Before you head off on your well-earned summer break, take a moment to check in with your health. At Dottore London, we offer preventative care that ensures you’re ready to enjoy your holiday in good shape—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Whether you’re planning a long-haul adventure or a relaxing staycation, a summer health check is one of the most effective ways to spot potential issues before they become disruptive.
Why Prioritise Your Health Before Summer?
Your body might be feeling the effects of a long, busy year. As a result, preparing for summer with a wellness screeninghelps you reset and recharge. Here’s why it matters:
- Travel preparation: A pre-holiday health check ensures you’re ready for flights, heat, and long travel days.
- Detect early signs: Many conditions—such as iron deficiency, high blood pressure, or hormone imbalance—are silent until they cause discomfort.
- Support energy levels: By identifying nutrient gaps or stress markers, we help you feel your best when it matters most.
- Minimise risk while abroad: For those travelling internationally, a travel health check helps prevent medical surprises far from home.
Key Checks to Include in Your Summer Health Assessment
We recommend a personalised combination of tests and consultations, based on your lifestyle and travel plans.
Blood Tests: Know What’s Happening Internally
A comprehensive blood test panel will screen for:
- Vitamin D, iron, B12
- Glucose, cholesterol, thyroid function
- Hormone balance and inflammation markers
These indicators offer powerful insights into fatigue, immune response, and general wellbeing.
Cardiovascular Review: Don’t Miss the Signs
Our health screenings include blood pressure checks and heart health assessments—especially relevant for anyone over 30, or with a family history of heart disease.
Skin Health: Sun-Safe Starts with Awareness
Heading into the sunny season? A dermatology consultation can review moles, pigmentation, or any skin changes that may require attention. Early detection is key.
Gender-Specific Wellness: Tailored for You
Your health needs are unique. That’s why we offer:
- Women’s Health Check: including hormone testing, cervical screening, breast health
- Men’s Health Check: covering prostate, testosterone, heart and metabolic risk
Both packages are designed to give you clear, actionable insights.
Five Everyday Health Habits for a Better Summer
Even small changes can make a big difference before and during your holidays. Consider these simple but effective adjustments:
- Hydrate more than usual, particularly during hot weather or air travel.
- Limit alcohol and caffeine, which can interfere with hydration and sleep.
- Add movement into your routine—short walks, stretching or yoga are great travel companions.
- Prioritise sleep, even when your schedule is disrupted.
- Support your body with supplements, such as magnesium or vitamin D (especially if you’re often indoors).

Con l’arrivo dell’autunno, la nostra pelle è messa alla prova da sbalzi di temperatura, umidità elevata e abbigliamento non sempre traspirante. Questi fattori possono aumentare il rischio di dermatiti, irritazioni, infezioni fungine e altre problematiche cutanee.
Ecco alcuni consigli utili per prevenire i disturbi della pelle in autunno:
1. Igiene e Idratazione della Pelle
Una corretta igiene quotidiana con detergenti delicati, unita a un’adeguata idratazione con creme emollienti, aiuta a mantenere integro il film idrolipidico della pelle. Questo strato protettivo è essenziale per difendere l’epidermide da agenti esterni e cambiamenti climatici.
2. Attenzione ai Tessuti e ai Colori degli Indumenti
Sapevate che i tessuti scuri, in particolare il nero, possono contenere pigmenti irritanti per la pelle sensibile? Preferire indumenti in cotone bianco e traspirante può contribuire a prevenire arrossamenti e dermatiti da contatto.
3. Evitate Ambienti Umidi e Mal Ventilati
L’umidità e la scarsa esposizione al sole favoriscono la proliferazione di muffe e funghi, potenziali cause di micosi cutanee. Assicuratevi di vivere e lavorare in ambienti ben areati e asciutti.
4. Visita Dermatologica di Prevenzione
Prenotare una visita dermatologica preventiva in autunno permette di identificare precocemente eventuali problemi cutanei, anche quelli sottovalutati o trascurati nei mesi precedenti. Una diagnosi tempestiva è fondamentale per una cura efficace e duratura.
Secondo l’Associazione italiana dei registri tumori (AIRTUM) le neoplasie cutanee (non solo il Melanoma, ma anche il Carcinoma Basocellulare e Spinocellulare e le loro rispettive precancerosi, la cheratosi seborroica e attinica) sono in aumento, soprattutto nella popolazione giovanile, dato probabilmente legato alle scorrette abitudini personali, tra le quali la piu’ importante e’ l’esposizione ai raggi ultravioletti sia naturali che artificiali in modo eccessivo e senza il giusto schermo solare.
La Visita Dermatologica con Epiluminescenza permette di diagnosticare e trattare in tempo tali neoplasie anche con la prescrizione di un’idonea fotoprotezione.
