Mole Mapping &
Total Body Photography
Gold Coast
A visual reference of your skin today, so we can detect new or changing lesions earlier.
Doctor-led photography and digital dermoscopic monitoring for selected patients at increased risk of melanoma.
High-quality images of your skin surface create a valuable reference.
Digital dermoscopy allows us to monitor selected moles in greater detail.
Comparing with your baseline helps us identify new or subtle changes earlier.
Imaging supports, but does not replace, expert clinical assessment and judgement.
We review your history. risk factors and concerns to determine if mole mapping is appropriate for you.
Standardised photographs capture your skin from multiple angles in our specialised system.
Selected moles are examined with dermoscopy and digitally recorded.
Your images are securely stored to create a baseline for future comparison
We review your skin and compare with your baseline at recommended intervals.
Mole mapping may be recommended if you have:
√ A high number of moles
√ Atypical or dysplastic moles
√ Previous melanoma
√ Multiple melanomas
√ A family history of melanoma
√ Difficulty monitoring your skin
√ Other factors that increase melanoma
Taken with a standard camera:
Limited angles
Variable lighting
Lower resolution
Not ideal for comparison
Less detail of individual moles
Specialised total-body system
Standardised lighting & angles
High-resolution images
Designed for comparison over time

Not everyone does. Mole mapping may be useful if you have many or atypical moles, a previous melanoma, or other significant melanoma risk factors.
Not exactly. Total-body photography records the skin surface, while mole mapping may also include digital dermoscopic images of selected moles for closer comparison over time.
It can help identify new or changing lesions that may need closer assessment, but it does not diagnose melanoma by itself. Suspicious lesions still require clinical assessment and, when indicated, biopsy and histopathology.
It depends on your individual risk and findings. Higher-risk patients may be reviewed every 3–6 months, while selected lesions may sometimes be monitored at shorter intervals.
Medicare may provide a rebate for an eligible medical consultation, but there is no general Medicare benefit specifically for total-body photography or mole mapping itself. Your out-of-pocket cost depends on the service provided.
