Mole check (dermatoscopy)

Why it matters

The incidence of skin cancer has risen considerably in recent years. The most dangerous form is malignant melanoma, which is why we recommend a regular dermatoscopic examination of moles at least once a year.

At the Fabjan dermatology centre we examine all your moles and, where needed, take action straight away.

In Ljubljana and Celje moles are examined by a dermatologist with a dermatoscope; in Maribor (Medicinski center Premediko, Ljubljanska ulica 9, 3rd floor) the mole check is carried out by Dr Matic Fabjan, specialist in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery.

Professional care for the health and appearance of the skin

At our dermatology centre we pay particular attention to early detection, accurate diagnosis and careful removal of skin changes. We perform a dermatoscopic examination of moles, in which we carefully assess the risks and choose the most suitable method of removal or treatment.

Removal of skin changes

We remove various skin lesions – from pigmented and non-pigmented moles to atheromas, lipomas and cysts. Depending on the type of change, we choose the most suitable approach:

• laser removal with a Fotona laser for precise, minimally invasive treatment,
• surgical excision for deeper, bothersome or suspicious changes,
• histological examination of the removed tissue to confirm the diagnosis and rule out precancerous changes.
