Dermoscopy, also known as dermatoscopy or epiluminescence microscopy, is a non-invasive diagnostic technique used by dermatologists to examine skin lesions in detail. It involves using a dermatoscope, a specialised handheld device with magnification and light, to observe skin structures that are not visible to the naked eye.
Dermoscopy is used to differentiate between benign and malignant skin lesions, monitor changes in moles over time, and detect early signs of skin cancer. It provides dermatologists with enhanced visualisation and allows for more accurate diagnosis compared to traditional methods.
No, dermoscopy is a painless procedure. It involves placing the dermatoscope directly on the skin’s surface to examine lesions. There is no cutting or invasive procedures involved.
The duration of a dermoscopy examination depends on the number of lesions being evaluated. Typically, each lesion can be examined in a few minutes. A comprehensive evaluation may take 15-30 minutes in total.
Individuals with a history of sun exposure, multiple moles, or a personal or family history of skin cancer should consider dermoscopy examinations. It is recommended for anyone concerned about changes in their skin or seeking early detection of skin conditions.
During a dermoscopy appointment, Dr Ghazavi will examine your skin lesions using a dermatoscope. We may take photographs of suspicious lesions for monitoring purposes. You may discuss any concerns or changes in your skin with the Dr Ghazavi during this time.
Dermoscopy is a safe procedure with minimal risks. Some individuals may experience temporary redness or mild discomfort at the site of examination, which typically resolves quickly. Serious complications are rare.
The frequency of dermoscopy examinations depends on your individual risk factors and Dr Ghazavi's recommendations. For individuals with a history of skin cancer or at higher risk, annual or biennial examinations may be recommended. Dr Ghazavi will create a personalised screening schedule based on your needs.
