The Medical Centre treats the entire spectrum of skin diseases such as acne, eczema, fungal diseases, infectious skin diseases and much more. Skin cancer screening examinations are also carried out with modern skin light microscopes and computer-controlled analysis for the early detection of malignant skin cancer diseases such as black and white skin cancer. Another focus is on operative dermatology. The vast majority of procedures can be performed on an outpatient basis under local anaesthesia or twilight sleep by an anaesthetist. Benign and malignant skin changes (as well as their preliminary stages) are removed.
All skin changes removed by us are subjected to a fine tissue examination. Larger skin operations, e.g. in the case of extensive tumours or problem localisations with subsequent plastic surgery coverage, are carried out as outpatient day surgery or as inpatient procedures in a private hospital in Merano.

Treatment of skin diseases and skin cancer
Full-body scanner for early skin cancer detection
Skin cancer is now by far the most common form of cancer, ahead of breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men.
The numbers of black skin cancer (malignant melanoma) - the most dangerous tumour of the skin - are increasing every year. But the less aggressive, white skin cancer, is also steadily increasing.
The groundbreaking and state-of-the-art 3D full-body scanner is a 3D imaging system for full-body images specifically designed for the field of dermatology. It captures almost the entire skin surface in macro resolution with just one image.
With sophisticated computer technology and the aid of artificial intelligence, it is then possible to detect early forms of skin cancer and treat them adequately. With the help of the fully integrated software, we can "map" and observe pigmented lesions and scattered skin diseases.
In the long term, the goal is to prevent manifest skin cancer from developing in the first place by recognising and treating preliminary stages of skin cancer.
