Looking for a skin check in WA?

In Western Australia, the cost of a skin check can vary depending on the clinic and the type of service you choose. MoleMap skin cancer clinics in WA offer three services:

• Full Body Molemap (includes mole mapping)

For the most up-to-date pricing, visit our 'Services' page.

Unfortunately, we don't bulk bill. However, some health funds may cover part or all of the cost of your skin assessment. MoleMap Skin Check WA does offer Afterpay. This allows you to spread out the cost of your skin check service into four interest-free instalments.

It really all depends on your skin needs and skin cancer risk. The following factors may increase your risk for skin cancer:

• Fair skin that burns easily
• A high number of moles
• A history of skin cancer
• Excessive UV exposure
• Previous sun damage

‍Mole mapping in WA can be beneficial, especially if you're at high risk of skin cancer. MoleMap's Full Body MoleMap combines a comprehensive skin exam with full-body photography and dermatologist diagnosis. The digital photographs create a baseline reference of your skin—so you can track, compare and monitor your skin over time. This helps to spot skin cancer early, when treatment is most successful. 

Common warning signs of skin cancer include:

• A new or changing mole or spot
• A sore that doesn't heal
• A lump or growth that’s red, scaly, or crusted
• Spots that itch, bleed, or become tender

Look out for melanoma symptoms using the ABCDEs guide:
Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Colour variation, Diameter over 6mm, and Evolving shape or size.

If you notice anything unusual, book a professional WA skin cancer check straight away. Early detection is key to effective skin cancer treatment.

Australia has some of the highest rates of skin cancer globally. An annual visit to one of our WA skin cancer clinics (Eaton or Subiaco) can help ensure early diagnosis of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers and timely treatment. It's also a good idea to regularly (every 3 months) check your skin at home to help protect your skin health. Read our guide to at-home skin exams for tips on how to spot changes early.

MoleMap skin checks in WA and Australia-wide include a thorough skin cancer check—from your head to the soles of your feet. Our melanographers (health professionals trained in early skin cancer detection) use a dermatoscope to take a closer look at any unusual moles, lesions, or early signs of skin cancer.

Any suspicious lesions are imaged and sent electronically to a dermatologist for expert diagnosis. We’ll also talk about prevention and personalised ways to lower your skin cancer risk through smart skin care and sun protection.

Treatment options depend on the type of skin cancer, stage, and how early it’s detected. The most common treatment is surgery, where cancerous cells and some surrounding tissue are removed. This is especially effective when detected early.

Other treatments may include:

• Cryotherapy (freezing the cancer)
• Topical creams for certain non melanoma skin cancers
• Radiation therapy or immunotherapy for more advanced skin cancers
• Mohs surgery, often used for squamous cell carcinoma or other cancers in sensitive areas

In most cases, a biopsy will be performed to confirm the diagnosis. Following this, your doctor will tailor treatment based on the type of skin cells affected and whether the cancer has spread. The good news is that early detection greatly improves outcomes—even for advanced skin cancers.

A few simple steps can help protect your skin from skin cancer:

• Apply broad-spectrum SPF50+ sunscreen daily
• Wear sun-protective clothing
• Seek shade during peak UV hours
• Avoid tanning beds
