Mole Screening

It’s important to get a new or existing mole checked out if it:

• changes shape or looks uneven
• changes colour, gets darker or has more than 2 colours
• starts itching, crusting, flaking or bleeding
• gets larger or more raised from the skin

A mini mole screen is a 15-minute consultation for patients who have concerns about skin lesions. Up to 4 moles or skin lesions can be assessed at this time. The moles or skin lesions are assessed using a Handyscope™ which allows a detailed assessment. These images can be saved securely for future comparison.

The full body mole screen is a 30 minute consultation and it includes a sun risk assessment

Full body skin examination includes:

• Mole Assessment
• Skin lesion Assessment
• Screening for all forms of skin cancer
• Imaging of Moles and skin lesions using a Handyscope™

Images are reviewed by The Doctor during the consultation and recommendations discussed. These images are then uploaded to a secure server to be stored for future comparison.

Occasionally the doctor will recommend a mole be reassessed following initial screening – this is a 10-minute appointment and is included within the initial charge.
