If you have a few moles you would like us to check or maybe a full body scan is the best option for you, make an appointment through our website or by contacting our head office. To ensure the best screening, we recommend you avoid wearing makeup, fake tan and nail varnish. Tying your hair back will help to keep your face and neck clearly visible. We also suggest you trim any body hair around lesions, just so we can get the best view possible.
When you get here, you’ll be welcomed by our front of house team. After that, you’ll meet one of our melanographers who will check your skin from head to toe talk you through the process and guide you through a series of poses and take full-body images. Using digital dermoscopy, we’ll capture close-up images of any lesions that seem unusual or stand out from others around them. Your comfort is our priority so don’t hesitate to ask any questions you may have along the way.
Your imaging will be reviewed by our doctor-led medical team. In some instances, your case may be presented at our multidisciplinary meeting to ensure the best recommendation is made for you.
We will contact you by phone or email within 2 weeks from your initial appointment with your outcome. This will be a chance to discuss any further recommendations we may have and for you to ask any questions you have for us.
We recommend you come back once a year for mole screenings to detect new moles or changes in existing lesions early. In some cases, our medical team may suggest repeat imaging every 3 to 6 months, but we’ll also teach you how to self-check your skin and how to identify changing moles. If you notice changes between visits, contact us and we’ll arrange a follow-up and check any areas of concern.

I found the entire consultation from beginning to end to be incredibly thorough and professional. Clare explained every aspect of the examination so carefully and made me feel very comfortable. A superb professional.

I've been going to Rose Clinic for almost 3 years now. I recently noticed a change in one of my moles and made an appointment straight away. I was incredibly anxious and scared as I stupidly had googled it. Mitzi was so professional, caring , patient and extremely thorough when checking

I was so nervous on arriving at the clinic as it was my first visit. I was treated very respectfully and professionally at all times and felt very reassured. I was completely happy with my experience and will not be as nervous next time should the need arise.
