Computerized Dermatoscopic Mole Mapping
Mole Tracking
Regular checking of moles is critical for the early detection of skin cancer (melanoma). We use advanced computerized dermoscopy (Mole Mapping) technology to scan your entire body. This system takes high-resolution microscopic images of your moles and stores them artificially. In follow-up visits, the software automatically compares the new images with the old ones, detecting even the slightest microscopic changes in size, shape, or color that the human eye might miss.

If the digital analysis detects a risk, our dermatologist will examine it manually. If necessary, a small biopsy or removal (excision) can be performed immediately in our clinic for pathological examination.
