The ideal frequency of check-ups depends on your personal history, skin type, and risk factors. I will provide you with a personalized recommendation and a follow-up schedule during your consultation.
Is there any special preparation needed before my appointment?
Ideally, you should come without makeup, nail polish, or body creams on the areas to be examined so that I can properly evaluate your skin. I also ask that you observe any changes in your moles or spots that concern you.
