Skin Cancer Post -op Skin Rehabilitation
______________
The sun can be sneaky, but skin cancer is deadly serious. I’m contacted regularly by people seeking help after undergoing Mohs surgery — a life-saving but often uncomfortable experience.
While not 100% effective, Mohs micrographic surgery remains one of the most successful treatments for skin cancer. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, this procedure offers a remarkable 99% cure rate for previously untreated basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas — the two most common types of skin cancer.
But once the cancer is gone, the healing journey begins. And post-op recovery can feel less like a gentle rest and more like a full-contact sport.
Most post-operative care instructions focus on infection prevention — keeping the site clean and applying a prescribed ointment. While essential, that approach overlooks something equally important: the thousand tiny pulls, tears, and discomfort patients feel as the skin works to repair itself.
After years devoted to skin rehabilitation, I’ve learned that comfort, elasticity, and scar management deserve just as much attention as infection control. Many patients tell me their biggest concern isn’t just pain — it’s wondering whether their face will ever look the same again.
That’s where De La Terre Skincare offers remarkable solutions. Our post-operative protocol is designed to ease tightness and reduce the painful pulling around incision sites, while creating the ideal environment for the skin to heal beautifully — with minimal scarring.
And because so many of those who develop skin cancer are passionate about the outdoors, we also make sure they can safely return to the activities they love. Once healing is complete, we transition clients to our Sun Diffuser — a natural, non-toxic way to help keep skin protected and healthy.
Natural science continues to teach us that when skin is given the right environment, it knows how to regenerate, restore, and auto-correct itself.
If you’re on your own post-surgery healing journey — or simply want to safeguard your skin — we’re here to help.
Tell us your skin concerns, and let’s begin your path to recovery.
