Many people choose to get a skin check in Autumn. This may be because they want to check their skin for changes after being exposed to the sun during summer. Others prefer to have their skin and moles checked during winter when their skin is less tanned and closer to its natural state. Also, as most of us cover up during the cool months we may be less likely to notice changes to our skin. Ultimately the best time of year to get a skin check in the Lower North Island is when it feels comfortable for you and, ideally, once a year (unless recommended otherwise).
The cost of a skin check in the Lower North Island will depend on which mole check service you choose. At MoleMap Lower North Island, our most comprehensive mole check service is our Full Body MoleMap. This includes full body imaging 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 skin check (there's the option to have it with or without total body imaging). Don’t know your skin cancer risk?
