Surgical dermatology at Bahr Dermatology in Bountiful, Utah, focuses on advanced, minimally invasive procedures to treat medical and functional skin issues. Our board-certified providers, led by Dr. Brooks A. Bahr, offer high-precision techniques designed to remove skin cancers, benign lesions, and problematic sweat glands while preserving healthy tissue. With a patient-centered approach and emphasis on comfort and safety, our surgical services aim to restore both health and confidence.
Mohs Surgery Procedure
Mohs micrographic surgery is the gold standard for treating skin cancers such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and select early melanomas. During this procedure, Dr. Bahr removes the visible tumor and examines tissue margins under a microscope in stages. By repeating this process until no cancer cells remain, Mohs surgery achieves the highest cure rates while sparing as much healthy skin as possible. Patients typically remain awake with a local anesthetic, and Dr. Bahr is trained to provide immediate reconstruction or wound care on the same day to minimize scarring.
Miradry
miraDry is a non-surgical, FDA-cleared treatment that permanently reduces underarm sweat, odor, and hair by targeting and eliminating sweat glands with controlled microwave energy. Performed in our office, the procedure takes about one hour and requires minimal downtime. Most patients notice immediate results and enjoy long-lasting relief from excessive underarm sweating. Our team will customize the miraDry treatment plan to meet your specific needs and ensure maximum comfort throughout the process.
Overall, our surgical dermatology services combine cutting-edge technology with Dr. Bahr’s extensive expertise to deliver effective, lasting solutions. Whether you are seeking skin cancer removal or a permanent reduction in underarm sweating, you can trust Bahr Dermatology to provide compassionate care and excellent outcomes.
