How should I prepare for my skin check?
We recommend doing a DIY skin check and noting anything of concern. At your MoleMap Napier mole check, you’ll need to undress down to your underwear. Don’t worry, your modesty will be protected at all times. To make things simple, we suggest wearing clothing that can easily be removed for a thorough skin check. It’s best to remove make-up, sunscreen, and nail polish. We also recommend you avoid self-tanning, as this may change the appearance of your skin.
