When it comes to signs, the most important thing is not to wait

Moles can change gradually. Sometimes it’s just a normal change, but other times your skin needs to be examined by a professional. That’s exactly why it makes sense to have your moles checked even when you’re not experiencing any pain or itching and don’t feel like anything is wrong.

A dermatoscopic examination helps the doctor see the structures of a mole that are not clearly visible to the naked eye. Early screening can detect suspicious changes before the problem progresses further.

Having your moles checked doesn't have to be stressful. At BeautyLab, the process is calm and sensitive, and you'll receive expert explanations right during the exam. Dr. Javor will tell you what he sees, what's normal, and whether anything needs to be monitored further.

The goal is not to cause concern, but to give you clear answers and a sense of certainty.

What is dermatoscopy, and why isn't it enough to monitor moles at home?

Dermatoscopy is a specialized examination of moles using a dermatoscope, a special device that magnifies and illuminates skin lesions so that the doctor can see more than is visible to the naked eye.

With a dermatoscope, a dermatologist can better assess the color, shape, texture, and other characteristics of a mole or skin growth. Based on this, they will tell you whether the mole appears benign, whether it needs to be monitored, or whether they recommend further action.

Self-examination is important. It’s a good idea to look for changes in your skin, such as new moles, itching, bleeding, or changes in shape. However, neither a photo on your phone nor a glance in the mirror can replace a professional examination with a dermatoscope.

Professional examination of moles and skin lesions using a dermatoscope. Dr. Javor will examine any moles that concern you, as well as those you may not even notice yourself. During the examination, he will explain what he sees and advise you whether everything is normal, or whether the mole should be monitored or treated further.

We recommend having your moles checked regularly, ideally once a year. This is especially important if you have fair skin, have many moles, are frequently exposed to the sun, or have a family history of skin cancer.
