How It Works

Why Are Skin Screenings Important?

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer, but when caught early, it’s highly treatable. Routine screenings help with:

  • Early detection of melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma.
  • Monitoring changes in moles, freckles, or lesions.
  • Assessing sun damage and identifying precancerous skin conditions.
  • Providing personalized skin protection recommendations.
  • Peace of mind knowing your skin is professionally evaluated.

The Process

What to Expect During a Skin Screening

A full-body skin exam is quick, painless, and one of the most effective ways to catch skin cancer early. During your screening, our dermatologists will:

icon
Examine your skin from head to toe

checking for any irregular moles, growths, or discolorations.

icon
Use advanced diagnostic tools

such as dermoscopy, to closely evaluate any suspicious spots.

icon
Discuss any skin concerns

you’ve noticed and answer your questions about sun protection and skincare.

icon
Recommend follow-up care

biopsies, or additional testing if needed.

Skin Screening

Common Findings During Skin Screenings

During a skin screening, dermatologists often identify:

Moles

Moles come in various shapes, sizes, and colors. Some may be completely harmless, while others may require closer monitoring or evaluation for potential changes.

Sun Damage

Overexposure to UV rays can cause sunspots, discoloration, and precancerous lesions like actinic keratoses. Catching these early can prevent further damage and reduce skin cancer risk.

Suspicious Growths or Skin Cancer

If we spot irregular or changing lesions, we may recommend a biopsy to rule out skin cancer. Early detection is key to successful treatment.

Who Should Get a Skin Screening?

Everyone can benefit from a skin check, but it’s especially important if you:

  • Have fair skin or a history of sun exposure.
  • Have a family history of skin cancer.
  • Notice new, changing, or unusual moles.
  • Have had frequent sunburns or used tanning beds.
  • Those who have previously been diagnosed with skin cancer or precancerous lesions.
  • Spend a lot of time outdoors for work or recreation.
