Skin Cancer Screening with Fotofinder AI Full-Body Scanner at a Glance
Who especially benefits from skin cancer screening with the Fotofinder AI Full-Body Scanner?
Skin cancer can affect anyone. However, certain groups benefit particularly from close monitoring:

- People with very fair skin who burn easily
- Those with frequent sunburns during childhood or adolescence
- People who spend a lot of time outdoors (e.g., athletes, construction workers, gardeners)
- Families with a history of skin cancer
- Anyone who has noticed a suspicious skin change: a new mole, or a change in shape, color, or size
- You have already had skin cancer (e.g., melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma)
- Scars or previous surgical sites require regular follow-up
- You are at increased risk for developing new skin changes
What happens during skin cancer screening with the Fotofinder AI Full-Body Scanner?
What is skin cancer?
Skin cancer is one of the most common cancers. It often appears subtly – as a new spot, a changing mole, or a non-healing skin lesion. Particularly insidious: more than two-thirds of melanomas (malignant skin cancer) develop on previously healthy skin, not within existing moles.
How does the examination work?
-
With the Fotofinder AI Full-Body Scanner, your entire skin is captured in just minutes, creating a “map” of your skin.
-
All images are stored in your personal skin archive.
-
At each follow-up, the system compares new images with old ones, detecting even the smallest changes.
-
Suspicious moles are further analyzed with dermatoscopy under strong magnification, which we evaluate on screen and discuss with you.
What if something looks suspicious?
If a mole or skin lesion appears concerning, we can immediately perform a small tissue sample (biopsy) or remove the lesion entirely in our in-house surgical suite. The sample is analyzed in the lab, with results usually available within a few days.
