The importance of skin Checks in Australia
Sun exposure is the cause of around 99% of non-melanoma skin cancers and 95% of melanomas in Australia. Regular skin checks by a specialist skin cancer screening doctor is recommended to help catch any potential problems as early as possible.
What is mole mapping?
A mole map is a medical record which records an image and the location of lesions and/or moles, or dark spots on the human body
What does mole mapping involve?
Mole mapping involves a specialized computer taking photos of your entire body and then combining these photos into a complete image of your body to record the location and size of your moles. This baseline image is then compared to your whole body photograph during your follow-up visit.
How long will it take and what to expect?
A Mole map Skin Check takes around 30 minutes, and you can expect a Full Body Follow-up to take around 45 minutes
How to prepare for a mole mapping?
Dry skin can make spots harder to examine. We recommend that you keep your skin well moisturised. Ideally, you should moisturise any dry areas daily for a week or so before your skin check.
Your entire body is put under examination from head to toe by our specialised doctor for any suspicious spots. The aim of the screening is to find and examine all moles and freckles that may be cancerous, precancerous or otherwise potentially likely to be a health risk. Early detection typically makes for a much easier treatment outcome.
The technology and machines we use is to photograph, analyse and look for changes in your skin in a period of time. By taking photographs and examining them allows us to detect early skin cancers that might have been missed therefore reducing the struggles of unnecessary biopsy procedures.

What is Cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy, also known as cold therapy is the general use of low temperature to treat a variety of tissue lesions. Doctors use it to treat many skin conditions (including warts and skin tags) and some cancers, including prostate, cervical and liver cancer.
Who should not use cryotherapy?
If you have any of these conditions you are not able to do cryotherapy:
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is the invisible killer that you can’t see or feel. UV radiation can be high even on cool and overcast days. This means you can’t rely on clear skies or high temperatures to determine when you need to protect yourself from the sun. The UV Index is reported daily by the Bureau of Meteorology. The alert identifies times during the day when the UV level is 3 or above and sun protection is needed. We recommend that you apply sunscreen everyday and especially on days when the UV Index is forecast to be 3 or above.
