Skin Cancer Prevention

Regular skin examinations are a preventative measure that should be included in your personal health plan. Skin cancer is becoming increasingly common. In Germany alone, there are approximately 250.000 new cases (both basal cell carcinoma and melanoma) every year. With timely treatment, the chances of a cure are very good. Therefore, early diagnosis and regular checkups are crucial. A skin cancer screening examination should be performed annually, or at least every two years.

We perform over 1000 skin cancer treatments every year. 

When you come for a skin cancer screening, we take plenty of time for you. We thoroughly examine your entire skin from head to toe, so that we can optimally examine and analyze all skin changes.

Computer-aided analysis and documentation

In our dermatology practice, we use state-of-the-art equipment to examine your moles, birthmarks, and skin changes. Innovative camera technology allows us to create brilliant microscopic images with 20-70x magnification. This enables us to differentiate between suspicious moles and harmless skin changes.

Our dermatologists document and archive suspicious moles and birthmarks using a state-of-the-art video documentation system. During regular check-ups, these recordings are used to monitor for any changes in the skin's appearance, thus preventing unnecessary excisions.

Noticeable skin changes

If a mole has changed noticeably, it may need to be surgically removed. We can perform this procedure on an outpatient basis in our practice. A histological examination of the removed tissue ensures the complete removal of any malignant material. If you are diagnosed with skin cancer, you will also receive a personalized skin cancer passport.
