Early detection. Peace of mind. Premium care.
Every mole, freckle, and growth on your skin is part of its territory. And whilst most of these skin growths are benign and harmless, some can be a warning signal that requires much closer attention. Here at The Health Suite Leicester, we take skin health seriously, which is why we offer advanced mole mapping through our state-of-the-art service designed to detect potential skin issues as early as possible.
Here in the UK, rates of skin cancer are rising each year, which is why regular skin check-ups aren’t an optional healthcare add-on; they’re imperative. Early detection is life-saving. With mole mapping, we combine the most advanced imaging technology – including high-resolution imaging and dermoscopic analysis- with consultant-led expertise, to give you the utmost confidence and control over your skin health.
Why Skin Health Deserves More Attention
For most of us, getting our skin checked isn’t high on the list of health priorities. It’s not because skin health doesn’t matter, but more often because people don’t realise just how important it is.
Here’s the reality:
- Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the UK.
- Rates of melanoma – the most serious form – have more than doubled since the 1990s.
- When spotted early, melanoma has a survival rate of over 90%. But if it’s found late, that number drops dramatically.
One of the biggest challenges is that skin changes tend to happen slowly. A mole that looks completely harmless today might, over months or years, develop into something more worrying. These gradual changes can be easy to miss with the naked eye.
That’s where mole mapping makes a real difference. By creating a detailed photographic record of your skin, our clinicians can track every mole and mark over time. Even the smallest changes are picked up, giving you peace of mind and the reassurance that nothing is overlooked.
What is Mole Mapping?
Using advanced skin monitoring techniques, mole mapping goes beyond a standard skin check. Much like the name suggests, we capture high-resolution images of your entire body, creating a comprehensive, visual record or “map” of your skin.
This allows us to:
- Track every mole and pigment change over time
- Detect subtle variations that might otherwise be overlooked
- Provide you with a personalised report and expert insights
- Establish a baseline for ongoing annual or bi-annual monitoring
At The Health Suite Leicester, we integrate this technology with consultant-led expertise, ensuring you receive both precision diagnostics and personalised clinical guidance.
The Mole Mapping Process at The Health Suite Leicester
A mole mapping skin check is a straightforward process, but we understand it can feel worrying if you’ve noticed a new mole or change in your skin.
At The Health Suite in Leicester, we make protecting your skin health as stress-free as possible. Our approach blends the comfort of private care with advanced medical technology, giving you accurate results and peace of mind.
Step 1: Comprehensive Skin Scan
Right here in the comfort and privacy of our clinic, we begin by taking high-resolution and full-body images of your skin with our advanced scanning systems. Every mark, mole and freckle is documented in detail, which gives us a clear baseline for future comparisons.
This process is always done with professionalism and the utmost respect.
Step 2: Detailed Dermoscopic Analysis
Some changes just aren’t visible to the naked eye, and this is why we use dermoscopic technology, which is highly specialised imaging revealing the structures beneath the skin’s surface.
It allows our clinicians to:
- Examine individual moles in exceptional detail that would otherwise be missed
- Identify features that may indicate early melanoma or other skin cancers
- Differentiate between harmless moles and those requiring closer monitoring
Step 3: Personalised Skin Health Report
Following your assessment, we provide you with a fully detailed digital report, which is stored securely for your reference, and it includes:
- High-resolution images of your skin
- Visual records of your moles and markings
- Detailed clinical observations and recommendations
This empowers you to understand your skin health and gives you a valuable resource for future consultations.
Step 4: Ongoing Monitoring & Early Detection
Your skin naturally changes over time, which is why ongoing monitoring is so important. At follow-up appointments – which are usually held every 12 months – we compare your latest images with your baseline record to make sure everything is changing normally.
It allows us to:
- Detect even the smallest changes that could signal a problem
- Spot early warning signs long before they become visible
- Give you reassurance if no concerning changes are found
It’s our proactive approach that aims to catch potential problems early and give you complete peace of mind.
Who Should Consider Mole Mapping?
If you’re reading this and you don’t have or notice any moles on your body, please know that mole mapping isn’t just for those who have lots of moles – it’s a preventative tool for anyone who is serious about protecting their skin health.
We recommend it in particular if:
- You have a family history of melanoma or risk of skin cancers
- You have a high number of moles or freckles
- You’ve spent significant time in the sun, whether through travel, outdoor work, or tan/use tanning beds
- You want to take a proactive approach to your long-term skin health
Even if you’ve never had a concerning mole or skin lesion before, baseline mapping gives us the reference point we need to keep your skin under watchful care.
