Skin cancer

Con­spi­cuous moles and pig­ment chan­ges are iden­ti­fied using der­ma­to­sco­py, digi­tal fol­low-up and a tho­rough spe­cia­list examination. 

White skin can­cer main­ly com­pri­ses two types of tumor: basal cell car­ci­no­ma and squa­mous cell carcinoma. 

Acti­nic kera­to­ses are rough, sca­ly patches cau­sed by chro­nic sun dama­ge and are con­side­red a pre­cur­sor of non-mela­n­o­ma skin can­cer. Detec­ted ear­ly, they can be trea­ted gent­ly and mini­mal­ly invasively. 

Swiss Der­ma Cli­nic has its own cer­ti­fied ope­ra­ting theat­re for the sur­gi­cal rem­oval of mali­gnant skin tumours. It also has an array of sta­te-of-the-art tech­ni­ques – inclu­ding laser, PDT and cryo­sur­gery – for the gent­le tre­at­ment of pre­can­ce­rous skin lesi­ons. We deli­ver sin­gle-source care all the way from dia­gno­sis to the­ra­py and aftercare. 

Swiss Der­ma Cli­nic uses the very latest tech­ni­ques for the sur­gi­cal rem­oval of tumours and skin chan­ges as well as to tre­at skin cancer. 

Dry­ness, ble­mis­hes, pig­men­ta­ti­on or ear­ly signs of age­ing: a der­ma­to­lo­gi­cal skin ana­ly­sis puts what is visi­ble into con­text. At Swiss Der­ma Cli­nic, every skin tre­at­ment beg­ins with an analysis. 

The skin is a means of com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on, pro­tec­tion, and a bar­ri­er. Cove­ring around 1.8 squa­re meters, it is our lar­gest organ – and tru­ly a heavyweight. 

Swiss Der­ma Clinic’s pre­ven­ti­on pro­gram­me enables mali­gnant lesi­ons to be spot­ted in the ear­ly stages – when the chan­ces of clea­ring it up are the highest. 

Fibrom­as, also known as skin tags, are benign growths on the neck, under­arms or eyelids. As they can be bother­so­me, cha­fe or beco­me infla­med, we remo­ve them gent­ly on an out­pa­ti­ent basis. 

Rough, sca­ly or red­den­ed patches of skin can indi­ca­te a pre­can­ce­rous lesi­on. In most cases, the­se are acti­nic kera­to­ses, which we exami­ne and tre­at in a tar­ge­ted way.
