Digital dermatoscopy (dermoscopy) and mole examination
Digital dermatoscopy is the gold standard in modern dermatology for the early detection of skin changes, particularly pigmented lesions like moles. This method integrates advanced technology and expert analysis to ensure precise diagnosis and prompt monitoring of potentially harmful changes.
Moles are common pigmented skin changes, typically benign. However, some moles may undergo atypical changes over time or signal melanoma, one of the most aggressive forms of skin cancer. Early detection and regular monitoring can help prevent serious complications and ensure effective treatment.
The examination with a manual dermatoscope allows for direct observation of pigmented skin lesions, enabling expert analysis through magnification and specialized lighting that enhances the visibility of mole structures. A classic dermatoscopy examination is perfect for swiftly and accurately assessing individual lesions and can be the first step in the diagnostic process.
Digital dermatoscopy is an advanced, non-invasive technique that enables detailed analysis of the structures of moles and other skin lesions using high-resolution cameras and specialized software. This technology enables image storage for comparison during future inspections, which is essential for detecting changes at an early stage.
Photo Finder – the cutting-edge technology
Our clinic uses Photo Finder, one of the most advanced dermatoscopic systems on the market. This innovative device offers a range of diagnostic and monitoring capabilities:
- Examination and analysis of moles: Photo Finder allows for magnification and detailed examination of pigmented lesions through high-quality images.
- Time tracking: The software records and stores images, making it easy to detect any changes in moles during follow-up examinations.
- Total Body Mapping: The device creates a comprehensive map of the entire body surface, documenting all existing lesions and moles, which is especially beneficial for individuals with multiple moles.
- AI analysis: Photo Finder utilizes artificial intelligence to further assess risk, ensuring enhanced accuracy in diagnosis.
The digital dermatoscopy examination is a quick, painless, and non-invasive procedure. The dermatologist will first conduct a clinical examination of the skin, followed by the use of the Photo Finder to analyze suspicious lesions in detail. If necessary, the mole image will be stored for monitoring during future examinations. The examination results are provided right away, and the dermatologist will suggest the next steps, such as mole removal or ongoing monitoring, based on the findings.
