Mole & Lesion Screening
From £70

We will take images of your mole or skin lesion using a specialist, medical grade camera called a “dermoscope”. It uses light and magnification to help a dermatologist see how your skin looks in more detail than you would be able to see with a naked eye or normal camera. The detailed images will make it easier to spot abnormalities that may require further investigation or diagnostic tests.

The consultant will review the images and prepare a report for us so we can advise you on next steps.

Images are usually reviewed within 48 hours after we submit them for review, but it may take longer than that. We can request that a copy of the report will be sent to you as soon as it’s ready, otherwise it will be sent to MediSkin Clinic, and we will contact you to discuss the report with you once we have received it.

If a concerning mole is imaged the dermatologist will inform the patient providing them with a report that can be sent to their GP to speed up any referral. 

It’s important that you understand that it is not possible to diagnose any cancer from images, and a formal diagnosis requires a biopsy (sample removed under anaesthetic) and histological assessment. However, the consultant’s report can help us identify a suspicious mole that might need further investigation such as a biopsy.

If you’re concerned about your mole or skin lesion, you should speak to your GP or another medical professional as soon as possible so that they can carry out further tests if needed.
