Frequently asked questions

Mole Mapping is a specialised skin monitoring service that uses high resolution digital imaging and dermoscopy to track changes in moles overtime. It helps detect early signs of skin cancer, particularly melanoma. It includes a full body skin check by a Dermatology Nurse Specialist, thoroughly examining all areas of the skin for suspicious lesions/ moles.

 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the number of moles being assessed.

During the appointment high quality images are taken using a specialised Fotofinder machine with AI technology.

To ensure accurate imaging:

1. If possible, avoid fake tan and heavy make up on the day of the appointment
2. Wear comfortable clothing
3. If possible, remove coloured nail polish
4. Bring results from previously removed moles
5. Bring hair tie for long hair

 The full body skin check and imaging are done with your underwear on. Your  comfort and privacy are our top priorities during the consultation.  

 All photos are securely stored and accessible only by our qualified specialists.  

The Fotofinder system is not connected to the internet for safety and privacy purposes.

If a mole or lesion shows concerning features or changes, we will recommend further clinical evaluation with a Dermatologist, which may include a biopsy or removal.

A highly skilled Dermatologist will review all the photographs and scans. A comprehensive report will be sent via email in a week.
