Body Map

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.

A proactive approach to skin cancer detection

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.

How the body mapping process works

Body mapping uses automated total body imaging to create a clear and accurate record of your skin’s surface.

Understanding your body mapping results

Your body mapping record is more than just an image – it provides a structured overview of your skin health. Key benefits include:

High-definition overview of your skin
Early identification of changes

A digital record allows for ongoing comparison, helping to monitor for any differences over time.

Skin Cancer
Accurate tracking of moles and lesions

Each mole is mapped to a specific location on the body, making it easier to assess changes.

Personalised Records

More informed follow-ups

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.

What happens after body mapping?

If any moles or lesions require further assessment, additional non-invasive imaging techniques may be recommended:

Dermoscopy
Dermoscopy

A technique that magnifies moles up to 200X, allowing doctors to assess structures beneath the surface of the skin.

Optical biopsy
Optical biopsy

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.

Frequently asked questions

Body mapping is a method of documenting the skin’s appearance using high-resolution imaging. It provides a structured record of moles and lesions, helping to track any changes over time.

Yes, moles can change in size, shape, or colour. Some changes may be harmless, while others could indicate a need for further assessment. Regular monitoring can help detect these changes.

Body maps help document and track new moles or changes in moles; irregularly shaped, asymmetrical suspicious moles; and changes in colour or size over time.
Regular skin cancer screenings are recommended, particularly if you have fair skin, significant sun exposure, or a personal/family history of skin cancer. A doctor can provide guidance on how frequently you should be checked.
