If you request them we will send you the images on a CD, the admin fee is £15. Please note these images can only be used in a comparative screening using the MelanomaMobil system. You can order your pictures from your personal online account. Log in here.
In this case you would need to make an appointment for an intermittent screening which is where we examine a maximum of three moles and their surrounding areas. The examination of hidden areas (ie. genitalia) is not a primary part of the full body screening process. However our screening doctor/nurse will ask you whether you have any moles in this area. If yes, our doctor/nurse will examine these moles as well.
If, after leaving the clinic, you remember any hidden moles which were not examined, it is not technically possible at this stage for us to attach individual images of a mole which has been missed to your previous screening data. In this case you would need to make an appointment for an intermittent screening. This is why it is very important to inform the screening doctor/nurse of any hidden moles while you are at our clinic.
The results will be available for download in your personal online account within 10 working days after the examination. You will be notified by email when available. Log in here.
Should surgery be recommended it can be scheduled through your GP or performed by Dr Bela, our dermatologist at our clinics. You can read more about mole removal here.
When you come for the second (follow-up) examination we can compare the images of all your moles with their current state. This is the only way to detect a melanoma early because we can identify even the smallest signs of growth. Early diagnosis is the only chance of being completely cured.
Absolutely not. Changing moles can be the sign of melanoma, so if you notice any changes please book a mole check by call 0208 129 3066 immediately so we can check that your mole is not a malignant tumour.
