Non-Surgical Skin Cancer Treatment in Bucks County, PA
For more than 15 years, Alpha Dermatology has treated thousands of skin cancer patients without a scalpel. Using electronic brachytherapy and superficial radiotherapy (SRT), we treat basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas with no cutting, no stitches, and no surgical scar. We serve patients across Bucks County and Montgomery County from our offices in Sellersville and New Hope, PA.
A Surgery-Free Alternative to Mohs
Mohs surgery is effective, but it isn't the only option — and for many patients it isn't the best one. Electronic brachytherapy and SRT offer a clinically proven, non-surgical alternative for appropriate basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers: short, painless office visits, no anesthesia, no wound care, and excellent cosmetic results, especially on the face.
| Non-surgical (EBT / SRT) | Mohs surgery | |
|---|---|---|
| Procedure | Low-energy radiation to the skin surface | Layered excision with margins checked |
| Anesthesia / stitches | None | Local anesthesia, sutures or graft |
| Recovery | Mild, sunburn-like redness | Wound care, activity limits |
| Cosmetic result | Typically no scar | Surgical scar |
Results Without a Scalpel
Two Non-Surgical Options, One Experienced Physician
Electronic Brachytherapy
A precise, low-energy dose delivered by a small applicator directly to the skin surface, sparing healthy tissue. Each session takes minutes in a standard exam room. Alpha Dermatology has been a pioneer in this technology, with peer-reviewed published results.

Calibrated low-energy X-rays, with high-resolution ultrasound to visualize the tumor's depth and width and tailor the dose. Especially useful for lesions on the face, ears, scalp and neck.

- Biopsy-confirmed basal or squamous cell carcinoma
- Want to avoid facial surgery
- On blood thinners or have conditions that add surgical risk
- Prefer a non-invasive option
What Recovery Looks Like
There are no stitches and no surgical wound. Treated skin may become pink, dry, or mildly irritated over the course — similar to a sunburn — and settles in the weeks afterward. Most patients continue normal activities throughout.
Cost & Insurance
Covered by Medicare and most major plans for eligible skin cancers. We verify benefits before treatment. Cherry and CareCredit financing available. We're physician-owned, so you get clear, direct answers about cost.
