Skin cancer is one of the diseases with the highest chances of recovery. The prerequisite for this is early detection. Regular self-examination of the skin and moles is recommended to detect any changes. If you notice any abnormalities, contact your trusted dermatologist immediately to have the changes clarified. You should see a dermatologist once a year for a mole check or skin cancer screening. If skin cancer is detected early, it can be treated effectively with the appropriate therapy.

How is a birthmark check carried out at JUVENIS?

During a birthmark check or skin cancer screening at JUVENIS, the nevi are examined in detail using a reflected light microscope. JUVENIS uses the most modern method currently available for screening: digital reflected light microscopy. The FotoFinder dermoscope is a device that can take digital images of moles in high resolution and detail. This allows the moles to be viewed in detail and also observed, as changes can be documented during a subsequent examination.

How is skin cancer treated?

There are 2 types of skin cancer:

  • malignant melanoma: the most dangerous type of skin cancer, which originates from the pigment-producing cells of the skin
  • White skin cancer: This includes basal cell cancer, actinic keratoses and prickle cell cancer.

At JUVENIS, various forms of treatment are available for skin cancer: Dermatosurgery is one of the main focuses of JUVENIS and, depending on the diagnosis, can even be performed in-house at JUVENIS on an outpatient basis.

Superficial tumors such as actinic keratoses (precursors of white skin cancer), Bowen's disease and superficial basal cell carcinomas (white skin cancer) are treated at JUVENIS using various forms of therapy. These include ointment therapy, cryotherapy, dermatosurgery or photodynamic therapy (PDT). This gentle form of therapy specifically destroys the tumor cells while sparing the healthy surrounding tissue. At the same time, it is painless, delivers very attractive cosmetic results and also scores points for its proven long-term effectiveness.

Our surgical spectrum includes all benign and malignant skin changes, such as melanoma (black skin cancer), spinocellular carcinoma (spiny cell carcinoma), basal cell carcinoma (basal cell carcinoma), actinic keratosis, atypical/dysplastic nevus (conspicuous birthmark) or other rare malignant skin tumors (e.g. fibrosarcoma, Merkel cell carcinoma).

We pay particular attention to the latest surgical and suturing techniques and provide you with the best possible aesthetic result.
