Горизонти » Dermatology » Digital Dermoscopy with Chronology Digital Dermoscopy with Chronology Digital dermoscopy with chronology is a diagnostic method for skin lesions that helps detect even the smallest changes at an early stage. The technology involves detailed photography of skin areas with moles and storing the images in the patient’s medical database. During follow-up examinations, the dermatologist compares the current condition with previous images, ensuring early diagnosis of skin diseases. Book an appointment Service Description At Horizons Medical Center, digital dermoscopy is performed using state-of-the-art equipment that provides up to 200x magnification and exceptional image quality. A dermatologist examines the structure of skin lesions, vascular patterns, pigmentation, and other parameters invisible to the naked eye. All data is stored in the patient’s electronic medical record, allowing for the creation of an individual timeline of skin changes. This approach eliminates subjectivity and makes it possible to monitor even slow-developing processes. Skin examination using a dermatoscope helps detect malignant conditions (including melanoma) and ensures highly effective diagnosis of even the smallest changes. Mole screening and consultation with a dermatologist at Horizons Medical Center in Lviv help identify the slightest skin changes. All skin lesions can be examined during a single visit.

Yes, dermoscopic examination of skin lesions (papillomas, moles, warts) is completely safe and can be used at any age. How often should the examination be performed? If risk factors are present, skin lesion diagnostics should be performed every 6–12 months or as recommended by a dermatologist. However, modern dermatology generally recommends an annual examination. Can digital dermoscopy be replaced with a regular examination? A standard visual examination is less informative and does not allow changes to be tracked with pixel-level precision. Digital dermoscopy in Lviv makes it possible to detect changes in time, including signs of skin cancer.
