How does the instrument work?

Digital dermatoscope takes a picture of your mole, magnifies it up to 120x and adds a 3D information about the examined formation to the image. Specialized computer software works on the principle of image analysis and artificial intelligence of neuronal networks. Signs that are commonly unidentifiable and that are vital for more accurate diagnosis are visualized. Afterwards, this processed image is compared to almost 100.000 moles that have already been scientifically evaluated in detail (including the histological analysis under the microscope) in cooperation with 14 dermatology clinics from all over Europe.

What is the digital dermatoscope used for?

The instrument identifies and evaluates the level of risk of developing cancerous changes in the skin. This specialized examination is crucial for preventive and early detection of suspicious moles that could adversely change into cancerous. In most cases, detection of the skin cancer in early stage followed by its removal leads to the complete cure of the patient.

Mole examination

Apart from accurate and early detection of suspicious moles, the biggest advantage is the possibility of mapping that allows easy monitoring afterwards. Regular examination of the targeted suspicious moles will provide you with needed comfort and you do not need to risk unnecessary scarring caused by removal of the mole that was not required. Basic prevention against developing the skin cancer is due protection against the undesired effects of sunlight. During the mole examination, we will also determine the phototype of your skin and suggest the most appropriate sun protection products for free.

Centre of Prevention against Skin Cancer

Our dermatology clinic has obtained the prestigious certificate of the Centre of Prevention against Skin Cancer (Centrum prevence kožních nádorů). The main objective is early detection, following monitoring and treatment of skin cancer.

What is the benefit for you?

All moles on your body are given numbers and are saved in the instrument. If you attend a preventive check-up, which is recommended once a year, we will compare the old image to the new image of your mole, and we will see all the changes accurately.
