Dermatologists use Dermatoscope in dermatoscopy, which includes observing skin lesions to detect skin diseases such as skin cancer (melanoma). Dermatoscope is a device that allows dermatologists to visualize the surface of skin structures that cannot be seen with the naked eye. It also helps examine the nails, scalp, and hair. The dermatoscope device contains a non-polarized light source, a magnifier, and a transparent plate that allows proper skin visualization in detail. Dermatoscope can take pictures of skin which later are examined by dermatologists to diagnose the disease.
The dermatoscopic pictures are photographed and saved for evaluation. Dermatoscope devices are majorly used in hospitals and dermatology clinics. However, advanced dermatoscopes provide visualization for the diagnosis of all types of skin issues; the machines are widely used in the diagnosis of skin cancer and skin tumor. Skin cancer is usually found in the first two layers of the skin, but to discern detailed structures of the skin, dermatoscopes play a vital role in the dermatology sector. Advanced dermatoscopes have helped the dermatology unit to diagnose skin lesions quickly. The utilization of dermatoscopes has improved the accuracy of diagnosis for dermatologists.
Along with this, early dermoscopy has reduced the unnecessary prolonged treatment and removal of benign skin lesions. Dermlite D3N, Heine Delta 20, SkinCeuticalsSkin Scope, and KaweEurolight 30 are a few popular dermatoscopes available in the market that dermatologists highly recommend. Moreover, the advancement of dermatoscopic devices is yet to make the process of dermoscopy more reliable and quicker.

The dermatoscope market is projected to grow during the forecast period of 2024-2034, owing to the increased utilization of advanced aid devices in the healthcare sector. The utilization of dermatoscope has increased by dermatologists due to their accurate visual inspection of skin structures. Developing healthcare infrastructure in developing countries is anticipated to bring opportunities for investors and developers in the dermatoscope market. The reliability and accountability associated with dermatoscope as compared to any other melanoma detection measure, have fueled the growth of the global dermatoscope market.
The increasing prevalence of skin cancer (melanoma& non-melanoma) is seen as a significant driving factor for the global dermatoscope market in upcoming years. Skin cancer is the fastest-growing cancer type globally, which has gained concern.
The increasing research and development sector to invent advanced dermatoscope, rapidly increasing demand for cosmetic surgeries to change physical appearance, growing awareness about skin issues such as fungal infection, scars, warts, and many other skin diseases and technologically advanced treatment options are a few other factors driving the growth of dermatoscope market. Along with this, partnership, collaboration, and acquisition by prominent key players to enhance or expand their dermatoscope product portfolio are considered a significant driver for the dermatoscope market.
For instance, in the year 2021, a global leader in imaging systems, Canfield Scientific, acquired Medici Medical. The acquisition aims to expand Canfield Scientific's dermoscopy portfolio and begin a new dermatology education program. The rising cost of dermoscopy and the overall cost associated with any skin treatment are seen as major restraining factors for the growth of dermatoscope market. Few medicine imaging alternatives, such as Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) and Positron Emission Technology (PET), have hampered the growth of dermatoscope market. Additionally, the prolonged-time period required for the examination and diagnosis has affected consumer behavior toward dermoscopy which is another restraining factor for the dermatoscope market. However, technologically advanced dermatoscope will overcome this restraint.
Based on product, the dermatoscope market is segmented into contact, hybrid, and non-contact dermatoscope. The contact dermatoscope segment holds the largest revenue share in the dermatoscope market. The availability of wide range of contact dermatoscope devices with polarized light makes the contact dermatoscope a leading component in the market. There are two types of contact dermatoscope. Polarized and non-polarized contact dermatoscopes are used in the process of dermoscopy. According to dermatologists, the polarized contact dermatoscope provides a better visual of deeper skin structures, and whereas the non-polarized contact dermatoscope allows superficial vision.
The hybrid dermatoscope segment is anticipated to grow during the forecast period owing to its benefit of carrying both contact and non-contact dermatoscope qualities. The hybrid dermatoscope is designed with this combination for better imaging purposes. A recent example of a hybrid dermatoscope is Dermlite D200 dermatoscope developed by 3Gen Company.
