Unlike traditional skin checks, Skintel uses cutting-edge body mapping technology – a high-resolution total body scan that creates a precise, detailed record of your skin. This advanced approach allows for continuous tracking of moles and lesions, identifying subtle changes over time with greater accuracy.
Nearly two in three Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer in their lifetime, making regular skin checks an essential part of self-care. Taking care of your skin means more than just sun protection – it’s about staying informed and proactive.
At Skintel, we use body mapping, a high-resolution total body scan, to create a detailed record of your skin, helping to track changes in moles and lesions over time.
Body mapping uses automated total body imaging to create a clear and accurate record of your skin’s surface.
Your body mapping record is more than just an image – it provides a structured overview of your skin health. Key benefits include:
A digital record allows for ongoing comparison, helping to monitor for any differences over time.
Each mole is mapped to a specific location on the body, making it easier to assess changes.
Your body mapping images serve as a useful reference for you and your healthcare provider.
If further assessment is needed, your body mapping results can assist in directing attention to specific areas of concern.
Once your body mapping assessment is complete, our accredited skin cancer doctors will review the findings and determine whether additional steps are required.
If any moles or lesions require further assessment, additional non-invasive imaging techniques may be recommended:
A technique that magnifies moles up to 200X, allowing doctors to assess structures beneath the surface of the skin.
A 3D imaging technology that examines skin cells at 550X magnification, often eliminating the need for a traditional biopsy.
You will receive a detailed report with your results and recommendations for ongoing monitoring or follow-up care.
