What is MelaFind?

MelaFind is an FDA approved and CE Marked innovative software-driven imaging and data analysis device designed to be used when a dermatologist chooses to obtain additional information for a decision to biopsy irregular moles that are pigmented.

MelaFind:

  • Provides us with important information when deciding to biopsy irregular (odd looking) moles
  • Is driven by a 100% objective data analysis and uses spectral imaging technology to access information about irregular moles
  • Analyzes irregular moles (odd looking moles) non-invasively up to 2.5 mm below the surface of the skin, where the naked eye cannot see.

We use our clinical expertise to examine you and to interpret the MelaFind exam data, which we incorporate into our decision whether or not to biopsy.
