- Mohs Surgery“I have been going to Dr. Echt’s office from Youngsville for over 10 years. The office, nurses, and staff are very efficient, friendly, and patient. My experience is always one of true caring. Dr. Echt never fails to call and check on me after Mohs surgery. She has great compassion for all her patients, and I feel like I am a part of their professional family.”
- BotoxBotox Cosmetic is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows. It works by blocking the nerve impulses to the injected muscles. This reduces muscle activity that causes those lines to form between brows. While the results are visible, a treatment with Botox Cosmetic will not radically change your facial appearance or make you look like you’ve “had work done.” Results have been shown to last up to 4 months.

- Skin CancerThe most important factor affecting your risk of developing skin cancer is long-term exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation found in sunlight and tanning beds. UV radiation damages skin cells and may lead to malignant changes. UV exposure from the sun can affect the skin even when it’s cloudy and overcast.

- LesionsMohs surgery has been shown to be a highly effective treatment for certain types of skin cancer, with a cure rate of up to 99 percent for certain tumors. Because the Mohs procedure is micrographically controlled, it provides the most precise method for removal of the cancerous tissue, while sparing the greatest amount of healthy tissue. The Mohs procedure is recommended for skin cancer removal on areas of the body where it is highly desirable to preserve as much healthy tissue as possible for either cosmetic or functional reasons such as the face or hands. Mohs surgery also may be used for lesions that have recurred following prior treatment or for lesions that have the greatest likelihood of recurrence.
