Diagnostic Center Skin

What Diagnostic Center Skin does

Diagnostiskt Centrum Hud (DCH), operating in English as Diagnostic Center Skin, is a private Swedish specialist dermatology provider founded in 2012 and headquartered in Stockholm. The company operates 12 clinics across Sweden's major cities — Stockholm (City, Hötorget, Sickla), Malmö (City, Hyllie), Helsingborg, Göteborg (Stampgatan and GHM), Linköping, Skövde, and Borås (BHM) — and self-describes as the country's leading and largest private provider of dermatological care. Its clinical portfolio covers diagnosis and treatment of the full range of skin conditions (acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, warts, benign lesions, and skin cancers) with Mohs micrographic surgery as the differentiated anchor for basal cell carcinoma, offering a stated up to 99% cure rate with maximum tissue preservation.

All DCH physicians are board-certified dermatology specialists, many of whom also train future dermatologists and general practitioners, and the group integrates research and development into operations via an in-house Knowledge Bank and active publication record. Clinical technology is conventional: dermatoscopic examination, layer-by-layer Mohs tissue removal with microscopic margin analysis, phototherapy referrals, and immunomodulatory systemic therapies including biopharmaceuticals for inflammatory skin disease. All clinics hold ISO 9001 (quality) and ISO 14001 (environmental) certifications.

DCH operates a direct-to-consumer model with three concurrent payer channels: regional Swedish healthcare agreements (e.g., Region Östergötland), private health insurance through employer-sponsored plans where DCH cooperates with most Swedish insurers, and out-of-pocket private pay at 1,400–1,600 SEK per consultation depending on clinic, with procedure costs billed separately. No referral is required for private-pay bookings via the online form (form.zymego.com/dchud). Distribution is entirely physical clinic-based; no telemedicine or digital-first channel is disclosed. The company hosts the annual Derm Summit scientific symposium, now in its seventh year, and pursues growth through both organic clinic openings and acquisition of independent dermatology practices.
