Whole body examination
Your skin is a sensitive organ that reveals a lot about your health. Regular mole checks can help detect skin changes early and minimize potential risks like skin cancer.
Early detection plays a central role, especially in modern dermatology—for both medical and aesthetic reasons. Many underestimate the importance of regular skin checkups.
Dermatologists specialize in reliably assessing even the smallest changes and initiating targeted treatment.
When should you have them examined?
These are mostly harmless pigment accumulations in the skin that can appear in various shapes and colors. However, not all of them are harmless. Dermatologists recommend regular checkups, especially for moles that are changing or appear unusual.
Typical warning signs include uneven edges, rapid growth, discoloration, or itching. In these cases, a professional analysis by an experienced specialist or dermatologist is strongly recommended.
Seemingly harmless skin changes that turn out to be dangerous can be treated effectively with early diagnosis. An early check-up provides clarity and ensures safety.
A check-up at a dermatology practice is quick and painless. First, a doctor or dermatologist will ask you detailed questions about your skin health. This is followed by a thorough visual examination of the skin's surface.
Thanks to modern technologies such as dermatoscopy or digital image documentation, dermatologists can precisely assess abnormal areas.
If necessary, a sample will be taken or a specific therapy recommendation will be made.
Often, regular checks are enough to keep an eye on possible changes.
