Get a trusted skin check in Brisbane

At Brisbane skin cancer clinic, the cost of our skin check services depends on whether you opt for a SkinCheck or Full Body MoleMap. 

The Full Body MoleMap is our most comprehensive mole check service. It includes a thorough skin assessment with full body imaging, proactive monitoring of 'potentially at risk' moles, and free spot checks for 12 months.

Skin Check is intended for people at low risk or who have spotted a new or changing mole. There's the option to have it with or without full-body imaging.

Before attending your appointment at our Brisbane skin check clinic, we recommend examining your skin and noting any spots of concern. At your molescreen you’ll need to undress down to your underwear. It’s best to wear clothing that can easily be removed. It’s best not to wear make-up and to avoid using fake-tan or nail polish prior to your Brisbane mole check. 

Haven’t had a skin check in Brisbane CBD before? That’s okay. Our friendly melanographers will ensure you feel relaxed throughout your appointment.

Excessive UV exposure damages the skin’s cells and causes inflammation. Cellular damage can stop the cells from repairing properly. It can also cause the cells to mutate and become cancerous.

We know that sunburn is a leading cause in the majority of cases of basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. Protecting your skin against UV damage is one of the best ways to reduce your risk of skin cancer.

Knowing the ABCDE + EFG rule can help you to spot the early signs of melanoma.

Even with regular at-home skin checks, it’s not always easy or possible to detect signs of skin cancer. This is why we recommend an annual mole check at Brisbane skin cancer clinic.

Mole Mapping uses full body photography to map moles and lesions on your skin and give you a baseline record for future reference. This helps you to compare and monitor moles over time, making it easier to detect changes early and spot skin cancer when it’s most treatable.

Skin checks provided by GPs are claimable through Medicare. While a GP can examine any lesions of concern, depending on their experience and training, they may refer you to a dermatologist for diagnosis. Generally, this won’t be covered by Medicare. 

The benefit of booking a MoleMap skin check is that your skin exam is performed by a melanographer. (That’s a healthcare professional who’s trained in early skin cancer detection.) If a suspicious mole is detected it is imaged and sent electronically for dermatologist diagnosis. No referral needed and no extra cost. Some private health insurers may cover part of all of the cost of your MoleMap skin check. Check with your policy provider. 

‍Note: Afterpay is available at MoleMap Brisbane, so you can break the cost of your skin check into four manageable, interest-free installments.
