What You Need To Know About GentleCure IG-SRT

GentleCure Image-Guided Superficial Radiation Therapy, or IG-SRT,, is a unique radiation system designed specifically for skin cancer. It destroys skin cancer cells using low levels of X-ray energy and is an effective treatment for both squamous cell and basal cell carcinoma.

GentleCure IG-SRT uses ultrasound technology to view and locate the precise area of the cancer. The technology also allows your dermatologist to view the size of the cancer over time during treatment to ensure it is shrinking. The treatment is very superficial and safe.

GentleCure IG-SRT provides important benefits when compared to other skin cancer therapies. Consider that GentleCure IG-SRT is:

• Completely non-surgical, with no cutting, bleeding, stitches, pain, risk of infection or surgical scarring
• Effective, boasting a cure rate of over 99%
• Convenient; delivered on an outpatient basis, with no hospital stay
• Easy, requiring no downtime, so that you can get back to enjoying your day

 You may experience mild side effects from treatment, including irritation, redness, and skin thinning in the treatment area. The skin in the treatment area may also appear darker or lighter. You may also lose hair in the treatment area.
