Dermatoscopy

Dermatoscopy is a non-invasive method for a detailed examination of the surface layers of the skin and its various formations (moles, vascular lesions, pigmentation, nail diseases, etc.) using a device called a dermatoscope.

 

The dermatoscope allows magnification of the examined skin structures up to 10 times, which is significantly more than a simple inspection by the naked eye.

 

Thus, it is much more easier to differentiate between benign and malignant skin lesions.

Dermatoscopy

The dermatoscopic examination is indicated in all cases with an increased risk of malignancy of skin formations, as well as in the presence of suspicious skin lesions that are subject to dynamic follow-up.

 

In modern dermatoscopy, polarized light can additionally be used, which makes the surface of the skin transparent and allows examination of the deeper layers of the epidermis and dermis. In addition, digital imaging allows objective tracking of the dynamics of development and evolution of the skin structure over time.

 

Carrying out a dermatoscopic examination does not require special preparation from the patient. Use of high-quality dermatoscope and additional qualification of the dermatologist are required.
