin Cancer surgery in this area will cause:

• a large scar,
• possible distortion of the nose,
• possible narrowing of the nostril which can cause nasal obstruction,

Wound took 2 weeks to fully heal.

At 6 weeks after laser treatment, the patient had a routine skin biopsy performed. Repeat biopsy was clear and did not find any residual BCC.

CASE STUDY 3

This is a case of biopsy proven SCC In Situ (aka Bowens disease) of the nose. (before and after photos)

Skin Cancer surgery in this area will cause:

• a large scar,
• possible distortion of the nose,

CASE STUDY 6

This is a case of biopsy proven BCC of the right lower eyelid (before and after photos)

Skin Cancer surgery in this area will cause:

• scar,
• possible distortion of the lower lid (ectropion - where lower lids are pulled down)

This patient chose Laser/RF Skin Cancer Therapy because:

• Non surgical
• Simple and easy procedure lasting 10 minutes compared to surgery
• Cosmetically sensitive area
• Avoid complex surgery
• Avoid potential surgical complications - ectropion

CASE STUDY 7

This is a case of biopsy proven SCC In Situ (aka Bowens Disease) of the right upper eyebrow (before and after photos)

Skin Cancer surgery in this area will cause:
