Get a skin check in Geelong

At MoleMap, the cost of skin cancer screening depends on which service you choose. The Full Body MoleMap is a thorough assessment with total body imaging and proactive monitoring of 'potentially at risk' moles. Skin Check is intended for people at low risk or who have spotted a new or changing lesion. There's the option to have it with or without total body photography. Visit our services page for prices and a comparison of included features. While MoleMap services are not bulk billed, you may be able to claim part of the fee through your private health insurance.

At MoleMap Geelong, you'll be seen by a melanographer. These are registered healthcare professionals who are specially trained in early detection and imaging spots showing signs of skin cancer. During your visit, they'll discuss your skin health and history of skin cancer and advise on ways to protect your skin from skin cancer.

Skin cancer risk varies from one person to another. Key factors that can increase your risk include:

• A family history or personal history of skin cancer
• Previous skin damage
• Fair skin (skin that burns easily)
• A high number of moles
• Spending large amounts of time outdoors

Our skin cancer checks Geelong are performed by our team of melanographers, who provide patients with personalised care, ensuring you feel safe and comfortable at all times. To prepare for your visit, we recommend:

• Removing any makeup, moisturiser, tanning products, sunscreen, and nail polish beforehand.
• Wearing comfortable clothing that’s easy to remove.
• Doing a DIY skin check so you can highlight any freckles or spots of concern. of concern.

Mole Mapping (which is part of our Full Body MoleMap) uses high-resolution digital imaging to create a baseline record of moles and skin spots (AKA lesions). This helps us to track, monitor and compare moles over time. It assists with the early detection of changes that may indicate melanoma or other types of skin cancers. 

A skin check, on the other hand, is a comprehensive head-to-toe examination to check for signs and symptoms of skin cancer. It does not include a record of the placement of moles. Its main purpose is to assess the current state of the skin and identify any moles or lesions of concern. The best thing is that you get two sets of expert eyes on your skin — a melanographer’s and a dermatologist’s — for a more accurate diagnosis.

Because Australia has some of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, regular skin exams are vital to detect skin cancer in its earliest stages, when it's most treatable.
