Skin Cancer Screening at AIVA Aesthetics in Berlin

Every medical check-up is valuable. With a comprehensive skin cancer screening at our private clinic in Berlin, you can find out whether your skin is healthy or if there are any sores, scabs, bumps or patches that need to be treated. Note that a thorough examination also includes the lips! People with very fair skin, lots of moles, freckles or other pigmentations as well as a family history of skin cancer should check early and regularly.

At AIVA, you can expect an experienced team of doctors with in-depth medical expertise and aesthetic know-how to ensure the best possible treatment for your individual issues.

TREATMENT

How to get tested for skin cancer at AIVA

Prior to the skin cancer screening, we will conduct an anamnesis interview at our premises in Berlin in order to take into account any previous medical conditions. We will take the time to answer any questions or concerns you may have. You can also point out any areas or specific skin changes that you may have noticed.

You will be asked to undress for the subsequent examination. Any conspicuous pigmentation spots will be examined in detail using a reflected light microscope (dermatoscope). We also use AI-assisted video dermatoscopy for precise diagnostics and to document the changes in your pigmentation marks. Images of all skin areas are taken at up to 50x magnification, stored and automatically used by the AI for comparison at the next screening. The software identifies even subtle changes in pigmentation and marks them for closer examination. This enables the detection and monitoring of suspicious spots over a period of several months or years in order to recognise early stages of skin cancer.

If our experts suspect that a spot is malignant, the lesion will be examined more closely or it will be removed by means of outpatient surgery, followed by a pathological examination. The results and any necessary treatment will be discussed in detail with you.

After the appointment, we will continue to be available for all aftercare issues.
CUSTOMER REVIEWS

‘5 out of 5! Very nice rooms and very friendly staff. I had a skin screening in the context of cancer prevention and felt very well advised and looked after. I particularly liked being able to choose between a male and a female specialist for the examination. I've never had that before. The independent cosmetic treatment was also very good. The next treatment has already been booked. I can only recommend AIVA!’ – Melanie Rohrer – Source: Google reviews (translated)

‘Professionalism and expertise. A fantastic facility and well-trained, conscientious medical staff. More than an hour's examination in dermatology, which revealed problems that neither my dermatologist nor the Charité had recognised. This says a lot about how much public health care is like Russian roulette where you hope to find good doctors. Recommended!’ – Fabio Nigro – Source: Google reviews (translated)

‘Super friendly staff, the doctor (dermatologist) is very nice and answers every question. I feel I'm in good hands there and will continue my treatments there.’ – Ilona Hofmann – Source: Google reviews (translated)

Why Skin Cancer Screening is Essential

As the body's largest organ, your skin is exposed to high levels of stress every day, especially UV radiation. The sun is healthy – sunburn is not. Despite the use of sunscreen with a high sun protection factor (SPF), there can still be dangerous reddening of the skin. People who have had several sunburns during childhood and adolescence are particularly at risk of developing melanoma or carcinoma and should not wait until the age of 35 – as is often recommended – to undergo regular skin cancer screening. At AIVA in Berlin, our primary goal is to protect your health. Prior to the screening, we take a detailed medical history to find out about any illnesses in your family and to better assess your skin condition. Known risk factors for skin cancer include:

a very light skin type
being too careless with UV radiation
regular use of sunbeds
a high number of moles

The good news is that, in most cases, regular skin checks can detect any malignant skin changes at an early or preliminary stage, and the affected tissue can be removed without major consequences. This is why annual skin cancer screening at AIVA in Berlin should ideally become routine.

FAQ About Skin Cancer Screening at AIVA in Berlin

When should I have my skin checked by a specialist?
Basically, you should always keep an eye on your skin yourself – if you notice any changes, they should be examined by a dermatologist. You can use the ABCDE rule as a guide:
- Asymmetry: Moles are neither round nor oval.
- Boundary: The edges are frayed or blurred.
- Colouring: The pigmented mole contains several shades of colour.
- Diameter: The mole is wider than 5 millimetres.
- Evolution: The pigmented mole changes colour.
Which diagnostic methods are used for the screening at AIVA?

In addition to microscope-based skin cancer screening, we also use AI-assisted video dermatoscopy in our Berlin practice. To do this, we use FotoFinder technology, which records the entire surface of your skin (‘total body mapping’) and precisely examines individual moles with the help of reflected light video microscopy. This is all done in a matter of seconds and is, of course, completely painless. Conspicuous areas of skin are magnified by the camera and photographed several times. The images are stored for documentation and analysis and compared using AI. With regular examinations, any changes to your skin are detected quickly and can be treated at an early stage if necessary. This state-of-the-art procedure and regular screening will give you greater peace of mind.
What happens after a skin cancer screening at AIVA?

After the examination, we will prepare a report on the pigment spots and discuss it with you. If suspicious pigmentation marks need to be removed, we offer outpatient surgery with the aim of achieving a satisfactory aesthetic result to the highest quality standards.
How often should I have a skin cancer screening?

People who have more than 50 moles, who have had many sunburns or who have a family history of skin cancer should come to our institute in Berlin once a year for a skin cancer screening.
How long does the examination take?

The examination with FotoFinder technology takes about 30 minutes, depending on how many lesions are found on your skin. If any pigment spots need to be removed, the outpatient procedure takes about 15 to 20 minutes.
How much does a skin cancer screening cost at AIVA in Berlin?

The exact price of the examination depends on how many moles, pigmentation spots etc. you have, but a full body skin check starts at €149. The cost of outpatient surgery to remove any malignant skin alterations starts at €200.
