What does a mole check at skin cancer clinic Greenlane involve?
When you visit MoleMap Greenlane for a skin cancer check you’ll get a thorough, head-to-toe skin check. This is performed by a melanographer—a health professional with training in early skin cancer detection. All our skin check services include digital imaging of any suspicious moles. This is done using a digital camera and the latest AI technology. Images of ‘at risk’ moles are sent to a dermatologist for diagnosis. As no referral is needed, you get your diagnosis quickly.

When should I have a skin check?
Ideally, you should have a professional skin check every year. Annual skin checks are recommended from the age of 18. Depending on your skin cancer risk, you may need to have more frequent skin checks. For example, if you have a medium-to-high risk of skin cancer, a skin cancer doctor may suggest getting a full skin check every six months.
It’s also good to perform at-home skin checks every three months. Getting to know your skin is a great way to spot changes early. Check out our guide to at-home skin checks.
