A full body mole check for peace of mind

Use our services comparison table to check out all our molescan options and compare prices. To help make covering the cost of your mole check easier, MoleMap skin cancer clinics offer a range of payment options available. Choose from Afterpay (4 x interest-free payments), credit/debit card or contact your health fund provider to enquire whether they will cover part of the cost.

The Full Body MoleMap is our most comprehensive skin check service. The appointment includes a thorough, entire-body skin assessment by a melanographer. We use dermoscopic (that is, under the skin) imaging to capture close-up images of any suspicious moles. Using AI technology, these are cross-referenced against our world-class image database. Images of moles of concern are sent electronically to an accredited dermatologist for further investigation and diagnosis.

Full body photography is an essential part of our MoleMap service. This is where we take a set of approximately 24 images of your skin. These are used as a historical ref­er­ence—to help track, compare, and monitor any new or existing moles at each follow-up appointment. A new set of reference images is taken every five years.

Your full body skin assessment and mole check will take approximately 50 minutes to complete. 

Absolutely! A regular mole check is the best way to detect skin cancer early, when it’s most treatable.

New Zealand has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world. Yet we know that with early detection and treatment most skin cancers are curable. Our mole scan service provides a baseline record of the size, shape, and location of your moles. This means you can track and monitor any changes to your moles over time. If the slightest change is spotted, it can be quickly assessed by a dermatologist.

While anyone can have a full body mole check, it’s particularly useful for people with a moderate to high risk of skin cancer. Check out your skin cancer risk now.

You’ll get to meet one of our friendly melanographers, who are spe­cial­ly trained in melanoma detec­tion and pre­ven­tion. Your skin will be thoroughly checked from head to toe. Yes, you’ll need to get down to your underwear, so as not to miss a spot. But don’t worry, your modesty will be protected, and you’ll feel completely comfortable throughout your appointment.

Your moles will be digitally photographed to create a baseline of images for future reference. Any dubious-looking moles will be dermoscopically (under the skin) imaged and sent electronically to an accredited dermatologist for further review.

See, there’s really no need to be nervous. A skin check is routine, non-invasive and pain-less. Within the following week you’ll get your full report. No referral required (unless you’re aged under 16), which means less wait time and faster results.

The type of mole check you choose will depend on your skin cancer risk (you can check that with our quick Risk Quiz) and personal need. However, a whole body mole check is a good choice if you have:

• A family or personal history of skin cancer
• A high number of moles
• Some unusual looking moles
• Sun damage

The added features of the Full Body MoleMap are:

• Total body photography. This gives you a baseline of images to compare at future skin examinations
• Proactive monitoring of moles and benign lesions (in case of change) for added reassurance
