Dermoscopy is the examination of the skin using
a surface microscope to identify patterns that exist in
skin cancer, especially melanomas. A dermatoscope is
a handheld device (similar to a small flashlight with
a magnifying glass) that your dermatologist can use
during your full body skin check. A dermatoscope is
used to analyze your skin lesions, helping to identify
skin cancer as early as possible, when it is most easily
cured. Dermoscopy is also a feature on our new total body
photography device.
