GentleCure: Advanced Non-Surgical Skin Cancer Treatment

At Reno Tahoe Dermatology, we understand that a diagnosis of skin cancer can be overwhelming. That’s why we offer GentleCure, a state-of-the-art, non-invasive treatment option for nonmelanoma skin cancers, such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.

What is GentleCure?

GentleCure utilizes Image-Guided Superficial Radiotherapy (IG-SRT), a cutting-edge, non-surgical treatment designed to precisely target and eliminate skin cancer cells without the need for cutting, scarring, or reconstructive surgery. This technology uses low-level X-ray energy to destroy cancer cells, allowing your healthy skin tissue to regenerate naturally.

Why Choose GentleCure?

  • Painless & Non-invasive: GentleCure is a comfortable and convenient alternative to surgery. It requires no anesthesia and has no cutting, bleeding, or downtime.
  • High Cure Rate: GentleCure is one of the most effective skin cancer treatments available, boasting a 99% cure rate for basal and squamous cell carcinomas.
  • No Scarring: Unlike surgical options, GentleCure leaves no scars, making it ideal for treating cancers on visible areas such as the face, ears, and neck.
  • Precise Treatment: With ultrasound imaging, your doctor can see the tumor in real-time, precisely target it, and monitor its shrinkage throughout treatment.

What to Expect

The IG-SRT process is simple. You’ll sit comfortably while your doctor applies a gel to the treatment area and uses an ultrasound imaging device to capture a detailed image of the tumor. This allows for precise measurement and treatment planning. Treatment involves 3 to 5 sessions per week over 4 to 7 weeks, with each session lasting around 15 minutes.

The Benefits of GentleCure

  • No surgery, no scars, and no need for reconstructive procedures.
  • Minimal side effects, such as mild redness and swelling, which usually resolve after treatment.
  • Ability to treat up to 3 tumors simultaneously.
  • Resume your daily activities without interruption during treatment.

Is GentleCure Right for You?

GentleCure is a great option for individuals who:

  • Prefer a non-surgical solution.
  • Want to avoid the risks and recovery time associated with surgery.
  • Are concerned about cosmetic results.
  • Have multiple skin cancers to be treated at once.
