How much is a skin check in Orewa?
At MoleMap’s mole check Orewa clinic, the cost of a skin check will depend on the type of service you choose. Our most comprehensive mole check service is our Full Body MoleMap. This includes full body imaging, individual mole plotting and ongoing, proactive skin monitoring. It is recommended for anyone with a medium to high risk of getting melanoma. For people at low risk or who have spotted a new or changing mole, we suggest having a SkinCheck (choose to have it with or without total body imaging).
