PROACTIVE SKIN CARE: PROTECTING YOUR HEALTH< ONE MOLE AT A TIME
Incorporating regular mole checks into your health check routine is a simple, yet vital step in maintaining you're wellbeing. It is a proactive approach to health, ensuring early detection and treatment of potential skin issues and giving you peace of mind.
With this in mind, I offer a mole/skin lesion assessment service through my partnership with Map My Mole.
Modern dermatology has advanced significantly, with technologies like dermoscopy and digital mole mapping improving the accuracy of mole assessments. These tools allow professionals like myself (who has successfully completed the Map My Mole training and assessment) to examine moles in greater detail and accurately track changes over time.
Prices start at £60 for a consultation and mapping of one mole,
For mapping upto 3 moles plus consultation £90

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW ARE THE IMAGES TAKEN
Images will be taken of your mole or skin lesion using a specialist, medical grade camera called a "dermoscope". The dermoscope uses light and magnification to help me see how your skin looks in more detail than you would be able to see with the naked eye or normal camera. The detailed images will make it easier to spot abnormalities that may require further investigation or diagnostic tests.
WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH THE IMAGES?
Once I've taken images of your mole, I will send them to Map My Mole for review. Map My Mole is a third party service provider I use to obtain an indicative opinion from a Consultant Dermatologist regarding your mole or skin lesion. The consultant will review the images and prepare a report within 48 hours so I can advise you on next steps.
WHAT INFORMATION WILL YOU SHARE WITH MAP MY MOLE
We need to send some of your personal information, including your name, contact details and some medical information (including the images we take of your mole) to Map My Mole, when we submit the images for review.
WHEN WILL I GET THE RESULTS
Images are usually reviewed within 48 hours after we submit them for review. We can request that a copy of the report be sent to you as soon as it's ready, and we will contact you to discuss the report with you once we have received it.
WILL MAP MY MOLE BE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE CANCER FROM THE IMAGES?
It is not possible to diagnose any cancer from the images, as a formal diagnosis requires a biopsy (sample removed under anaesthetic). However, the consultant dermatologist's report can help us identify a suspicious mole or lesion that might need further investigation such as a biopsy.
