We take images of your mole or skin lesion using a specialist, medical grade camera called a ‘Dermascope’. It uses light and magnification to help dermatologists see how your skin looks in more details than you would be able to see with a naked eye or normal camera. The detailed images will make it easier to spot abnormalities that may require further investigation or diagnostic tests.

During a consultation in clinic we will ask you some questions about your skin history and skin lesion. Once we’ve taken the images, we will send them to Map My Mole for review. Map my Mole is a third party service provider we use to obtain an indicicative opinion from a UK consultant dermatologist egarding your mole or skin lesion. The consultant will review the images and prepare a detailed report for us within 48 hours. The consultants report does not give a diagnosis but can help us identify a suspicious mole or lesion that may need further investigation and we can then advise you on the next steps.
