Facing a skin cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming — especially when you’re worried about the effects of treatment on your appearance. The good news is that today’s technology offers advanced, non-surgical solutions that effectively treat cancer while preserving your skin’s natural look and feel.
At Central Oregon Dermatology, we’re proud to offer the SRT-100 Vision Gentle Cure, an innovative, non-invasive treatment for non-melanoma skin cancers and keloid scars. This modern approach uses Image-Guided Superficial Radiation Therapy (SRT) — the first and only skin cancer treatment equipped with high-frequency ultrasound imaging for precise, targeted results.
What Is Image-Guided Superficial Radiation Therapy (SRT)?
Superficial Radiation Therapy (SRT) delivers a controlled, shallow dose of radiation that reaches only about five millimeters beneath the skin’s surface. This allows the treatment to safely and effectively destroy cancerous cells — specifically basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, the two most common types of non-melanoma skin cancers — without damaging surrounding healthy tissue.
Unlike traditional surgery, Image-Guided SRT uses ultrasound imaging to visualize the exact size, shape, and depth of the cancer. This allows your dermatologist to treat only the affected area with incredible accuracy. You can even watch the cancer shrink with each visit as your treatment progresses.
Why Choose the SRT-100 Vision?
The SRT-100 Vision offers patients a number of unique advantages over surgical options like Mohs surgery or excision, including:
-
No cutting, no bleeding, no stitches
-
No anesthesia or downtime
-
No pain and no scarring
-
In-office treatment — performed right here at Central Oregon Dermatology
-
More than 99% effective at curing basal and squamous cell skin cancers
Because it’s non-surgical and so gentle, SRT-100 is especially ideal for patients with cancers on visible or sensitive areas such as the face, scalp, ears, nose, and neck, where scarring can be a major concern.
Treating More Than Skin Cancer
In addition to treating non-melanoma skin cancers, the SRT-100 Vision is also highly effective in treating keloid scars — thick, raised scars that can appear after an injury or surgery. By targeting the overactive cells responsible for keloid formation, SRT helps flatten and fade these scars, improving skin texture and appearance.
What to Expect During Treatment
Each Image-Guided SRT session is quick, comfortable, and completed right in our office. You’ll relax in a treatment chair while your dermatologist applies a precise, low-dose X-ray beam to the affected area. There’s no pain, no recovery time, and no need for bandages.
Most patients require a short series of sessions over several weeks. Afterward, you can return to your normal daily activities immediately — with no restrictions.
Proven Results with a Gentle Touch
The SRT-100 Vision isn’t just convenient — it’s clinically proven. Studies show that Image-Guided SRT achieves a cure rate of over 99% for both basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers, making it one of today’s most effective and trusted treatment options.
For patients who want the confidence of clear skin without surgery or scarring, SRT offers a life-changing solution that combines medical precision with cosmetic preservation.
