Non-Surgical Skin Cancer Treatments: Effective Options for Low-Grade Skin Cancers
While surgery is the most effective treatment for most skin cancers, certain low-grade cancers can be successfully treated with non-surgical methods. At our clinic, we are experienced in a range of non-surgical skin cancer treatments to help patients manage their skin health with minimally invasive options.
Non-Surgical Treatment Options
Our non-surgical treatments include:
- Cryotherapy (Liquid Nitrogen): Freezes and destroys cancer cells by applying extreme cold.
- Cautery: Uses heat to remove superficial skin cancers and pre-cancerous lesions.
- Pharmaceutical Creams: Prescription creams stimulate the immune system to target and destroy cancer cells.
- Photodynamic Therapy (PDT): A light-activated treatment that effectively targets abnormal cells.
- Laser Skin Cancer Treatment: Advanced CO2 or Erbium lasers are used to precisely remove cancerous tissue.
Types of Skin Cancers Suitable for Non-Surgical Treatment
Non-surgical treatments are most effective for low-grade skin cancers, such as:
- Superficial Basal Cell Carcinoma: A slow-growing, less aggressive form of skin cancer.
- Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Situ (Bowen’s Disease): An early form of squamous cell carcinoma, confined to the upper layer of skin.
- Solar Keratosis (Actinic Keratosis): Precancerous lesions caused by sun exposure, which may develop into skin cancer if left untreated.
When Surgery is Recommended
For more invasive skin cancers, surgery remains the best option. Cancers that extend deeper into the skin are at a higher risk for recurrence and metastasis if not completely removed.
Our Expertise in Laser Skin Cancer Treatments
We specialize in laser-based skin cancer treatments, including CO2 laser treatments, TiMED therapy, and Photodynamic Therapy (PDT). These advanced methods allow for precise targeting of abnormal tissue while preserving healthy skin.
The cost
The cost for laser skin cancer therapy is $500. There is a medicare rebate of about $100.
Our experienced team is committed to providing the right treatment based on each patient’s unique case. Whether surgical or non-surgical, our goal is to ensure effective and personalized skin cancer care.
Real Cases

This patient sought to avoid excessive scarring and the complex skin graft surgery recommended by a plastic surgeon. Instead, she opted for laser skin cancer treatment for the basal cell carcinoma on her nose.
The treatment was completed in just 5 minutes, resulting in:
✔️ Favorable cosmetic outcome with only a slight residual scar.
✔️ Complete removal of the skin cancer without the need for surgery.
The patient was satisfied with the outcome and relieved to avoid an invasive procedure.
