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.
