Technical description
A preventive skin check is intended to detect potential problems at an early stage, but if you experience symptoms or notice unusual changes, you should always contact your general practitioner.
This skin check not only gives you insight into possible problems but also helps you keep your skin healthier. For more information about preventive medical examinations, Prescan recommends consulting the following independent sources:
For skin abnormalities that cause symptoms, we advise you to contact your GP. Prescan focuses on preventive skin checks and is not intended for investigating existing complaints.
Possible alternatives include: Self-examination: regular self-inspection of the skin, especially moles and suspicious spots, as a supplement to professional checks. Skin scans with advanced technologies such as UV or infrared scans, which can examine deeper skin layers to detect hidden damage or issues.
At Prescan, the dermatological examination is performed using the FotoFinder Vexia, a system used for imaging the skin. The examination begins with a visual inspection, during which the dermatologist maps out any skin conditions using video dermoscopy.
The device is equipped with a camera that captures high-resolution images, both on a macro and microscopic level. These images are used to analyse any skin conditions. The camera can operate with or without skin contact and provides both polarised and non-polarised images, offering greater insight into vascular structures and skin patterns.
