Need a Skin Cancer Check? Our Mole Check Melbourne Experts Await

Moles are a common part of everyone’s skin, regardless of skin type or skin health. Generally, everyone is born with a few moles, but moles can develop over time depending on a large range of factors.

A big contributing factor to the development of moles is the excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which Australia features very high levels of. While these moles can start as benign, developing skin cancer from these moles in Australia is very common. One in two Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer by the age of 70, and those with fair skin are at even greater risk.

It is recommended that each Australian receives a regular full-body skin check, regardless of whether you think you have suspicious moles or not. At Avatar Imaging we use state-of-the-art technology to provide you with a comprehensive mole check. Stay on top of your skin health by booking an appointment with us today.

Avatar Imaging’s mole scan is a non-invasive procedure involving a detailed skin examination using either a 3D Skin Cancer Scanner, a Dermoscan or both. 

If choosing the Skin Scanner, this involves you stepping into the Vectra WB360 machine. This tool will complete your mole mapping in just 3 seconds. From this skin cancer scan, we can identify whether your moles show evidence of melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or basal cell carcinoma.

Another option available at Avatar Imaging for mole checks is the use of the Dermoscan. This is an instrument that magnifies and illuminates the skin, highlighting a detailed view of the many moles on your body. We recommend that you undertake a full body skin scan with us to get the best results from your skin cancer mole check.

With the amount of sun we get every day, regularly having a skin check for skin cancers is essential. Skin cancers account for the most common type of cancer worldwide, and in regions with high sun exposure like Australia, this increases the chance of your moles potentially carrying skin cancer.

Allow Avatar Imaging to ease your mind and ensure you have thorough full-body skin checks. Our full-body mole mapping service gives you full access to the images and reporting from your skin check to assist with the early detection of skin cancer in suspicious moles.

Our services should be used in addition to regular health checks. Your dedicated General Practitioner will be able to give you a definite skin cancer diagnosis with the information from your moles scan after your skin check appointment with us. They will then be able to recommend treatment if further attention is required.

The frequency of your skin cancer check depends on the individual. If you have a high risk of most skin cancers, you may need a skin check annually, whereas, if you have fewer risk factors of skin cancer, skin checks can occur every few years.

As part of your consultation for your total body mole mapping, we will discuss your prior health history. Additionally, your general practitioner can provide you with an estimate of how often you will need a full-body skin check.

No, Avatar Imaging’s full-body mole mapping is an imaging, analysis, and report-writing service only. All of your results will be shared with you and your nominated healthcare practitioner to take the next treatment steps whether that is cosmetic mole removal or another available treatment.
