How Dr. Sotelo Dermatology Center employs Superficial Radiation Therapy
As society progresses and advances, so does the technology we use. A century ago, people would never have considered the possibility of the life-saving medical machines we use today.
Dr. Sotelo uses only the latest, up-to-date medical treatments at his dermatology clinic, such as Superficial Radiotherapy (SRT). This method uses low-energy radiotherapy to penetrate just a short distance below the skin’s surface. SRT is shown to be highly effective, painless, and a more cosmetically appealing alternative to surgery for non-melanoma skin cancer.
How does SRT work?
SRT delivers a precisely calibrated dose of radiation that does not involve any cutting, stitching, or pain. Patients undergoing the procedure can do it safely right in Dr. Sotelo’s office.
The SRT – 100TM is the new and most advanced choice for superficial radiation therapy. Patients treated with SRT heal quickly and do not have downtime or lifestyle restrictions after treatment.
Who gets SRT?
SRT is used for patients with certain types of skin cancers such as squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, and certain non-malignant tumor cells, like keloids. Visit www.drsotelodermatology.com to see some before and after results of real patients who underwent SRT treatment!
The SRT – 100TM is often used in private practices and clinics, like the Dermatology Surgery Center of Oscar Sotelo, M.D. Some hospitals and multi-locale healthcare providers may also have superficial radiation therapy as a treatment option. Dr. Sotelo and his team are dedicated to providing care, compassion, attention, comfort, and solutions to every patient who walks through our doors.
