We read with interest the article by Leonard and McLean-Mandell in Dermatologic Surgery1 and commend the authors for bringing environmental sustainability in Mohs surgery to the wider attention of readers and dermatologists. We acknowledge their innovative practice alteration of using a hyfrecator over an electrodessication device, thereby reducing waste and cost. We offer further reflections on our experience of environmental sustainability in Mohs surgery in the United Kingdom, and a new UK-wide initiative led by the British Society of Dermatology Surgery (BSDS) sustainability subgroup.
