Treatment Details

At Verse Medical Aesthetics, we use professional dermoscopy as part of every skin consultation — not just to check moles, but to look beneath the surface of conditions that look identical to the naked eye but respond to completely different treatments.

As a V300 Independent Nurse Prescriber, Marta can prescribe appropriate treatment directly upon diagnosis — no separate GP appointment needed.

In practice, dermoscopy has allowed us to identify lesions of concern during routine aesthetic consultations that patients were entirely unaware of, including referring a patient for urgent GP two-week wait dermatology review. This is what clinical aesthetics looks like.

DermLite DL5 — Professional-Grade Equipment

Our DermLite DL5 provides 10× magnification with a 32mm lens, super polarised and variable polarisation options, and 25 LEDs including UV (365nm) and PigmentBoost modes. This means we can examine your skin at a level of detail that most high street clinics simply can't offer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can dermoscopy detect?

Dermoscopy helps distinguish between rosacea variants, dermatitis, pigmentation depth, and potentially concerning moles or lesions. Conditions that look identical to the naked eye often respond to completely different treatments.

Do I need a referral?

No. You can book a dermoscopy assessment directly. If a referral to a dermatologist is needed, we'll arrange that for you.

Is this a diagnostic service?

This is a clinical assessment and referral service. For mole photography, the consultant dermatologist's written report constitutes the formal assessment. For urgent lesions we refer directly to your GP for two-week wait review.
