Mole checks In London

We use the world-class FotoFinder ATBM Master 4th Generation, which combines high-res images, RAW-processed photos, and advanced image processing. This allows us to see any skin lesions in incredible detail, so we can map, score and identify any areas of concern immediately. 

If any of your moles need removing, we’ll offer you a priority appointment to have a biopsy, and send it to our specialist laboratory for analysis. We use one of the best premium pathology services in the UK, with industry-leading turnaround times to ensure your peace of mind.

Once your moles have been mapped, they are recorded on our system. At every follow-up mole check in London, our FotoFinder Automated Total Body Photography Master (ATBM) scanner with AI technology quickly compares and measures your existing moles on one screen, sorting them into new, changed, and unchanged. Our Consultant Dermatologists are then able to quickly identify any atypical lesions, and provide you with a detailed report.

Such powerful technology increases detection accuracy, reduces examination time for you and prioritises any unusual-looking moles.

• One of our trained nurses will take you through a medical history questionnaire
• Using the FotoFinder ATBM they will take a series of full-body images. This usually takes around ten minutes
• They will also take up to three close-up images of particular moles that you’re concerned about
• Your images are then sent to one of our highly skilled Consultant Dermatologists to assess
• You’ll receive an initial email report within 2 working days. If everything looks fine, you’re good to go
• If you have many atypical moles, we’ll invite you for a second scan in a year’s time to check for changes
• Should we spot any unusual moles, we’ll offer you a priority appointment to see one of our Consultant Dermatologists at the clinic

We recommend that you do a top-to-toe self-check of your skin every three months or so. This way you can get to know your skin and learn to spot anything unusual. Using a hand mirror is beneficial for those tricky-to-see areas. 

What to look for:

• The ‘ABCDE’ of moles: Asymmetry, an irregular border, changes to colour, diameter or a mole’s evolution over time

Also look for: 

• A mole that is changing in shape, size or colour
• A scaly or crusty area of skin with a red, inflamed base
• A scab that bleeds and tends not to heal properly
• A new lump with a pearly, translucent rim that surrounds a central crater

Some people have many moles, and this often runs in families. Having lots of moles increases the risk of melanoma (a skin cancer), and if they are quite large (5mm diameter or more in size) you should see a dermatologist to assess your risk, especially if you have a family history of melanoma.

If you have many moles that remain into old age, you may need a skin check-up, as this could suggest that you are more prone to melanoma.

We may advise that a mole needs to be removed and sent for analysis if we’re concerned about it. 99% of the time, your dermatologist can do the procedure in our clinic. It’s a minor surgery, takes approximately 30 minutes under local anaesthetic, and we’ll always ensure you’re as comfortable as possible. All our dermatologists are very experienced in these procedures.

We then send the mole to our specialist laboratory for analysis, with most results available within five working days. Our Consultant Dermatologist will email your results in a report. If we have a concern, we’ll arrange a face-to-face appointment.
