Our main aim is the early detection of skin cancer. Using a special skin microscope and a process known as dermoscopy, we are able to see the skin surface and the deeper elements in the skin, thereby helping us to assess a suspicious mole or skin lesion. Dermoscopy increases the likelihood of detecting early melanomas.

The second aim is to increase specifity. Dermoscopy can achieve specificity of 85% and helps to prevent unnecessary removal of moles and skin lesions which turn out to be non-cancerous.
