Dermoscopy Mole Evaluation
Expert mole assessment with high-resolution dermoscopy
Dermoscopy allows our dermatologists to visualise subsurface skin structures using polarised or contact light, dramatically improving the accuracy of mole and lesion assessment compared to the naked eye — giving patients clarity about which lesions are safe and which require removal.
Regular dermoscopic mole mapping is recommended for patients with multiple moles, a family history of melanoma or a history of sunburn — enabling early detection when skin cancers are most treatable.
Key Benefits
