The skin is the largest organ of the human body and an important indicator of overall health. Skin changes may be temporary and harmless, but in some cases they require a detailed examination, monitoring or timely treatment. For this reason, any new, unusual or changing skin lesion should be assessed by a dermatology specialist.
Timeless Medic offers dermatological examinations, dermoscopic diagnostics and different methods for removing skin lesions. Depending on the type of lesion and the doctor’s findings, the patient may be advised to undergo an appropriate examination, additional diagnostics or a removal procedure.
A dermatological examination is recommended when you notice changes affecting the skin, hair, nails or visible mucous membranes, particularly when symptoms persist, recur or worsen over time.
The most common reasons for visiting a dermatologist include:
An examination is particularly important if a mole or another skin lesion changes in size, shape or colour, develops irregular borders, bleeds, itches, hurts or does not heal.
Basic Dermatological Examination
A basic dermatological examination is intended for the diagnosis of conditions affecting the skin, hair, nails, genital area and visible mucous membranes.
The examination is performed by a dermatology specialist and begins with a detailed discussion about the reason for the visit, the duration of symptoms, previous medical conditions and current treatments. This is followed by a clinical examination, diagnosis and a recommendation for appropriate therapy.
When necessary, the dermatologist may recommend additional laboratory tests, a skin biopsy or a follow-up examination.
Dermatological Examination with Dermoscopy
A dermatological examination with dermoscopy provides a more detailed assessment of moles, pigmented lesions and other skin changes using a special instrument called a dermoscope.
Dermoscopy is a non-invasive, painless and comfortable diagnostic method that allows the dermatologist to observe structures that cannot be seen with the naked eye. It is most commonly used to distinguish benign from potentially malignant lesions and to support the early detection of melanoma and other skin tumours.
It is particularly recommended for people with a large number of moles, atypical moles, a family history of skin cancer, significant sun damage or frequent exposure to UV radiation.
Surgical Mole Removal with Histopathological Analysis
Surgical removal may berecommended when the appearance of a mole, the dermoscopic findings or changes in its size, shape or colour require a more precise diagnosis.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and is therefore almost painless. The mole is removed completely, the wound is closed with sutures and the removed tissue is sent for histopathological analysis.
Histopathological analysis enables a detailed examination of the tissue and reliable identification of the nature of the removed lesion. Surgical removal therefore has both a therapeutic and an important diagnostic role.
Radiofrequency Removal of Up to 10 Lesions
Radiofrequency removal is a precise dermatological surgical method used for the removal of suitable benign skin lesions.
The procedure uses radiofrequency energy that acts directly on the treated tissue, while causing minimal damage to the surrounding skin, very little bleeding and a low risk of noticeable scarring.
Before the procedure, a local anaesthetic is applied in the form of a cream or injection. After removal, the doctor provides instructions for caring for the treated area and supporting proper healing.
Haemangiomas, commonly known as red moles, may be treated using radiofrequency or laser methods, including lasers such as the ND Yag, depending on the dermatologist’s assessment.
Not every skin lesion is suitable for the same removal method. Before deciding on a procedure, it is important for a dermatologist to examine the lesion and determine whether it requires monitoring, therapy, dermoscopy, surgical removal with histopathological analysis or radiofrequency treatment.
A professional assessment helps ensure that the selected method is safe and appropriate for the type, size and location of the lesion, as well as the patient’s overall health.
Regular dermatological examinations support the early detection of changes, timely treatment and the prevention of more serious skin conditions.
Whether you are visiting due to a specific concern, a mole check or the removal of a skin lesion, Timeless Medic provides professional assessment, clear recommendations and an individually tailored plan for the next steps.
Schedule a dermatological examination and give your skin the attention it deserves.
An examination is recommended when you notice changes affecting your skin, hair or nails, such as a rash, itching, redness, acne, hair loss, nail changes or new and changing moles.
A basic examination is used to diagnose different conditions affecting the skin, hair and nails. Dermoscopy is a more detailed examination of moles and other lesions using a dermoscope, which allows the doctor to see structures that are not visible to the naked eye.
A mole should be examined if it changes in size, shape or colour, develops irregular borders, bleeds, itches or becomes painful. The decision to remove it is made by the doctor following a clinical and, when necessary, dermoscopic examination.
Both procedures are performed under local anaesthesia, which means they are generally almost painless and well tolerated.
When you are unsure, the best first step is to schedule a dermatological examination. The doctor will assess the lesion and recommend a basic examination, dermoscopy, monitoring or the most appropriate removal method.
