A more thorough approach
More than a standard
mole check.
Mole mapping records your skin in detail, so that changes can be seen clearly over time. Using high-resolution digital imaging, we build a reliable baseline of your moles and pigmented lesions that future appointments can be compared against — rather than relying on memory or a one-off inspection.
Many clinics advertise mole checks but offer only a quick visual inspection. While helpful, this can miss subtle changes — particularly in people with many moles, or skin that has frequently been exposed to the sun. At Apex, we use the FotoFinder bodystudio ATBM system, combining high-resolution imaging with AI-supported analysis to help identify early warning signs of melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and other skin cancers.

Your care, Step by Step.
A calm, clear path from first recovery.
Mole mapping is a structured skin cancer screening process. It uses digital imaging and AI-supported analysis to provide a comprehensive view of your skin and any existing moles.
01
Consultation
Your appointment begins with a discussion of your history and any concerns, and an examination of your skin.
02
Full body imaging with FotoFinder
We photograph all relevant areas of the body from standardised positions, building your baseline skin map.
03
Digital mapping and AI-supported comparison
The system maps your existing moles, logs their features, and flags any moles or lesions with characteristics that may warrant closer review.
04
Clinical review and plan
Our skin cancer nurse specialists examine any flagged lesions or unusual moles using dermoscopy. Where further assessment is needed, a follow-up consultation with Mr Chin is arranged promptly.
The people who care for you.
Who you'll see.
Your mole mapping is delivered by an experienced skin cancer nurse specialist and overseen by our consultant, Mr Kuen Yeow Chin, working within a regulated private hospital setting, with the full backing of a specialist team should you ever need it.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about mole mapping at Apex Medical
Mole mapping is a non-invasive, high-resolution digital imaging process that records the appearance and position of your moles. Using FotoFinder technology, we monitor changes over time, helping to detect early signs of skin cancer before they become obvious to the eye. It is particularly recommended for people with multiple or atypical moles, or a personal or family history of melanoma.
No. A standard mole check is a one-off visual examination of your skin. Digital mole mapping includes full body photography, dermoscopic imaging and structured surveillance over time — allowing new or changing moles to be identified at follow-up appointments.
At Apex Skin Clinic, a full body mole mapping appointment costs £380, with follow-up imaging at £304 and a two-person appointment at £680. Pricing is transparent, with no hidden consultation fees.
Mole mapping does not diagnose cancer, but it can identify suspicious moles that may require a biopsy or excision. It is an important tool in detecting melanoma and other skin cancers at an early stage, when treatment is most effective.
Yes. Mole mapping is safe, painless and radiation-free. It involves no injections or dyes, and is suitable for all skin types.
Most higher-risk individuals, such as those with many moles, a family history of skin cancer, or a previous melanoma, benefit from mole mapping every 6-12 months. Your clinical team will recommend a personalised surveillance plan based on your risk profile.
If a mole appears unusual or has changed between scans, our clinical team may recommend a biopsy or mole excision to confirm the diagnosis. Procedures are carried out by our consultant-led team at Berkshire Grove Hospital.
Some patients are able to claim mole mapping through private health insurance, but cover varies between insurers and policies, and screening appointments are often self-funded. We provide full documentation to support a claim. We recommend checking with your insurer before your appointment, and our team is happy to help with the paperwork.
We offer mole mapping in Berkshire, with patients also visiting from London and across the South East. Apex Skin Clinic is a specialist, consultant-led mole mapping clinic combining state-of-the-art imaging with expertise in dermatology and skin cancer care.
