What is Dermoscopy ?

Dermoscopy, also known as dermatoscopy or epiluminescence microscopy, is a non-invasive, advanced skin examination technique that allows dermatologists to view skin lesions in greater detail. Using a dermoscope, which combines magnification and light, doctors can examine the patterns and structures of the skin that are not visible to the naked eye.If you have any concerning skin lesions or wish to undergo a preventive skin check-up, contact us to schedule your dermoscopy consultation. Early diagnosis can save lives – protect your skin health with confidence.

Why is Dermoscopy Done?

Dermoscopy is primarily used for:

✅ Early detection of skin cancer (melanoma and non-melanoma)
✅ Evaluating moles and pigmented lesions for changes or abnormalities
✅ Assessing skin rashes, infections, or inflammatory conditions
✅ Monitoring existing lesions over time for any suspicious changes
✅ Diagnosing hair and scalp conditions (trichoscopy)

How is Dermoscopy Performed?

During a dermoscopy examination:

  1. The doctor uses a handheld dermoscope placed directly on the skin or slightly above it with a contact fluid.
  2. It provides 10x or higher magnification with polarised or non-polarised light to visualise subsurface structures.
  3. Images can be captured and stored digitally for future comparison and monitoring.

The procedure is painless, quick, and does not require any preparation.
