What to Expect at Your Skin Check

Full Body Skin Check: You’ll be given a gown to change into for your privacy and comfort. Your provider will examine your skin from head to toe, including the scalp, back, & soles of your feet.

Spot Checks
If any moles or spots need closer evaluation, your provider may use a special skin microscope. No discomfort - just a closer look.

Biopsy (If Needed)
If something looks concerning, a quick, simple skin biopsy may be done. This takes just a few minutes, and you’ll be numbed beforehand. We will call you with the results in approximately 7-14 days. We will call you whether the spot needs attention or no further treatment is needed.

Q&A and Treatment Plan
After your skin check, you’ll have time to ask questions, and your provider will explain any follow-up steps or treatments.
