This includes full body imaging and ongoing, proactive skin monitoring. It is recommended for anyone at medi­um to high risk of melanoma.

Mole mapping is a complete surveillance system to detect melanoma and other skin cancers early. It includes full body photography to 'map' out every mole on your skin. This gives you a baseline record to help  you compare and monitor moles over time. Having a reference makes it easier to detect changes and spot skin cancer early—when it’s most treatable. 

While anyone can book mole mapping (included in our Full Body Mole Map service), it is especially useful for those at higher risk of skin cancer. This includes peo­ple with:

• More than 100+ moles on their body
• A pre­vi­ous his­to­ry of skin cancer
• A fam­i­ly his­to­ry of skin cancer
• Fair skin that burns easily
• A high num­ber of unusu­al look­ing moles
• An out­door lifestyle

Before attending your appointment at one of our mole check clinics in Perth, it’s a great idea to do an at-home skin check. Be sure to note any spots of concern. At your mole check perth you’ll need to undress down to your underwear. (Don’t worry, your modesty will be protected.) It’s best to wear clothing that’s easy to remove. Remove any make-up and avoid using fake-tan or nail polish before your visit.

Haven’t visited one of our skin cancer clinics in Perth before? That’s okay. Our friendly melanographers will ensure you feel relaxed throughout your appointment.

In some instances Medicare may cover part of the cost of a skin check. For example, skin checks provided by GPs are claimable through Medicare. While a GP will examine moles of concern, depending on their skills and training, they may refer you to a dermatologist for diagnosis. Generally, this won’t be covered by Medicare. 

MoleMap skin checks on the other hand are performed by melanrographers. (Healthcare professionals 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 Perth, so you can break down the cost of your skin assessment into four manageable, interest-free installments.

Common types of skin cancer include:

• Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) – usually caused by long-term sun exposure, often appearing on sun-exposed areas like the face, neck, and shoulders. Learn more about the signs and who’s at risk of basal cell carcinoma.
• Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) – typically found on areas such as the hands, scalp, and ears, and also linked to cumulative sun damage. Find out how to protect yourself against squamous cell carcinoma.
• Melanoma – the most serious form, which can develop anywhere on the body, even in areas not exposed to the sun

A whole body skin cancer screening at MoleMap Perth can help detect these cancers early, increasing the chance of successful treatment.
