Protect your skin with our advanced skin cancer screening designed for early detection and prevention. Our experts use precise diagnostic techniques to identify concerns early and ensure your long-term skin health.
Skin cancer screening is a preventive examination designed to detect skin cancers early, when they are most treatable. During this exam, a dermatologist carefully inspects your skin for unusual moles, lesions, or discolorations that may indicate melanoma or other forms of skin cancer. Early detection through regular screenings is the most effective way to reduce risk and improve treatment outcomes, helping you maintain long-term skin health and peace of mind.
Skin cancer screening involves a comprehensive visual examination of your skin from head to toe. Using magnification tools and dermatoscopes, your dermatologist assesses the size, color, and shape of moles or spots to identify any that appear suspicious. If needed, a small biopsy may be performed to test for cancerous cells.
The procedure is completely non-invasive, safe, and painless. The primary benefit lies in early detection, which allows for simpler, more effective treatment. Risks are minimal — only mild temporary discomfort may occur if a biopsy is taken.
There is no recovery time required after the screening itself. If a biopsy is done, mild redness or soreness may appear for a few days. With routine screenings and timely follow-ups, skin cancers can often be detected early, significantly improving recovery and long-term outcomes.
You should contact your dermatologist if you notice new or changing moles, unusual pigmentation, or lesions that itch, bleed, or don’t heal properly. Early evaluation ensures quick intervention and optimal results.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Skin Cancer Screening?
Individuals with fair or freckled skin prone to sunburn
Those with multiple moles or spots that change in color or shape
People with a family or personal history of skin cancer
Anyone with significant sun exposure or use of tanning beds
Anyone concerned about a changing mole, new growth, or previous sun damage should schedule regular skin checks to ensure early detection and peace of mind.

I am a board-certified dermatologist. I referred several of my patients to Dr. Riyaz for Fraxel laser treatments. The results have been outstanding and my patients have been raving about his amazing bedside manner. He adeptly treats all skin types with ease.

My daughter had a handful of stubborn warts that we had been trying to get rid of for YEARS. We tried everything at home — over-the-counter freezing products, creams, duct tape, scraping, acids — you name it, we tried it!
We finally decided to see our regular doctor, where they attempted to freeze them off. When that didn’t work, we went back multiple times and eventually tried a combination of freezing and acid treatments. After FOUR very painful appointments and more than $800 out of pocket, the warts were STILL there. At that point, we were frustrated and gave up for several months.
When summer came around, we decided to give Studio Derm and Dr. Farhaad Riyaz a try — and I am SO glad we did!
Dr. Riyaz listened carefully to everything we had already been through, explained the different treatment options available, and helped us decide how to move forward. He was incredibly kind, patient, and compassionate with my daughter.
And the best part? After ONE pleasant appointment, the warts were GONE! 🙌
We actually went back expecting that she would need another treatment, but Dr. Riyaz looked at them, told us they were healing beautifully, and sent us on our way — no unnecessary treatment or appointment.
After everything we had been through, I honestly couldn't believe how easy the experience was. Dr. Riyaz is truly a caring, compassionate, knowledgeable, and HONEST doctor. It is so refreshing to find someone who genuinely seems to care about his patients and isn't going to recommend treatment that isn't needed.
I would recommend Studio Derm and Dr. Farhaad Riyaz to absolutely anyone. I only wish we had found him years ago!
A simple, in-office biopsy may be recommended to determine whether a mole or lesion is benign or cancerous. Early diagnosis ensures the best possible treatment results.
