“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

Where can I go to get a mole check in Christchurch?

GPs, dermatologists, specially trained health professionals, and surgeons can provide mole checks. If your GP spots a suspicious lesion, it’s likely you will be referred to a skin specialist or skin cancer doctor for diagnosis. At MoleMap, we have invested in the latest research and empower our team with the newest technology. Our skin cancer clinics are run by melanog­ra­phers—health professionals with additional train­ing in the ear­ly detec­tion of melanoma and other skin cancers. Using AI technology and our world-class database of images, atypical lesions are imaged and assessed for signs of skin cancer.  Images of any atypical lesions are sent electronically to an accredited dermatologist for diagnosis. This ensures high-level accuracy and streamlines your journey to treatment—if needed.

What services does a skin cancer clinic offer?

Most skin cancer clinics perform comprehensive skin assessments, education on skin cancer prevention, biopsies, as well as skin cancer treatment. If skin cancer treatment is not provided, they can refer to an appropriate medical professional. Several MoleMap skin check clinics offer skin cancer treatment. At MoleMap Merivale (Christchurch) we provide skin cancer treatment. Talk to one of our friendly staff to find out more. Call us on 0800 665 362 or book your skin check online.

What’s the cost of a skin cancer check in Christchurch?

There are many factors that determine the price of a skin check. This includes which provider you choose, and the type of skin check. Some skin check costs depend on the number of moles you have checked. At our skin cancer clinic in Christchurch, all our services include a full head-to-toe skin check, dermoscopic imaging, and dermatologist diagnosis.

Full Body MoleMap is our most comprehensive skin and mole check service. This includes full body imaging, individual mole mapping, and ongoing, proactive skin monitoring. It provides you with a baseline of images. These can be used as a reference for future skin checks. Full Body MoleMap is recommended for anyone with a medi­um to high risk of get­ting melanoma.

SkinCheck is ideal for people at low risk or who have spotted a new or changing mole. NOTE: There's the option to have it with (SkinCheck+) or without total body imaging.
