A Consultant Dermatologist consultation is combined with full body mole mapping using the Canfield IntelliStudio device. All moles are assessed, photographed and mapped, including dermoscopy (magnification) for additional detail. Further follow-up is arranged to perform direct comparisons using artificial intelligence to determine change in existing moles or development of new moles which may be of suspicion. In some instances, a diagnostic biopsy (mole removal) will be recommended for a mole thought to be suspicious of skin cancer.
In some instances, mole removal will be recommended and our internationally renowned Consultant Plastic Surgeons and Dermatologists can remove the lesion and provide the best aesthetic result. Full skin care assessment and recommendations can be made to help improve sun damaged and dry skin, including SPF sun protection. The Observ skin scanner provides an objective measure of the deeper layers of the skin to help diagnose issues such as rosacea, sun damage, dehydration and more. In order to support and hydrate the skin, regular Hydrafacials provide an immediate and maintained improvement in skin health.
