Serving clients throughout the Calgary region, the expansion of dermatological services is a reflection of the clinic’s ongoing commitment to improving patient quality of life and using leading-edge technology alongside diagnostic expertise.
The Canadian Dermatology Association reports that skin cancer is the most common cancer in Canada. According to their data, 1 in 59 men and 1 in 73 women will develop the most deadly form of skin cancer, melanoma. However, skin cancer is largely preventable and highly treatable when detected early. In fact, melanoma has over a 95% cure rate when caught early, highlighting the importance of regular skin checks. At Derm.ca, the professional and expert skin cancer team collaborates with patients to identify potential problem areas, monitor changes over time, and provide treatment if needed, ensuring patient well-being.
"Mole mapping is recommended if you have a family history of skin cancer," explains a spokesperson. "If you have a lot of moles and you have experienced numerous sunburns, mole mapping is a wise choice. If you have any large moles, moles that have changed, or new moles that have appeared, mole mapping will help us monitor changes without having to get biopsies of suspicious moles."
Mole mapping is especially important for those with a family history of skin cancer or an increased risk due to factors like frequent sunburns, fair skin, many moles, freckles, blue or green eyes, or blonde or red hair.
At Derm.ca, trained health professionals with experience in dermatology use the latest imaging technology to generate high-quality images of a patient's moles, mapped against their location on the body. These images are then assessed by Dr. Kenneth Alanen, a board-certified dermatologist, so that with each subsequent checkup, even slight changes in shape, texture, elevation, size, colour, and more can be observed.
If Derm.ca finds a suspicious mole, they will recommend a biopsy or removal. If feasible, this procedure may be done on the same day as the mapping appointment. During other treatments, such as cosmetic laser procedures, if something suspicious is noticed, CEO and Laser Treatment Specialist Ildikó Juhasz can refer patients immediately to Dr. Alanen, a board-certified dermatologist and skin cancer surgeon. Laser treatments not only enhance skin but can also help reduce cancer risk by removing precancerous lesions. No referrals are needed in this scenario, ensuring quick and efficient care for any potential skin cancer concerns.
Individuals who are concerned about moles are invited to arrange a non-referred mole mapping appointment by calling the Derm.ca dermatology clinic at (403) 457-1900 or booking an appointment through the website’s request form.
Previous clients have positive reviews for Derm.ca. "I had a number of suspicious looking moles and other brown marks on my back, chest, and shoulders which were very concerning," says Gilbert L. "I saw Dr. Alanen and cannot express how knowledgeable and thorough he was in going through the mole mapping process. He explained everything and answered all of my questions. Luckily there was nothing to be concerned about but I now have a baseline to work from. I highly recommend Derm.ca and Dr. Alanen."
