Non melanoma skin cancers such as basal and squamous cell, often require in-depth surgery that can leave scars, long recovery times, pain, and anxiety. ForCare Dermatology is the first office in Tampa Bay to offer an innovative procedure that requires no cutting, and no downtime. It is an advanced Bladeless Electron Beam. ForCare is the second in the nation to provide this highly innovative procedure.
If you are diagnosed with non-melanoma skin cancer and you are only offered traditional surgery, you may want to do some further research on the benefits of Bladeless Electron Beam therapy.
Bladeless Electron Beam Therapy
With Bladeless Electron Beam therapy there is no contact with the skin. The device works through amplified X-ray technology, and the electron beam passes through healthy skin without damaging the cellular structure. The non-melanoma cancer can be easily and effectively treated without cutting, and patients do not need to stop taking certain medications such as blood thinners as with traditional skin cancer surgery. Patients can also continue with their normal activities. There is no downtime as with traditional surgery.
Because the device provides such precise treatment around the borders of the skin cancer, it is the perfect solution for non-Melanoma cancers around the eyes, nose, ears and lips. Electron Beam therapy disrupts the cancer cells and reduces their likelihood of reproducing. Not all dermatologists offer this innovative procedure. ForCare Medical Group is on the leading edge of advanced procedures and treatment options. They are one of the only offices that provide Bladeless Electron Beam Therapy here locally.

On a regular basis, you should have a screening at least once a year. Because some forms of skin cancer grow very rapidly, if you are experiencing any new lesions, bumps, or moles that are of concern, you should schedule a dermatology appointment immediately.
