IG-SRT: A Revolutionary Skin Cancer Treatment for Better Healing and Minimal Downtime
Skin cancer is one of the most common cancers globally, but thanks to advancements in dermatology, there are more treatment options than ever before. One of the most innovative and effective skin cancer treatments is Image Guided Superficial Radiation Therapy (IG-SRT), known commercially as GentleCure™.
This non-invasive procedure offers patients a modern alternative to traditional methods, providing high success rates without the need for surgery, long recovery times, or significant scarring.
If you live in sunny South Florida and spend a lot of time outdoors, you’re likely exposed to the sun’s harmful rays. Protecting your skin with dermatologist-proven tips is essential, but if it’s too late for prevention, Frieder Dermatology with offices in Boca Raton and Palm Beach Gardens is the ideal choice for cutting-edge treatments that can help treat and care for your skin.
What is IG-SRT?
Image Guided Superficial Radiation Therapy, marketed under the brand name GentleCure™, is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment specifically designed for skin cancers like basal and squamous cell carcinomas. Using precise low-dose X-ray energy, it targets cancerous cells without the need for surgery or incisions.
The procedure is guided by advanced imaging technology, ensuring the radiation is delivered directly to the tumor site, sparing healthy surrounding tissue. Unlike traditional methods, this approach offers a convenient and painless alternative that doesn’t require anesthesia or a lengthy recovery process.

Why It’s is So Effective and How It Compares to Traditional Treatments
The main reason IG-SRT stands out is its precision and minimal invasiveness. Traditional treatments like Mohs surgery often involve physically removing layers of skin, which can be invasive and require multiple visits for wound care.
In contrast, IG-SRT uses targeted low-energy X-rays to focus directly on the cancer cells, eliminating them without the need for cutting or stitches. GentleCure™ treatments achieve a 99% cure rate and allow the skin to heal naturally, reducing the chances of scarring and trauma.
One of the biggest advantages of this treatment is the minimal downtime. Patients can return to their normal activities right after each brief treatment session—typically lasting only a few minutes. This makes it an ideal choice for those with busy lives who can’t afford lengthy recovery periods.
“It’s about offering a treatment that is both effective and convenient,” says Dr. Frieder. “Patients are often surprised by how easy the process is compared to traditional surgeries, and the results speak for themselves.”
When compared to Mohs surgery, Image-Guided Superficial Radiation Therapy is without a doubt the better choice. It doesn’t require anesthesia, invasive procedures, or extensive post-treatment care. It also offers am incredibly high success rate with fewer side effects and a faster recovery, all while providing a long-lasting solution for skin cancer.
Who Should Consider This Treatment?
It is most effective for individuals diagnosed with non-melanoma skin cancers, particularly basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma, which are the most common types. It’s also an excellent option for those who:
- Want to avoid surgery
- Have health conditions that make surgery a risk
- Are looking for a quicker recovery with minimal disruption to their daily lives
- Have skin cancers located in sensitive areas where surgery may result in undesirable cosmetic outcomes
Dr. Frieder explains, “The goal is to give patients the best care with the least amount of disruption. It provides that balance, with highly effective results and minimal recovery time.”
