Skin Assessment and Mapping:

• Hobart Skin Cancer Clinic uses the state of the art MoleMax skin cancer detection system which is used around the world.

• In your first visit images of your skin surface will be taken using a high-definition digital MoleMax HD camera.

• The images will then be stored within the MoleMax software program, the full body foundation mapping procedure takes around thirty minutes.

• The images are magnified 30x and, using a special polarised light, the detailed structure of the lesion or mole can be seen.

• Early changes to your skin can be detected as the image is enlarged to fill the entire monitor screen.

• The MoleMax HD system enables the doctor to visually compare a current series of images against the previous images taken to identify changes or the development of new lesions.

• The comparison of moles using this system results in fewer unnecessary removals.

• Images can be transferred to a USB drive to take with you if moving interstate or overseas.

• Single spot checks are also available using the MoleMax HD technology.

Treatment Options:

• Some spots on the skin may not require any immediate treatment and with regular skin checks any changes can be monitored. If a spot, freckle, mole or lesion does require treatment, please refer to the examples below.

• Should lesions require treatment the use of Cryotherapy (dry ice) may be required. Alternatively topical therapy (creams/lotions) may be considered effective.

• Should a lesion or mole require removal, our skilled medical practitioners are able to undertake these procedures. These procedures may range from simple excision and suturing to excision and skin graft/skin flap repairs.
