OptimaScan Now Available at SkinScope by Village Health

(As seen on TV)

Your skin deserves a closer look — and now, Village Health’s SkinScope Clinic is offering advanced OptimaScan Total Body Photography for comprehensive mole mapping and skin cancer surveillance.

OptimaScan is the latest generation of full-body skin imaging technology. In just a few minutes, the system captures high-resolution images of your skin surface to create a detailed digital body map that can be compared over time. Combined with expert dermoscopy and skin cancer assessment by our experienced doctors, this allows earlier detection of new or changing spots.

The optima scan allows a full body image to be taken using scanning devices followed by AI analysis to achieve a faster and more accurate mapping of your skin lesions. This allows the dermoscopist to focus on the most important spots and make accurate records. Changes can be monitored more easily over years.

Who Should Consider an OptimaScan?

An OptimaScan may be particularly helpful if you:

• Have lots of moles or freckles

• Have had melanoma or skin cancer before

• Have a family history of melanoma

• Notice new, changing, or unusual spots

• Have fair skin or burn easily

• Spend lots of time outdoors for work or recreation

• Have previously had significant sun exposure or sunburns

• Are on immunosuppressant medications or have had an organ transplant

• Want a detailed baseline record of your skin for future monitoring

Regular monitoring can help detect subtle changes much earlier, often before they are obvious to the naked eye. Early detection remains one of the most important factors in successful skin cancer treatment.

What Happens During the Scan?

Your appointment includes:

• Full-body photography using OptimaScan technology

• Dermatoscope assessment of suspicious spots

• Advanced digital mole mapping and documentation

• Expert review by specially trained skin cancer doctors

• Ongoing surveillance and comparison over time

The scan itself is quick and non-invasive, and your images are securely stored for future comparison and follow-up.
