Professional Mole Checks in Beaconsfield, Gerrards Cross and Amersham
At Skin Revision, we offer a professional mole check and mole mapping service in Beaconsfield using medical imagery and dermoscopic technology to assess suspicious moles and any skin lesions. If you are unsure whether a mole is benign or changing in shape or colour, our clinic provides a fast and reliable alternative to waiting weeks for a GP appointment.
What happens during your Mole check appointment in Beaconsfield?
During your appointment, we perform a dermoscopic mole examination to closely examine and image the skin lesion. This non-invasive dermoscope magnifies the mole and captures detailed digital images. The images are immediately digitally sent across for analysis and further investigation by our Beaconsfield dermatologists. The moles are mole-mapped and checked before a detailed written report is sent back to the client and the skin clinic via email.
What type of Mole should you be wary of?
At Skin Revision and our associate dermatologists, we would generally recommend the ABCDE method to identify moles that might be suspicious. If a mole shows any of these traits, then it is worth speaking to us and our dermatologists to get the quickest and most affordable analysis to show that the mole is either benign or needs further investigation, as to whether it is cancerous, pre-malignant or basle cell carcinoma
Asymmetry: One half of the mole doesn’t match the other.
Border: The edges are irregular, ragged, notched, or blurred.
Colour: The colour is not the same all over; it may include shades of brown or black, or sometimes patches of pink, red, white, or blue.
Diameter: The spot is larger than 6 mm across (about the size of a pencil eraser), although melanomas can sometimes be smaller.
Evolving: The mole is changing in size, shape, or color, or it starts to itch, bleed, or crust.
“Ugly Duckling Sign” – very often a suspicious mole looks different from all the other moles on your body. If one stands out as the “odd one out,” speak to us at the Skin Revision Mole Clinic immediately.
Mole Removal Options After Assessment
If the dermatology report confirms that the mole is benign, removal treatments can be safely performed at our clinic using advanced techniques such as CryoPen or Plaxel Plasma heat cauterisation treatment. These methods allow for precise removal of unwanted moles and skin lesions. It is not possible to have treatment to remove a mole or lesion on the same day as a mole check (mole mapping) at the Beaconsfield clinic, as the report from the dermatologists can take up to 24 hours.
