Discreet counselling rooms
Did you know that sun-induced skin cancer is affecting more and more young people? And yet it only takes so little. The best protection is prevention, so get your skin checked by a dermatologist. Consultations are generally-preventive, and if suspected, a comprehensive examination should be carried out by your dermatologist.
