Skin Check PLUS+
Skin Check Plus+ combines a comprehensive skin examination with Spot & Targeted Skin Check and Total Body Photography to provide an advanced approach to skin health. Using high-resolution imaging, digital mole mapping, and clinical assessment, this service is designed to improve the early detection and ongoing monitoring of skin cancer.
Skin Check Plus+ is an advanced skin assessment that combines a targeted clinical examination with Total Body Photography (TBP). During your appointment, high-resolution photographs of your entire skin surface are captured to create a permanent baseline record, while your doctor carefully assesses any spots or lesions of concern.
This combination allows for more accurate monitoring of your skin over time by identifying new lesions and detecting subtle changes in existing moles that may not be obvious during routine examinations.
• Your doctor will discuss your medical history and any skin concerns. • A targeted Spot & Targeted Skin Check will be performed on any lesions or areas you are concerned about. • High-resolution Total Body Photography images are captured to establish your personalised baseline for future monitoring. • Suspicious lesions may be examined using dermatoscopy where appropriate. • Your doctor will explain the findings and recommend any further monitoring, biopsy, or treatment if required.

Dermatoscopy magnifies lesions to distinguish benign from suspicious, while digital mole imaging stores high-resolution images for tracking changes over time.
