Spot change early. Book a skin check in Paeroa

Every year, around 80,000 New Zealanders develop skin cancer. It’s the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the country. Yet, not all skin cancer looks the same, making it harder to detect—especially with an untrained eye. Your best protection is a professional skin check.

At your Paeroa mole check, we spot change early. Get a comprehensive, head-to-toe skin and mole check. AI technology combined with our world-class image database, assists our melanographers to detect atypical lesions. Suspicious moles are dermoscopically imaged and sent for dermatologist diagnosis. No referral. No lengthy wait. Just the reassurance you deserve.

“At my annual full body skin exam, the melanographer found a small pin-sized spot on my ear and recommended I have it examined further. It turned out to be cancerous. If it wasn’t for MoleMap, it would have gone unnoticed.”

Your questions, answered

What’s the most common type of skin cancer in New Zealand?

Around 80,000 New Zealanders are diagnosed with skin cancer every year. The three most common types of skin cancer are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. It’s important to know the symptoms of skin cancer, but also the risks. Find out your personal skin cancer risk by taking our quick risk quiz.

What happens if a suspicious mole is detected at my Paeroa skin check?

If a suspicious mole is detected during your visit to MoleMap skin cancer clinic Paeroa, it will be dermoscopically imaged and sent for dermatologist diagnosis. If skin cancer is suspected, a biopsy will usually be recommended. This is a minor surgical procedure carried out under local anaesthetic. A small sample of tissue is removed for testing. The skin sample is looked at under a microscope to check for skin cancer.

What does a typical skin and mole check involve?

Your MoleMap Paeroa skin check involves a comprehensive skin examination by an experienced melanographer. They’ll check your skin from head to toe, including under your nails, the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet. Any suspicious moles or spots are photographed using a dermatoscope. This produces high-resolution images that can be magnified. The images are sent for dermatologist diagnosis. Within around 10 working days you’ll receive a full report and recommendation on the next steps—only if action is needed.

What’s the difference between a skin check and mole mapping?

At MoleMap Paeroa, our SkinCheck is a comprehensive, point-in-time skin and mole check service. Any suspicious lesions are imaged using a dermatoscope and sent for dermatologist diagnosis. This is ideal if you notice a new or changing mole or lesion and want it checked out fast. Or, if you want the reassurance that your skin is healthy at this point in time.
NOTE: SkinCheck+ offers all the benefits of a SkinCheck with the addition of full body imaging. Our skin is always changing, a photographic record makes it easy to spot new moles and take action.

Mole mapping involves taking a series of around 28 images of the body. This creates a digital mole map, which is used as a reference to spot changes quickly. Individual mole mapping is included in our Full Body MoleMap. This is our most comprehensive skin check and mole check service. It includes:

       
  • A head-to-toe skin check
  • Full body imaging
  • Individual mole mapping
  • Dermatologist diagnosis
  • Proactive skin surveillance
  • Unlimited free spot checks between annual appointments
  • Education on skin cancer risk + prevention
  •
