The Importance of Mole Mapping for Skin Health
At Apex Skin Clinic, located inside Berkshire Grove Hospital, we believe that your skin is just as vital to your wellbeing as any other part of your body. That’s why we offer mole mapping, a non-invasive, highly advanced method used to detect changes in skin cancer moles, including early signs of melanoma.
Our private dermatology team in Maidenhead delivers this service in a discreet, comfortable setting — blending expert diagnostics with the refined experience expected at a luxury skin clinic.
What is Mole Mapping?
If you’ve ever wondered, “What is mole mapping?”, the answer is simple yet powerful: it’s the creation of a detailed visual and digital record of your skin and moles, designed to detect changes over time.
By using high-resolution imaging, digital dermoscopy, and AI technology, we can monitor for early-stage skin cancer, especially melanomas that may otherwise go unnoticed. The result is a personalised mole map — a snapshot of your skin today that can be compared against future assessments.
We use industry-leading technology seen in major centres such as Harley Street, and we’re proud to offer this level of care in our mole mapping UK clinic right here in Maidenhead.
Why is Mole Mapping so important?
Developing skin cancer often starts with subtle changes in the shape, size, or colour of a mole. These changes can be hard to see without medical imaging, especially in areas like the palms of the hands, back, or scalp.
Mole mapping allows our consultant dermatologists and nurse specialists to detect these early shifts and begin skin cancer treatments before the condition progresses. Early action is critical — especially for types of skin cancer like melanoma where the prognosis is much better when detected early.
For patients at higher risk — such as those with a family history of skin cancer, fair skin, many moles, or a weakened immune system — regular mole mapping appointments are highly recommended.
Who should consider a Mole Mapping appointment?
You may benefit from a mole mapping appointment if you:
Have more than 50 moles
Have a personal or family history of skin cancer
Have fair skin or freckles
Spend time in strong sunlight or have used sunbeds
Have a weakened immune system
Have previously had types of surgery or skin cancer treatments involving mole removal
Even if you’ve never had a skin issue, getting your moles checked is a simple step that could make a lasting difference.
What happens during your appointment?
Your mole mapping appointment at Apex Skin Clinic is calm, professional, and completely non-invasive. During your visit:
A consultant dermatologist or skin cancer specialist will examine your skin from head to toe
High-resolution images will be taken of all relevant areas of the body, including any common skin areas of concern
A digital mole map is created and stored securely for comparison in future visits
If any mole changes are noted, we will guide you through your treatment options. This may include surgical removal, photodynamic therapy, or referral to a specialist oncology team — especially if there’s concern the cancer has spread.
We always prioritise a patient-centred approach, ensuring you understand any potential side effects, next steps, and expected outcomes.
