Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer diagnosed in Australia, but also the most treatable and preventable when detected early. Regular skin checks by qualified professionals are an important step in caring for your health.
You live with your skin every day and may not always notice if a mole is changing. Being able to compare photos of moles over time assists greatly in being able to identify potential problem moles that may require more detailed examination.
The following are the main types of appointments at Molescope
This is a quick appointment type (around 15 minutes) suitable for those with a single spot of concern (new or existing)
This appointment type is suitable for those with multiple spots of concern or those simply wanting a full body check for skin cancer.
This is a service where a nurse will take a specific series of photos to be used for comparison across time (highly recommended)
Where it is deemed a lesion should be removed, appointments can be booked with our doctors and nurses for these procedures.
