Dermoscopy Examination
Clinical Overview

About the Procedure

Dermoscopy is a non-invasive, specialized diagnostic procedure employing cross-polarized magnification lighting to visualize morphological structures beneath the stratum corneum that are invisible to the naked eye. At Blush & Bloom, dermoscopy forms the cornerstone of every skin, hair, and nail assessment, allowing for precise differentiation of pigmented lesions, early melanoma detection, inflammatory dermatoses, and scalp trichology mapping.
