Mole mapping is an advanced skin cancer screening technology designed to monitor moles and detect early changes in the skin. Using automated total body imaging and high-resolution dermoscopic photography, mole mapping captures detailed images of your entire skin surface and individual moles to create a comprehensive visual record. These images allow dermatologists to track subtle changes over time, helping identify suspicious lesions earlier and reducing unnecessary biopsies.
At Rejuvenation Dermatology, mole mapping uses advanced imaging technology to photograph the entire body in minutes and link dermoscopic images of specific moles to a digital body map for accurate follow-up assessments. This technology is especially valuable for patients with many moles, atypical moles, or a personal or family history of skin cancer, providing a proactive approach to skin health and melanoma detection.
Early detection is one of the most important factors in successfully treating skin cancer. Mole mapping is an advanced dermatological screening technology that allows dermatologists to monitor your skin with exceptional accuracy by creating a detailed photographic record of your entire body and individual moles. At Rejuvenation Dermatology, our mole mapping system combines automated total body photography with digital dermoscopy to track moles over time and detect subtle changes that may indicate skin cancer or melanoma. This technology provides dermatologists with a powerful tool to compare images over multiple visits, making it easier to identify new lesions or changes in existing moles that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Mole mapping uses specialized imaging technology to capture a comprehensive visual record of your skin. The system takes high-resolution images of the entire body in standardized positions to create a digital body map. Individual moles and lesions can then be photographed using dermoscopic imaging and linked directly to their location on the body map.
This allows dermatologists to review, monitor, and compare specific lesions over time. The technology used at Rejuvenation Dermatology can capture studio-quality images of the entire body in under two minutes and track lesions using automated software that highlights new or changing moles between visits. By comparing images from different appointments, dermatologists can identify even subtle changes in size, shape, or colour, key indicators that may warrant further evaluation.
Mole mapping is recommended for individuals who want a proactive approach to skin health, particularly those who:
Your appointment begins with automated total body photography using specialized imaging equipment. You will stand in specific positions while the system captures a series of high-resolution images to create your personal skin map. If any moles require closer evaluation, dermoscopic images will also be taken and linked to their exact location on the body map. These images are securely stored and used for comparison during future skin examinations. During follow-up visits, dermatologists can compare new images with your previous records to detect any new or changing lesions. The entire imaging process is fast, comfortable, and non-invasive.
At Rejuvenation Dermatology, mole mapping is performed using advanced dermatologic imaging technology designed to provide precise monitoring and accurate follow-up care.
Our dermatology team combines this technology with expert clinical assessment to identify suspicious lesions early and provide personalized skin health recommendations.
With regular monitoring, mole mapping offers patients peace of mind and a proactive strategy for protecting long-term skin health.
A detailed process to document and monitor moles for changes over time.
Annually, or more frequently if you have a personal or family history of skin cancer.
Mole mapping is recommended for people with many moles, atypical (irregular) moles, a personal or family history of skin cancer, or significant sun exposure. It’s especially useful for individuals at higher risk of melanoma.
Most people benefit from annual mole mapping, but your dermatologist may recommend more frequent monitoring (every 3–6 months) if you have high-risk or changing moles.
No, mole mapping is completely non-invasive and painless. It involves taking detailed photographs of your skin, no needles, surgery, or discomfort required.
No, mole mapping is a complementary tool. It enhances a dermatologist’s ability to monitor your skin over time but does not replace a full skin examination or biopsy if needed.
