Laser Therapy For Skin Cancer

Laser therapy is a precise treatment that uses concentrated beams of light to destroy cancer cells while sparing surrounding healthy tissue. It is most effective for localized, less aggressive forms of basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and precancerous lesions like actinic keratoses. Benefits include minimal scarring, quicker recovery, and improved cosmetic outcomes—especially for sensitive areas such as the face or neck. However, laser therapy is not recommended for invasive or high-risk cancers that require surgery or systemic treatments. While often completed in a single outpatient session, larger lesions may need multiple treatments, and results can vary depending on skin type and tone.
