When it comes to skin cancer, early detection isn’t just helpful—it’s lifesaving. A quick annual screening could be the reason you catch something early, avoid more invasive treatment, and keep your skin (and health) in the clear. At Regenerative Aesthetics and Dermatology in Laguna Hills, CA, we specialize in comprehensive skin cancer screenings designed to spot concerns before they become problems.
During your screening, our board-certified dermatology team performs a full-body skin exam, checking for moles, lesions, or spots that may show signs of melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or other skin conditions. We’ll also educate you on what to watch for at home and help you stay proactive with prevention strategies that go beyond just sunscreen.
Whether you’ve never had a skin check, have a family history of skin cancer, or just noticed a mole that’s looking a little… suspicious, we’re here to provide expert care in a calm, judgment-free space. We’ve got the training, the tech, and the good lighting—so let’s check your spots, shall we?
Because skin cancer is the most common cancer in the U.S., but also one of the most treatable when caught early. A quick exam could detect something you’d never notice on your own—especially in areas like your scalp, back, or behind the ears.
You’ll be given a gown, and we’ll perform a head-to-toe visual exam using dermatoscopes (special magnifiers with light) to evaluate moles, freckles, and any other lesions. If something looks suspicious, we’ll explain next steps—sometimes a biopsy, sometimes just a note to monitor. It’s quick, painless, and over before you know it.
A full-body skin cancer screening typically takes 15 to 20 minutes, depending on how many spots we need to evaluate. If a biopsy is needed, that may add a little time, but we’ll walk you through every step with zero pressure.
We use the ABCDEs of melanoma:
Also, watch for non-healing sores, bleeding or crusting spots, or anything that suddenly looks different. When in doubt—let us check it out.
If you’re at higher risk (fair skin, family history, lots of moles, history of sunburns or tanning), we recommend annual screenings—sometimes more often if you’ve had skin cancer before. If you’re not sure where you fall on the risk scale, we can help assess that, too.
Try to come with clean, makeup-free skin (especially on your face and nails), and avoid wearing nail polish or fake tanner. Make a mental note (or list) of any new, changing, or bothersome spots so we can take a closer look. Most importantly—don’t be nervous. We’re here to help, not to judge your tan lines.
Your skin tells a story—let’s make sure it’s a healthy one. Book your skin cancer screening at Regenerative Aesthetics and Dermatology in Laguna Hills, CA today and take the simplest step toward protecting your skin and your health.
