Preventive screening
for skin cancer

Preventive screening with a dermatologist is crucial for the early detection of skin cancers, such as melanoma, which can spread rapidly and become serious if not treated in time. By identifying skin abnormalities in their earliest stages, the dermatologist can recommend rapid and appropriate interventions, increasing the chances of a complete cure. In addition, regular consultations enable skin changes to be monitored, ensuring proactive prevention and optimal skin health.
