A visit to Benson Dermatology includes detailed attention that covers far more than quick visual inspection.
Complete Skin Mapping: Every mole is documented with high-resolution imagery that helps track even the smallest changes over time.
Dermatoscope Technology: Magnified polarized light gives our dermatologists a clear view beneath the surface, revealing patterns invisible to the naked eye.
Expert Evaluation: Board-certified professionals assess shape, symmetry, border definition, pigment consistency, and diameter against medical guidelines.
Patient Education: Simple explanations teach clients how to perform monthly self-checks at home, identify warning signs, and choose protective clothing and sunscreens.
