What Happens at a mole check?

We have two types of consultations for individual moles:

Consultation and Singular Mole Check With Dermascope (Does Not Include Histology): Cost £100. This is a 15-minute appointment where a particular mole can be checked. During this consultation, our specialist doctor will check your mole using a device called a Derma scope. This will allow the doctor to identify if there is anything you should be aware of regarding the mole.

Full Body Mole Check With Dermascope (Does Not Include Histology): Cost £250. This is a 45-minute Full body is checked for any suspicious moles or lesions and mole locations, descriptions, and sizes are charted in your notes. This should be performed yearly to ensure no significant changes to specific moles. Any moles which cause concern can be biopsied for histology (biopsy fees apply) or can be removed (removal fees apply)

If you are wanting to have the mole removed, this will be a separate ADDITIONAL cost on top of the 'Mole Check' cost.

When to get a mole checked?

The majority of moles are completely harmless. However, if your Dr Leah doctor believes there may be cause for concern, we will advise you on what to do next.

If you suspect that your mole is cancerous then the best thing to do is to visit your GP urgently.

How to tell if a mole is cancerous/cancerous moles

There is no definitive sign that indicates cancerous moles.
In general, if you are at all concerned about a mole on your body or face you should book an appointment as soon as possible with your GP.
There are, however, some signs to watch out for with a mole you have concerns about that you should report to your doctor. These are:

• Irregular shaped mole – if a mole develops an irregular shape
• Bleeding mole on face or body – If you have not caught or cut a mole and it begins to bleed on a regular basis you should have this checked
• Itchy mole on face or body – If a mole starts itching and continues to do so book a check
• New mole on face or body – which is increasing in size should be checked immediately
• Mole growing – If a mole starts growing in size this should be checked
• Changing colour – If a mole starts changing colour this should be checked.
