Dermatoscopy Skin Screening
Dermatoscopy Skin Screening
A dermatoscope magnifies and lights the skin so features invisible to the naked eye can be assessed, which improves the accuracy of a skin check.
When It Is Typically Used
- Cancer Screening — Certain cancers are among the conditions the practice screens for.
- Changing Moles — A mole that changes in size, color, or border deserves a closer look.
- Annual Physicals — A skin check fits naturally into a full yearly examination.
Working Alongside Other On-Site Services
Anything concerning can be documented and, if needed, sampled for laboratory analysis.
What to Expect
The examination is entirely non-invasive. Your provider will explain any finding and whether follow-up is recommended.
