What is NAEVUS mole mapping?
During a full body mole map, our dermoscopists use a fotofinder machine, to capture high-resolution images of your moles, which we can then use to compare changes in your moles over time.
Why choose mole mapping?
- Double reporting – your moles will be checked by both our dermoscopists and our doctors to assess each imaged mole and provide your individual cancer risk
- One or many – mapping your entire body allows us to map one or multiple moles
- Quick turnaround – the results will be with you either on the same day or within 5 working days
- No unnecessary mole removals
- Take your images home – for new patient assessments Total Body Imaging is included in the price of your consultation, for existing NAEVUS patients we can image your body and you can take your images home on a flash drive for an additional fee.
How long does it take?
Approximately 1 hour for the first appointment, follow-up appointments vary from 10 to 60 minutes, 90 minutes if TBI included.
What happens at your NAEVUS mole mapping or TBI appointment?
During the visit, you will be required to undress, as it is important to see as much of your skin as possible to capture as many visible moles as we can. Your privacy will always be maintained, and you will not be asked to remove your underwear.
If you have any moles or spots you would like checked that are covered by your underwear, please let us know.
We can have a chaperone available for your appointment should you wish to have one. You are also very welcome to bring a support person with you.
