What Is GentleCure?
GentleCure is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment that uses low-energy, targeted radiotherapy to destroy skin cancer cells safely and precisely.
It is image-guided, meaning that real-time ultrasound allows providers to view the cancer beneath the skin’s surface, measure it accurately, and treat it with unmatched precision.
Because it does not involve surgery, cutting, or anesthesia, it protects surrounding healthy skin and minimizes risk of scarring or downtime.
GentleCure has quickly become one of the most trusted non-surgical options for treating Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) and Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)—the two most common types of non-melanoma skin cancer.

What Can GentleCure Treat?
GentleCure is highly effective for treating:
- Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)
- Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)
- Select early-stage non-melanoma lesions
- Skin cancers in highly visible or delicate areas (nose, face, neck, ears, chest, shins)
GentleCure is especially ideal for areas where scarring could be a cosmetic concern.
How GentleCure Works
1
Ultrasound imaging identifies the exact size, depth, and position of the cancer.
2
Low-energy radiotherapy is delivered directly to the lesion at the skin’s surface.
3
Cancer cells are disabled over a series of brief sessions—typically 5 to 7 weeks.
4
The surrounding tissue remains unharmed, and surface skin gradually heals.
Treatment sessions are fast, painless, and require no recovery time.

How GentleCure Works
Before Treatment
You will undergo a consultation and ultrasound imaging to confirm if GentleCure is appropriate for your specific type of skin cancer. Measurements and images guide your personalized treatment plan.
During Treatment
Each session lasts only a few minutes. The device delivers a controlled dose of energy to the lesion—completely painless for most patients. You can immediately resume normal activity after every visit.
After Treatment
The treated area may show mild redness or temporary skin irritation, similar to a light sunburn. These side effects typically fade quickly. Over time, treated skin heals smoothly, with minimal cosmetic impact compared to surgery.
Results Timeline
- Improvements begin within a few weeks of consistent sessions.
- Full results typically develop once all cancer cells are destroyed and the area heals—often within a few months.
- Scarring is rare, making GentleCure one of the most aesthetically friendly treatment options available.
Who’s a Good Candidate for GentleCure?
You may be a great candidate if you:
- Have been diagnosed with BCC or SCC
- Prefer a non-surgical alternative
- Wish to avoid scarring
- Have skin cancer in a delicate or highly visible area
- Cannot undergo surgical procedures due to medical limitations
- Want a comfortable, low-risk treatment option
