Skin cancer is among the most common tumour diseases and thus poses a risk to the largest organ, the skin. The skin has to withstand high levels of stress caused by sun exposure and increasingly aggressive environmental influences. The proof of this can be seen in the steadily rising number of UV-induced skin changes and the associated appointments with dermatologists. In our private dermatology practice in Hamburg, we counter this trend with a modern, AI-supported skin cancer screening that combines our medical expertise with innovative technology.
For the examination, we use the FotoFinder ATBM system (“Automated Total Body Mapping”), which documents your entire skin surface and reliably detects changes with the help of artificial intelligence.¹ In addition, our specialist dermatologists perform dermatoscopy with a dermatoscope to assess conspicuous moles in detail.
Book your skin cancer screening appointment in Hamburg online or by phone and experience the benefits of modern diagnostics and greater peace of mind.
At the beginning of the examination, we first use the FotoFinder system to create full-body images from four perspectives. Thanks to the software that stitches the images together, this results in a complete map of your skin. This not only serves as the basis for the initial diagnosis, but also allows the system to perform direct comparisons during follow-up examinations and with new images.
Important for you: Artificial intelligence serves exclusively as a support tool and increases diagnostic safety. The final assessment of your skin findings and the subsequent treatment recommendations are always made by our specialist dermatologists.
As a general rule, the earlier skin cancer is detected, the better the chances of recovery. It is therefore less about a fixed age limit – even though the general risk of skin cancer increases with age and statutory health insurers in Germany set the first screening at the age of 35 – and more about which individuals belong to a higher-risk group and should therefore undergo more frequent dermatological examinations.
These include:
Arrange a consultation appointment in our practice – also for your children – and together we will define a suitable and safe examination interval.
An additional tool you can use at home is the ABCDE rule, which helps you to check your moles regularly.
If a mole shows one or more of the following characteristics, it should be examined by a specialist dermatologist:
Irregular or asymmetrical shape
Blurred or irregular edges
Uneven distribution of colour within a mole
Larger than approximately five millimetres
Changes in shape, size or colour
Our modern skin cancer screening for our patients in Hamburg combines the strengths of two worlds: medical experience and innovative technology. This allows you to benefit from a screening approach that documents the development and progression of pigment changes, while continuing to identify existing skin problems – precisely, safely and based on scientific evidence.
By combining the FotoFinder ATBM system, AI-supported analysis and classical dermatoscopy, we offer you a diagnostic system that makes even the smallest changes visible, while you continue to have us as your trusted points of contact.
Schedule your skin cancer screening appointment in Hamburg to support your long-term skin health and enjoy the reassuring feeling of being optimally protected.
