Expert Skin Assessment for Your Peace of Mind
Mole Checks
Mole checks are essential for maintaining healthy skin and detecting potential concerns early. At our clinic, we provide thorough skin examinations using advanced diagnostic tools, ensuring that any changes to your moles are identified and addressed promptly. Our doctor-led approach combines clinical expertise with compassionate care, offering you confidence in your skin health.
Understanding Mole Checks
A comprehensive mole check involves examining your skin for any unusual growths, colour changes, or irregular borders that may require further attention. During your appointment, our experienced practitioner will assess existing moles and identify any new developments. This proactive service is vital for early detection of skin abnormalities, allowing for timely intervention when necessary.
We utilise dermoscopy technology to examine moles in greater detail, providing accurate assessments that support your long-term wellbeing.
Your Mole Check Journey
Your journey towards refreshed, revitalised skin follows a carefully structured pathway designed for optimal results.
Initial Consultation and Skin History
Your visit begins with a detailed discussion about your skin health, including any changes you've observed and your medical background. We take time to understand your concerns and explain what the assessment will involve.
Comprehensive Skin Examination
Our practitioner conducts a thorough visual inspection of your entire body, checking for any suspicious lesions or irregular features. We use dermoscopy to examine moles with enhanced clarity, allowing us to assess characteristics that aren't visible to the naked eye.
Assessment and Recommendations
Following your examination, we discuss our findings and provide clear guidance on any moles requiring further monitoring or referral. If necessary, we can arrange appropriate next steps, including specialist consultations or biopsy procedures.
Aftercare and Ongoing Monitoring
We provide personalised advice on skin protection and self-monitoring techniques to help you stay vigilant between appointments. Regular follow-up checks can be scheduled according to your individual risk profile, ensuring continuous oversight of your skin health.
Who Would Benefit from Mole Checks
Mole checks are suitable for anyone concerned about changes to their skin or those with a family history of skin conditions. Individuals with numerous moles, fair skin, or significant sun exposure should consider regular assessments. This service is also valuable for those who have noticed alterations in size, shape, or colour of existing moles. Whether you’re seeking routine monitoring or addressing specific concerns, our clinic provides expert evaluation tailored to your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have a mole check?
The frequency depends on your individual risk factors, but generally, an annual check is recommended for most people. Those with higher risk profiles may benefit from more frequent assessments, which we can discuss during your consultation.
What should I look out for between appointments?
Monitor your moles for changes in size, shape, colour, or texture. The ABCDE rule is helpful: Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Colour variation, Diameter over 6mm, and Evolution over time. If you notice any of these changes, contact us promptly.
Is the examination uncomfortable?
Not at all. The assessment is entirely non-invasive and pain-free. Dermoscopy involves placing a specialised device gently against your skin to magnify and illuminate the area being examined.
What happens if a concerning mole is identified?
We will explain your options clearly and arrange appropriate referrals if specialist intervention is required. Our priority is ensuring you receive the right care promptly whilst providing reassurance and support throughout the process.
