by Dermatoscopy enables dermatologists and clinicians to examine skin lesions at surface level as well as stratum corneum and epidermis layer of the skin. It helps to visualize subsurface structures of pigmented or non-pigmented skin lesions that are otherwise undetectable to the unaided eye. Modern dermatoscopes utilize cross-polarized lighting to illuminate skin lesions without glare or reflections, magnifying images to aid in early detection of melanoma and other skin cancers. The devices analyze vascular and pigmentary patterns associated with numerous skin diseases. Dermatoscopy has significantly improved the accuracy of diagnosing melanocytic lesions such as moles and melanomas by enabling visualization of clinically important morphologic features.
The global Dermatoscope Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 951.1 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 8.7% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
