How does MedX Rapid Dermatology work?

Through its high-definition image capture technology, MedX allows for quick and easy assessment of skin lesions and conditions – including capturing vital information about the formation of lesions below the skin surface – and provides detailed patient scans to a certified dermatologist for assessment within 72 hours of screening.

Following this quick and easy assessment, patients are either provided with a diagnosis and recommended treatment plan or are referred for additional testing. The MedX Rapid Dermatology scan eliminates the lengthy wait time to see a dermatologist in person.

This test is non-invasive, secure and performed by a licensed physician. Inquire at a SimpliCare clinic near you about availability and how to get tested.
