In our latest news, we reported that Dermatologists expect an increase in skin cancer due to climate change and how important good sun protection and skin cancer prevention are are. Protecting the skin from the sun's rays is still underestimated; sun protection must become a routine for everyone. Summer – as well as winter!

The earlier skin cancer is detected, the better the chances of recovery. Regular self-examination of the skin and moles to detect changes is essential (ABCDE rule). If any abnormalities occur, contact your trusted Dermatologist immediately to have the changes clarified. Have a mole check or skin cancer screening performed by a dermatologist once a year. If Skin cancer detected early, it can be treated effectively with an appropriate therapy.

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
  • non-melanoma skin cancer (white skin cancer):This includes basal cell carcinoma, actinic keratoses and squamous cell carcinoma.

At JUVENIS, experienced dermatologists examine changes in the skin using dermatoscopy (dermoscope) to rule out abnormalities. If skin changes occur, these are examined histologically in a dermatohistopathological specialist laboratory. The finding is the basis for further treatment options, which are discussed together with the patient.

Different treatment options are available for skin cancer. Dermatologic surgery is one of JUVENIS's focal points and, depending on the diagnosis, can also be performed on an outpatient basis in-house at JUVENIS.

Superficial tumors, such as actinic keratoses (precursors of white skin cancer), Bowen disease and superficial basal cell carcinomas (white skin cancer), are treated at JUVENIS using various therapy methods. These include ointment therapy, cryotherapy, dermatologic surgery or photodynamic therapy (PDT). This gentle form of therapy specifically destroys tumor cells while sparing the surrounding healthy tissue. At the same time, it is low-pain, provides very beautiful cosmetic results, and also scores with proven long-term efficacy.

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

We pay special attention to state-of-the-art surgical and suturing techniques and also provide you with the best possible aesthetic result.
