What is Dermoscopy?

Dermoscopy is a skin imaging technique that uses a handheld device called a dermatoscope to magnify and illuminate the skin. This allows the doctor to see the skin in more detail, which can help identify skin conditions that may not be visible to the naked eye.

Dermoscopy is a safe and painless procedure that takes only a few minutes. It can be used on all skin types and is especially helpful for identifying skin cancer, as well as other skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and acne.

How is Dermoscopy Used in Laser and IPL Treatments?

Dermoscopy can be used before, during, and after laser and IPL treatments to help identify skin conditions and track their progress.

• Before treatment: Dermoscopy can help identify any skin conditions that may need to be treated prior to laser or IPL treatment. This can help ensure that the treatment is safe and effective.
• During treatment: Dermoscopy can be used to monitor the skin's response to laser or IPL treatment. This can help the doctor adjust the treatment parameters to achieve the best results.
