With Mohs surgery, very thin layers of tissue are removed and looked at immediately under a microscope. The skin is numbed before the cancer is removed. Occasionally, a mild sedative may be given.

If skin cancer cells can be seen in the layer, Dr. Jeffrey Marcus continues shaving off layers one at a time until all cancerous tissue is carefully removed.
