Squamous Cell Carcinoma Treatment in Palm Springs

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a type of non-melanoma skin cancer caused by mutations in skin cell DNA, which then spreads to surrounding cells. SCC occurs in the squamous layer found at the top of the skin’s outer layer (the epidermis). Symptoms of SCC typically include a scaly, firm reddish nodule on the skin or a flat, crusty skin lesion. It usually develops where skin is frequently exposed to the sun, particularly the face, ears, hands, neck, and scalp. We know how apprehensive squamous cell carcinoma can make you. We urge you to undergo regular skin cancer screenings, especially if the above risk factors apply to you.


If it is determined that you have squamous cell carcinoma, we offer an assortment of treatment options, including topical medications, superficial radiation therapy (SRT), excision surgery, electrodesiccation with curettage, photodynamic Therapy (PDT), and cryotherapy.

Chemical Peel Treatment in Palm Springs

A chemical peel is a procedure in which a solution is applied to the top layer of your skin to remove dead, flaky skin cells. This allows the fresh, new layer of skin underneath to develop and grow, leaving you with a radiant and brighter complexion. There are three types of peels, each characterized by how deep they penetrate. These include superficial peels, which penetrate only as far as the outermost layer of the skin (epidermis), medium peels, which treat the top layer of the dermis (not to be confused with the epidermis), and deep peels, which treat the bottom layer of the dermis. Chemical peels offer numerous benefits, some of which include: improvement of fine lines and wrinkles, reduction of age/sun spots, smoothing of rough skin texture, faded shallow scars (including those from acne), an improved skin tone, and balanced pigmentation. Chemical peels are safe for a variety of skin colors, although the lighter the skin, the more effective the treatment will be. West Dermatolog...
