Karen von Kossel Dermatologia

Frequently asked questions

Short answers about consultations and the office. Questions about each treatment are on the specialty pages.

How long is a consultation?

The first consultation lasts about 90 minutes and includes a skin examination with a dermatoscope when the reason for the visit calls for it.

Do you accept health insurance?

Consultations are private. The office issues an official receipt (nota fiscal) and a medical report so you can claim reimbursement from your Brazilian health plan or international insurance, according to the terms of your policy.

How much does a consultation cost?

The team can tell you the fees for consultations and procedures on WhatsApp +55 11 99260-2007.

Is there a charge for the follow-up visit?

There is no charge for a follow-up visit to review test results and adjust treatment for the same concern. Procedures done at that visit, such as treating a wart, are charged separately.

Does Dr. von Kossel see patients in French or English?

Yes. Consultations can be held in Portuguese, French or English, for international patients and for people who live abroad and are visiting São Paulo.

How often should my moles be checked?

Once a year for most people, and every 3 to 6 months for those at high risk, such as people with a history of melanoma or many atypical moles. See skin cancer and mole mapping.

Can I have a cosmetic procedure at my first appointment?

It depends on the procedure and on the schedule. The recommendation comes from the skin examination, and the team will tell you when booking whether it can be done the same day.

Do I need a referral?

No. You can book directly. If another doctor referred you, bring the referral letter. It helps Dr. von Kossel understand what they are asking.

How do I cancel?

Message the same WhatsApp number as early as you can, so the slot can go to another patient.
