Dermoscopy refers to the technique of examination of the skin surface with a microscope. Dermoscopy is used widely by general practitioners, dermatologists and plastic surgeons to evaluate skin lesions.

In addition to our skin cancer services we also help our patients with the removal of moles and skin lesions for cosmetic purposes.

If your doctor finds a suspicious skin lesion, a biopsy may be performed to confirm the diagnosis and to guide towards the best option treatment and management.
