Skin check vs mole mapping: what’s the difference? 

Book a SkinCheck in Balclutha and you’ll get a comprehensive, point-in-time skin and mole check service. Suspicious lesions are imaged using a dermatoscope and sent electronically 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. Want the benefit of full body imaging to track and compare changes to your skin over time? Book a SkinCheck+.

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
