How often should I have my skin checked?
At MoleMap, we recommend that everyone have an annual skin check. People at higher risk of skin cancer may need a more frequent skin check. Take our quick quiz to check your skin cancer risk. It’s also a good idea to regularly check your skin at home—ideally every three months. This helps you to get to know your skin. If you see any changes or notice a new or suspicious mole, book an appointment at mole check Tauranga or your local skin check clinic straight away.
How do you examine the skin at your skin cancer clinic Tauranga?
A melanographer performs a thorough skin check of the entire body at a macro level. Using the latest AI technology, atypical lesions are cross-checked in real-time against our comprehensive image database. Next, we use a dermatoscope to check individual moles more closely. We take dermoscopic (under the skin) images of any suspicious lesions.Those images are then passed on to a dermatologist, for diagnosis. We follow the same, detailed process at all MoleMap clinic locations. Please see our services page for more details on the features of each skin check.
What’s the difference between MoleMap Tauranga and other skin check clinics?
MoleMap is a pioneer in skin cancer screening. Our system is built on the belief that early skin cancer detection leads to better outcomes. Our mole check services are designed to give you the peace of mind that either you don’t have skin cancer or that it was found early enough to be successfully treated. Not only have we pioneered new technology for imaging skin lesions (AKA moles), we’ve also developed a skin cancer ‘surveillance’ system. This tracks your skin continually over time. This is important because skin lesions can change very quickly.
