Mole Mapping/Screening and Analysis with Beau Visage™

Most moles are harmless skin growths that may be flat or protruding. They vary in colour from pink flesh tones to dark brown or black. Everyone has moles, some of us have more than others, others have only a few. The number depends on our genes and sun exposure. Moles sometimes appear in "crops", especially during the early teens. Sunlight causes moles to enlarge and new moles to grow. This is an additional reason to avoid the sun and never deliberately tan.

Moles begin to grow in infancy. New moles can develop at any age. When a mole develops, it usually stays for many years without becoming a problem. Some moles disappear by themselves, the elderly have fewer moles than do middle-aged adults. A growing or changing mole in a youngster is almost always harmless. On the other hand, if an adult's mole markedly changes in colour or size or bleed, it should be checked.

MoleMate™ is a non-invasive, rapid, and painless melanoma screening device that has been specifically designed with and for skin specialists. By assisting and accelerating the diagnostic process, MoleMate™ enables Face First Clinic to quickly scan and make a decision to refer a patient, excise a lesion or immediately assure you that your lesion is not suspicious. A full and detailed patient report is also produced for you to take home and/or we can send this and consult with your GP for referral or a Specialist Consultant if you wish. 

MoleMate™ is a hand-held scanner and software that uses SIAscopy™, the skin imaging technology that scans and visualises haemoglobin, melanin, dermal melanin and collagen (SIAscans) up to 2mm under the skin. SIAscopy™ this provides us with a wealth of previously unavailable information to assist in making an instant clinical decision about a lesion during your consultation.
