How Our Mole Check Process Works:
Three simple steps to get started with us.
Arrive At Our Clinic For Your Check
When you arrive at our clinic for your check, you will be greeted by a friendly member of our team. You will be taken through to our patient waiting area with comfortable seating and complimentary drinks.

You will be taken to our private treatment room, where a professional will assess your moles and medical history. Our expert will explain each step, ensuring you are comfortable and informed throughout your visit.
Diagnosis And Treatment
After your examination, our specialist will discuss the findings with you in detail. If any moles are identified as suspicious, we will recommend the appropriate course of action, which may include mole removal or further testing.
When Should You Get Your Moles Checked?
Regularly checking your moles is crucial for early detection of skin cancer, including melanoma skin cancer, which develops from skin cells called melanocytes. Skin cancer particularly melanoma, is a serious concern as it is a common cancer that can become life threatening. It’s essential to distinguish between harmless moles and atypical moles, as the latter can be indicative of cancerous moles. If you notice changes in the size, shape, or colour of your moles, it’s important to seek a skin cancer screening promptly.
Individuals with a family history of skin cancer or those with an increased risk should be especially vigilant about scheduling regular checkups. While many moles are harmless, a professional evaluation can help determine if mole removal or further testing is necessary. Our clinic offers convenient options to book an appointment online for a comprehensive skin cancer screening, ensuring you stay proactive about your skin health.
What Happens After Your Mole Check
After your mole check, some patients may require further testing if a mole is deemed suspicious, while others might opt for mole removal for cosmetic or medical reasons.
Mole Histology Checks
If a mole is identified as suspicious during your check, we may recommend a histology test. This involves removing the mole and sending it to a lab for detailed analysis. Histology checks help us accurately diagnose potential issues and determine the best course of action for your treatment and follow-up care.
Mole Removal
For patients considering mole removal, whether for cosmetic or medical reasons, our clinic offers professional and safe procedures. Performed by qualified specialists, mole removal can help address aesthetic concerns and prevent potential health risks, providing you with peace of mind and improved skin health.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I notice skin changes or new moles?
If you observe any skin changes, such as new moles or changes in the appearance of existing moles, it’s important to get your moles checked by a specialist. Early detection through regular mole checks can help identify suspicious moles and reduce the risk of skin cancer.
How can I tell if a mole is suspicious?
You can use the ABCDE rule to identify suspicious moles: Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Colour variation, Diameter larger than 6mm, and Evolving shape or size. If you notice any of these signs, schedule an appointment with a dermatologist for a thorough examination.
What happens during a mole check at your clinic?
During a mole check, a qualified doctor or nurse will examine your moles using a magnifying glass to check for any suspicious features. They will assess the colour, shape, and size of your moles, and may recommend further testing or removal if necessary.
Is mole removal only for cosmetic reasons?
Mole removal can be performed for both cosmetic and medical reasons. While some patients opt for removal to improve their appearance, others may need to have suspicious or cancerous moles removed to prevent the development of melanoma, one of the most common cancers.
How often should I have my moles checked?
It's advisable to have your moles checked annually, or more frequently if you have a history of skin cancer, new moles appearing, or changes in existing moles. Regular checks help in early detection and treatment, reducing the risk of serious skin conditions. Schedule your next review with our clinic to stay proactive about your skin health.
