Features of the device
The Illuco IDS 1100 Dermatoscope is not a novelty on the cosmetology market. This is a device, the effectiveness of which is confirmed by appropriate certificates and recommendations of specialists.
Illuco IDS 1100 has the following features:
- cross and forward polarization for better visualization of structures;
- magnify the image tenfold;
- measurement of age spots during examination;
- three backlight modes and the ability to control the brightness level;
- small size, allowing you to carefully examine even hidden areas – the interdigital space, scalp, which is difficult to see during normal examination due to the hairline;
- the ability to connect to a mobile phone and record an image.
The last point is especially important for people with suspected atypical growth of moles or subcutaneous formations. Recording an image allows a person to familiarize themselves with their dermatoscopy and, if desired, consult another specialist.
The dermatoscope is approved by the sanitary-epidemiological examination of Ukraine and is recommended for use in specialized oncological centers.
Early diagnosis
The specialists of the Mediostar clinic recommend that healthy people undergo dermatoscopy at least once a year, at the next visit to the beautician. This will exclude the development of malignant pathology or identify it at an early stage, when the success of treatment reaches 80%.
Dermatoscope Illuco IDS 1100 makes it possible to identify the following skin pathologies:
- abnormal growth of moles – wrong color, shape, size;
- malignant neoplasms of the skin and subcutaneous fat – melanoma, secondary tumors;
- benign neoplasms of the skin and subcutaneous fat – atheromas, lipomas, fibromas, angiomas;
- dermatological diseases – psoriasis, keratomas, ichthyosis, dermatitis of various etiologies;
- systemic diseases of the skin and connective tissue – dermatomyositis, systemic scleroderma, systemic lupus erythematosus.
In difficult diagnostic cases, dermatoscopy is used to accurately determine the type and nature of the rash.
In the presence of abnormal moles and a confirmed absence of an oncological process, dermatoscopy of the formation is carried out annually, monitoring its growth.
Attention! Dermatoscopy does not exclude histological examination of tissues.
The device “Illuko” allows you to suspect melanoma in the early stages, when there is no spread and metastasis of the tumor. To determine the type of tumor, the degree of its differentiation and the selection of the correct treatment tactics, a subsequent histological examination of the tissue is necessary.
Indications and contraindications
Early diagnosis of neoplasms on the skin allows you to establish the correct diagnosis and promptly initiate appropriate treatment.
There are 6 main indications for a dermatoscopy:
- Suspected skin malignancy.
- Differential diagnosis of benign and malignant skin lesions.
- Evaluation of age spots, their growth, discoloration.
- Prophylactic examination for people with risk factors (familial tendency to melanoma, history of malignant neoplasms of the skin or subcutaneous fat).
- Differential diagnosis of rash.
- Assessment of skin condition.
Dermatoscope IDS 1100 significantly increases the surface of the skin, allowing the doctor to carefully examine all the elements of interest. It is not always possible to detect a malignant neoplasm with the help of dermatoscopy, especially if it is located deep in the subcutaneous fat. But dermatoscopy allows the doctor to suspect changes in the tissues and refer the client for further visualization of the formation for ultrasound, MRI, and biopsy.
There are no contraindications to dermatoscopy. There are no side effects after the procedure – the Illuco dermatoscope 1100 device is completely safe even for pregnant women, nursing mothers and children in their first year of life.
In the Mediostar clinic, dermatoscopy is performed by cosmetologists and dermatovenerologists with higher medical education. Based on the results of the study, the doctor will tell you in detail about the condition of your skin. If there is the slightest suspicion of a skin neoplasm, he will send for consultation to related specialists.
