Videodermatoskopia

Modern technology for diagnosing and monitoring skin moles.

Videodermoscopy

A videodermatoscope is a precise device that enables comprehensive examination of the skin surface and computer analysis and digital documentation of skin lesions. By using an epiluminescence microscope and specialized software, it is possible to effectively monitor skin lesions over time, with particular attention to atypical lesions. The specialist can compare the examined skin lesions with archival photos preserved in the patient’s medical records.

The videodermatoscope allows early detection of melanoma and precancerous lesions. Diagnosing skin lesions in their initial development phase and monitoring changes in color, size, and structure is the most effective method to eliminate the risk of malignant transformation.

Which Lesions Are Examined Using Videodermoscopy?

Only 30-40% of melanoma cases develop from pre-existing pigmented moles. Preventive care for skin lesions should address both existing and newly formed lesions. If a change in size or color is observed in existing moles or a new lesion appears on the skin, a specialist should be consulted for a videodermatoscopic skin examination.

Atypical pigmented lesions most commonly appear:

  • on the back, chest, calves, head, and neck
  • but can also appear anywhere on the skin

Advantages of Videodermatoscopic Examination

Videodermatoscopic examination allows for:

  • quick and precise diagnosis of suspicious dysplastic and malignant moles
  • limiting the number of skin lesions excised only to those truly at risk of malignant transformation
  • detecting and diagnosing new skin lesions
  • accurate monitoring of changes occurring in skin moles
  • digital documentation of moles and treatment stages

Methods of Treating Lesions at Risk of Malignant Transformation

If there is suspicion regarding the nature of a mole, the safest treatment method is surgical removal and histopathological examination to verify whether the excised mole contained cancer cells. Preventive removal of moles carries no risk of malignant transformation.

The surgical procedure to remove a mole is painless, performed under local anesthesia, and involves excising the lesion along with a fragment of healthy skin using a scalpel. Sutures are then applied and removed after 7–14 days. The experience of surgeons in aesthetic surgery contributes to the use of appropriate skin suturing techniques after lesion removal, resulting in minimally visible scars.

FAQ

What is bodyscan?
The “BODYSCAN” service involves taking photographs of the entire body surface and digitally recording images of skin lesions present on the patient’s body. Photos are taken in two stages: - basic photos: taken in overview mode - control photos: taken for comparison with the basic photos New moles and changes in existing ones are automatically detected and subjected to computer analysis using specialized algorithms and diagnosed by a specialist. The data is archived and compared with data obtained during subsequent periodic examinations.
What is melanoma?
Melanoma is the most dangerous type of skin cancer, a disease characterized by uncontrolled growth of pigment cells. Melanoma is characterized by a high rate of metastasis through lymphatic pathways and blood vessels. It is the most rapidly spreading type of skin cancer worldwide.
Who is at risk of developing melanoma?
Anyone can develop melanoma, but those particularly at risk are people: with fair skin complexion, with blue or green eyes, with blond or red hair, who tan easily, who spend a lot of time in places exposed to sunlight, with a large number of pigmented lesions or atypical lesions, with immune system disorders, who have a family history of skin cancer, who have had dangerous skin lesions or cancer cells removed from other parts of the body.
Is it possible to reduce the risk of developing the disease?
Factors that reduce the risk of developing the disease include: regular skin surface examinations, regular /twice a year/ follow-up videodermatoscopic examinations in case of new moles appearing or changes observed in existing moles, use of protective measures against excessive sun exposure /sunscreen creams, covering exposed body parts/, avoiding tanning beds.
Can melanoma be cured?
The most effective method of treating melanoma is the surgical removal of the mole at an early stage of tumor development. This means that early detection and diagnosis of the skin lesion are crucial. Melanoma initially develops on the surface of the skin, but its cells quickly attack other structures and spread towards the lymph nodes and other organs. Treatment with other methods, such as radiotherapy or chemotherapy, is used as a complementary therapy.
