Skin Check & Mole Examination in Zurich

At Dermanence, we place great importance on a holistic dermatological treatment to optimally care for your most important organ – the skin. Our professional skincare goes hand in hand with the precise detection of possible skin changes. A skin check for moles for early detection of skin cancer includes not only the superficial examination of individual moles but also a detailed assessment of the entire skin.

Our experienced dermatologists use modern technologies such as high-resolution dermatoscopes and digital imaging to detect even the smallest changes or noticeable structures. In this way, we can accurately document moles and other skin changes and monitor them over time. If a suspicious area is found during the mole examination by the dermatologist, a biopsy may be performed, where a small tissue sample is taken, depending on the findings. This allows for a precise histological examination to exclude malignant changes at an early stage or to initiate targeted treatment.

What are moles actually?

What are moles and how do they form

Moles, also known as liver spots or pigmented nevi, are flat or raised skin changes that occur due to a collection of pigment-producing cells (melanocytes). They can be present at birth or develop over the course of life. The most important influencing factors include genetic predisposition, UV radiation, and hormonal changes (e.g., during puberty or pregnancy).

People with many moles or those with a family history are particularly at risk. A skin check for people with many moles is especially important here to detect skin cancer – such as melanoma – as early as possible. Our mole check for risk groups is carried out at individually adapted time intervals to ensure close monitoring.

If a suspicious finding does occur as part of the skin cancer screening and mole check, we will support you from the first suspicion to therapy. As dermatologists, we are always there for you and ensure competent, empathetic care with our many years of experience and the most modern treatment methods. Whether surgical intervention or alternative therapy methods – our top priority is to maintain your skin health and give you security and confidence at all times.

A regular skin check also makes a significant contribution to professional skin cancer prevention. By having changes in your moles checked in a timely manner, you significantly increase your chances of successful treatment in the event of skin cancer. Our team is at your side with advice and support to jointly develop a tailored prevention plan for you.

Everything about mole examination

What is a skin check?

A skin check is a comprehensive examination of the entire skin surface, during which your dermatologist carefully examines all visible areas of the skin. Moles, pigment spots, noticeable skin areas, or other changes are precisely inspected and documented. Modern examination methods such as dermoscopy (observation using special magnification) make it possible to recognize even fine structures. In this way, risk areas can be identified early and, if necessary, further investigated.
