Stop Cancer Before It Starts

When you find a weird spot on your skin, it’s easy to assume the worst. Instead of panicking, schedule a skin cancer screening at Total Skin Dermatology and Aesthetics!

Our team has years of combined dermatological experience, and we can diagnose any cancerous growths and help you take the first steps towards recovery and a long, healthy life.

What to Expect From Skin Cancer Screenings

1

Step 1: Scheduling

Before your appointment, make a note of any changes to your skin and any spots or growths that concern you. This will help your provider address all your concerns during your appointment.

2

Step 2: Screening

We will provide you with a medical gown to wear during your skin cancer screening. Your provider will look over your body for any signs of skin cancer or precancerous growths.

3

Step 3: Next Steps

If your provider sees any suspicious lesions or growths, we may recommend a biopsy to remove some of the tissue for skin cancer testing. In many cases, we can perform the biopsy right then and there!

Our Approach at Total Skin

If you have a biopsy, your provider will tell you how to care for the wound and when to expect your results. Based on your biopsy results, we can give you follow-up instructions and advise you on next steps for treatment.

What Skin Cancer Screenings Look For

To the untrained eye, a precancerous spot may look completely normal. During your skin cancer screening at Total Skin, your provider will look for signs of the following:

  • Actinic keratoses

  • Basal cell carcinoma

  • Squamous cell carcinoma

  • Melanoma

  • Other precancerous signs or growths

Did you know…

Basal and squamous cell carcinomas have a 95% cure rate when caught and treated early!

    My favorite place for pampering! Love Whitney for laser services and Sarah for injectables. 47 years old and I’m looking and feeling better than I have in years. Just had a fantastic facial from Seaira for my birthday. The membership program is such a great deal; so many perks!

    Janessa H

    Total Skin changed my life. I lived a confused, sad life with acne rosacea. Dr. Laframboise took one look at me and knew the cures for my skin problems. THANK you for the best 6 months I’ve had in forever. I feel comfortable with no makeup and I no longer look for the place in a room that doesn’t have harsh bright light to shine on the bumps on my cheeks. Now I’m bump free!

    Julia M

    I’m so glad I found Whitney and followed her to Total Skin! I’m 67 and I work as a flight attendant. I’m also not into needles. Many of my coworkers do Botox and fillers, but I can’t do it. Whitney had recommendations that have improved my skin while keeping within my budget and my crazy work schedule. I constantly get compliments on my skin from both my coworkers and my passengers. Thank you Whitney and Total Skin!

    Kirsten K

    Total Skin is everything you want in a dermatology clinic! Jen and her staff are phenomenal at what they do. I never feel pressured to purchase items or services like I had been at previous skin/esthetic clinics. They take the extra time to explain the different procedures and which ones would be best for my situation. I am so happy with my results! I highly recommend Total Skin!!
