GentleCure (Image-Guided SRT)

BOOK APPOINTMENT

GentleCure is an advanced, non-surgical treatment option for non-melanoma skin cancer that uses image-guided superficial radiation therapy (SRT) to precisely target cancer cells while protecting surrounding healthy tissue. This technology is commonly used to treat basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma and is performed entirely in the dermatology office.

As a GentleCure cancer treatment, image-guided SRT combines low-dose radiation with high-resolution ultrasound imaging. This allows the dermatologist to visualize the tumor, measure its depth, and monitor progress throughout the course of care. For many patients, GentleCure for skin cancer provides an effective alternative to surgery without incisions, stitches, or anesthesia.

Bare Dermatology is proud to offer the non-surgical, gold-standard treatment for nonmelanoma skin cancer

GentleCure Treatment in Texas

GentleCure offers several important advantages for patients seeking a non-surgical approach to skin cancer treatment, particularly for cancers in cosmetically sensitive or hard-to-treat areas.

Non-surgical treatment option: GentleCure treats skin cancer without cutting, stitches, or reconstructive surgery.

Image-guided precision: Ultrasound imaging allows the dermatologist to see the cancer, measure its depth, and guide treatment with accuracy.

Targeted radiation therapy: Low-dose X-ray energy is delivered directly to the cancer while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue.

In-office care: Treatment is performed entirely in the dermatology office, making GentleCure cancer treatment convenient and accessible.

Cosmetic preservation: Because there is no surgery, GentleCure may help reduce the risk of surgical scarring in visible areas.

GentleCure treatment is performed in the dermatology office and is designed to be comfortable, precise, and non-invasive. Each session follows a structured process guided by real-time imaging.

In-office treatment experience: You will sit comfortably in a chair while ultrasound gel is applied to the treatment area.

Ultrasound imaging: An imaging wand is used to capture a detailed image of the skin cancer, allowing the dermatologist to visualize the tumor and define the treatment area.

Targeted radiation delivery: Once imaging is complete, the device is positioned over the site and a precise dose of low-energy X-ray radiation is delivered to the cancer.

Short treatment sessions: Each visit typically takes about 15 minutes from arrival to completion.

Treatment schedule: Sessions are usually scheduled several times per week, with the full course of GentleCure for skin cancer completed over approximately 4 to 7 weeks.

This image-guided approach allows progress to be monitored throughout treatment until there are no visible signs of cancer.

GentleCure treatment is available through in-office visits at select Bare Dermatology locations, including Dallas Research Row, Frisco, Gainesville, and Rockwall, where dermatologists guide patients through each step of image-guided care.

GentleCure is well tolerated and does not require surgical recovery. There are no incisions, stitches, or anesthesia. Most patients continue normal daily activities throughout treatment.

Mild skin changes at the treatment site may occur and are monitored during follow-up visits. Healing occurs gradually as the treated cancer resolves over time.

Because treatment is non-invasive, GentleCure cancer treatment allows patients to avoid the downtime often associated with surgical procedures.

GentleCure may be an appropriate option for patients who:

  • Have basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma
  • Prefer a non-surgical treatment approach
  • Are not ideal candidates for surgery
  • Have skin cancer in cosmetically sensitive areas
  • Want treatment performed in a dermatology office setting

During your consultation, the dermatologist will review your pathology report, discuss your treatment goals, and help determine whether GentleCure is the best option for your specific diagnosis. Patients exploring GentleCure locations or searching for GentleCure near me can schedule an appointment to learn more about this image-guided treatment approach.

FAQ About GentleCure

Yes, GentleCure works for skin cancer in many cases involving non-melanoma skin cancers, particularly basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. GentleCure uses image-guided superficial radiation therapy (SRT) to precisely target cancer cells while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue. A dermatologist will determine whether this treatment is appropriate based on the type, size, and location of the skin cancer.

GentleCure does not work on melanoma. Image-guided SRT is designed for non-melanoma skin cancers and is not used to treat melanoma. If melanoma is suspected or diagnosed, other treatment options, often surgical, are typically recommended. Your dermatologist will guide you toward the most appropriate care based on your diagnosis.

In many cases, GentleCure is covered by insurance, including Medicare and some private insurance plans, when it is deemed medically necessary. Coverage can vary depending on your specific plan and diagnosis, so it is important to verify benefits with your insurance provider. The Bare Dermatology team can help review coverage and answer questions before treatment begins.

You should see a dermatologist if you have been diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma, or if a non-melanoma skin cancer is located in an area where surgery may not be ideal. A dermatologist can review your biopsy results and determine whether GentleCure (image-guided SRT) is an appropriate non-surgical treatment option.

GentleCure evaluation and treatment are available through in-office consultations at Bare Dermatology locations in Dallas Research Row, Frisco, Gainesville, and Rockwall. Additional medical and aesthetic dermatology services are offered at Bare Dermatology locations throughout Texas.
