ELION CARE

Its role in Elion programs

In Spot Clear, dermoscopy and clinical examination help us assess moles and pigmented lesions, determine which areas may be treated and identify areas needing further tests.

How it works

Light and magnification reveal pigment and blood vessel patterns that are difficult to see with the naked eye.

How we use it

It supports assessment of color changes around scars and lesions that resemble scars.

Other concerns we assess

It helps assess moles and pigmented lesions and determine whether further testing or a biopsy is needed.

Before your treatment

  • Clinical examination and further tests may be needed to establish a diagnosis and assess whether a lesion is malignant.
  • A lesion that grows quickly, changes color or shape, or bleeds should be diagnosed before treatment.
