A Smarter Way to Evaluate Moles: Introducing Nevisense at Boutique Dermatology

When it comes to skin cancer, early detection saves lives. At Boutique Dermatology, we’re always looking for ways to combine expert clinical judgment with the latest technology to give our patients the best possible care. That’s why we’re excited to offer Nevisense, an advanced tool that helps evaluate suspicious moles and skin lesions.

What Is Nevisense?
Nevisense is a non-invasive diagnostic device designed to help dermatology providers assess pigmented skin lesions that may be concerning for Melanoma. The technology measures the electrical properties of the skin beneath a mole and provides additional information that can help determine whether a biopsy may be needed.

Think of Nevisense as an extra layer of reassurance and precision during your skin exam.

How Does It Work?

During your visit:

• Your skin lesion is examined by Dr. Shelley Fox.
• If a mole appears atypical, Nevisense may be used to gather additional data.
• A small handheld probe gently touches the skin.
• The device analyzes the lesion in seconds.
• Results help guide the decision of whether monitoring or biopsy is the best next step.

The test is painless, non-invasive, and does not involve needles, radiation, or cutting the skin.

 
Who Can Benefit from Nevisense?
Nevisense may be helpful for patients who:

• Have a new or changing mole.
• Have multiple atypical moles.
• Have a personal or family history of melanoma.
• Want a more thorough evaluation of a concerning lesion.
• Are unsure whether a mole is “normal” or worth checking.
   
  Why We Love This Technology
  As dermatology providers, we never rely on a device alone. Your clinical examination remains the most important part of the evaluation. However, Nevisense provides valuable additional information that can improve confidence in decision-making.

Benefits include:

• Earlier detection of potentially dangerous lesions.
• More informed biopsy decisions.
• Greater peace of mind for patients.
• Non-invasive assessment before considering a biopsy.
   
  What Nevisense Does NOT Replace
  Nevisense is not a substitute for a full-body skin exam or for the expertise of a trained dermatology provider. It is one tool among many that helps us provide comprehensive skin cancer screening.

If a lesion remains suspicious, a biopsy may still be recommended.

 The Bottom Line
Most moles are benign, but identifying the rare lesion that could become melanoma is incredibly important. Nevisense helps us evaluate suspicious moles with advanced, non-invasive technology, giving patients another level of confidence during their skin cancer screening.

If you’ve noticed a new, changing, itching, bleeding, or unusual mole, don’t wait to have it checked.
