Non Invasive Skin Inspection -Scientific Evidence

Non Invasive Skin Inspection

We believe our world-class, painless, non-invasive approach ensures a better experience for our patients.

On numerous occasions, lesions involving no risk are removed even though they are categorised as benign in the histology report. The only diagnosis carried out is a biopsy after the lesion is excised.

This leads to huge costs in theatre charges, surgeons’ fees etc. for unnecessary procedures.

Removal of benign lesions incurs a considerably lower fee – and, of course, they don’t need to be removed at all.

We believe that patients can benefit from our non-invasive and painless diagnosis protocols.

At Skin Inspection’s examinations are carried out by specialists with expertise in skin cancer detection.

Digital Dermoscopy

Our technology includes a digital dermoscopy and total body-mapping capability, as well as the latest generation confocal microscope. This advanced machine, currently the most advanced in the UK, enables visualisation of the skin at a cellular level – like a virtual biopsy – without causing pain or scarring.

In other countries, insurance companies are covering confocal microscopy diagnosis because it provides an accurate and earlier diagnosis, which can prevent mortality.

Indeed, the results of the scientific research Scientific Research were recently used in the United States to ensure full private health insurance recognition to cover confocal microscopy (LOEs).  The table below shows In vivo publications related to the Technology that we offer at Skin Inspection:

Improved Diagnosis of Skin Lesions
