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?

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.
