Have you noticed a changing mole, new spot, or skin lesion that concerns you?
At Aventus Clinic, we offer private skin cancer screening and lesion assessments carried out by GMC-registered dermatologists and surgeons.
Our specialists perform a thorough skin check using dermoscopy and expert examination to identify any suspicious lesions early. If needed, we provide clear guidance on next steps, including biopsy, surgical removal of suitable non-melanoma lesions, or referral into the NHS skin cancer pathway. No referral is required, and appointments are available quickly at our Hitchin clinic.
Get fast access to skin cancer screening with our GMC-registered dermatologists and surgeons. We assess any mole or suspicious lesion using dermoscopy and expert examination, helping you identify concerns early and avoid long NHS waiting times.
If your lesion is suitable for private treatment – such as a mole, BCC, SCC, or other non-melanoma concern. We offer precise, minimally invasive removal under local anaesthetic. Procedures are typically quick and well-tolerated, with little downtime.
Following your screening or procedure, we provide clear aftercare guidance and support. We explain your results, discuss any histology findings if a sample was taken, and advise on next steps — whether that’s routine monitoring, further treatment, or referral into the NHS pathway if required.
Comprehensive, doctor-led assessment of moles, sun-damaged skin, and suspicious lesions.
Upload clear photos of any mole or skin lesion using our secure form. A specialist reviews your images within 24 hours and advises whether an in-clinic skin cancer screening is recommended. This quick, confidential step provides reassurance and helps you understand the most appropriate next move.
If an in-person examination is needed, you’ll attend our Hitchin clinic for a full, consultant-led skin check. Using dermoscopy and expert clinical assessment, your specialist examines all areas of concern and provides clear, same-day feedback on your results.
After your assessment, your clinician explains whether the lesion is benign, requires monitoring, should be removed, or needs further investigation such as a biopsy. You’ll receive clear guidance, treatment options where appropriate, and supportive aftercare so you know exactly what happens next.

Regular skin screening allows specialists to examine moles and skin lesions using dermoscopy to detect early signs of skin cancer, including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Early detection improves treatment options and outcomes, especially for new or changing lesions. Those with fair skin, many moles, sun exposure, or a family history of skin cancer benefit most from private screening, offering reassurance quickly without a referral.
Skin cancer screening is a doctor-led examination designed to detect early signs of skin cancer, including melanoma, basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. During a screening, your clinician checks your entire skin surface for suspicious moles, new lesions or changes in existing marks. Early detection significantly improves outcomes, which is why screening is recommended if you notice a changing mole, new lesion, or have risk factors such as fair skin, sun exposure, or a family history of skin cancer.
At Aventus Clinic, mole checks include a thorough visual examination supported by dermoscopy, a magnified, light-based tool that allows specialists to see beneath the skin’s surface. Each mole or lesion is assessed for features linked with early melanoma or pre-cancerous change. Any concerning area is documented, imaged and monitored or recommended for biopsy or removal if clinically necessary.
Your appointment begins with a brief medical history, followed by a full-body skin examination carried out by a GMC-registered specialist. The doctor inspects all moles, freckles and lesions, paying close attention to any that have changed in size, shape, colour or texture. If a mole appears suspicious, your clinician will explain the findings immediately and discuss whether removal, monitoring or further testing is the best next step.
Most screenings require no aftercare unless a mole is removed or biopsied on the same day. If a procedure is carried out, your doctor provides clear aftercare instructions, including how to care for the area, what to avoid, and when to return for review. You’ll also receive personalised skin health advice, including sun protection and self-monitoring guidance.
Screening
At Aventus Clinic, our specialists provide thorough assessment and early detection of all common types of skin cancer, including melanoma and non-melanoma. Each consultation is tailored to your needs, with expert guidance on monitoring, biopsy, or treatment.
BCC is the most common skin cancer in the UK, often appearing as a small, shiny bump, sore, or patch that may crust or bleed.
SCC usually presents as a firm, red nodule or scaly patch, commonly on sun-exposed areas like the face, neck, or hands.
Melanoma is less common but more serious, appearing as a dark, irregular mole or lesion.

Private skin cancer screening is suitable for:
If you observe any unusual changes in your skin, book a consultation at our London or Hertfordshire clinics.
If you are at higher risk, annual screening is recommended. For those at lower risk, it can be done every 1–2 years or when changes in moles or skin occur.
You cannot completely prevent skin cancer, but protecting skin from excessive sun exposure, using sunscreen, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding tanning beds reduces risk.
Watch for asymmetry, irregular borders, colour changes, increasing size, itching, bleeding, or sores that do not heal. These can be early signs of melanoma or non-melanoma skin cancers.
Routine examination is painless. Procedures such as biopsy or removal may cause minor discomfort, temporary redness, or swelling.
Screening can detect most visible skin cancers, including melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. Internal or very early microscopic cancers may not be detected.
Contact your GP or a private dermatologist immediately. Early assessment is essential for any new or changing skin lesion.
Yes, many UK private clinics including Aventus Clinic allow direct booking for skin cancer screening without needing a GP referral, offering faster access than NHS appointments.
A screening is a comprehensive full-body assessment for early detection of skin cancer. Routine mole checks may be limited to specific areas or concern spots only.
