What to Expect: A Step by Step Guide

  1. A trained professional will provide a brief overview of the session
  2. You will be led to a private area to disrobe
  3. You will be slowly guided through the poses to ensure that your skin is imaged at a comfortable pace
  4. The information will be securely recorded in the system for your doctor to take the necessary next steps
  5. If a doctor finds a suspicious mole, they may take a magnified image of your skin with a tool called a dermoscope to review the mole in greater detail

 

What’s Next?

Check your skin! Perform a self-exam every one to three months to help you get to know your moles and notice any potential changes over time. Your doctor may provide you with secure access to your data via the patient app as a way to keep you informed of your skin health plan.
