FULL BODY SKIN EXAM
Yearly Skin Check
At DaVida Medical & Aesthetics, our full body skin exam in San Antonio is a key component of preventing skin concerns like melanoma. As such, we recommend having it done annually. We use annually full body skin exams to track the appearance of skin moles, lesions, birthmarks, and other growths on the skin’s surface. By tracking these lesions yearly, we can ensure that each one is healthy. If there are any changes in color, shape, or size of your skin lesions, we will recommend the appropriate course of treatment.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR FULL BODY SKIN EXAM
Your full body skin exam will be performed by our team of medical professionals at our San Antonio med spa. Before your exam begins, you may be asked to remove your clothing and put on a medical gown to easier inspect your skin. During your exam, we will check each area of your skin for any abnormal skin growths. Each exam generally takes less than 20 minutes to complete. Afterwards, patients can return to their normal daily activities.

WHO SHOULD GET
FULL BODY SKIN EXAMS?
New patients are often surprised when we tell them that annual skin screenings are actually a thing. And more importantly, that they should be participating – ANNUALLY. Skin cancer has been on the rise and is the 5th most common type of cancer.
Skin checks should take place yearly starting at age 16. We recommend doing it the same time every year. These exams tend to be fully covered by insurance, so getting screened costs you very little, mostly just time!
