Dermatology in Tenerife – Skin Health at Our Modern Medical Center

Welcome to our modern Medical Center in Tenerife, your reliable partner for comprehensive medical care – with a special focus on dermatology and advanced diagnostics.

We offer an innovative, efficient, and specialist-supervised skin diagnostics service via telemedicine – ideal for travelers, tourists, residents and seasonal visitors who need quick and professional medical assistance.

Quick and Reliable Skin Assessments – With Dermatological Expertise

Skin changes often cause concern and should be assessed professionally. However, seeing a dermatologist can involve long waiting times.
At our Medical Center, we offer a modern and efficient solution:

Your skin concern is first discussed in a personal consultation with our experienced physician, who conducts a thorough examination and documents the affected area using high-resolution images.

These images and your medical history are securely transmitted to a team of board-certified dermatology specialists, who provide a detailed medical report including diagnosis and, if necessary, treatment recommendations or a prescription.

You will then return for a follow-up appointment at our center, where our doctor will explain the results and discuss the next steps.

This way, you benefit from specialist-level dermatological insight – quickly and conveniently, right here on-site.
