What is Automated Total Body Mole Mapping?
Total body mole mapping is a state-of-the-art imaging procedure that creates a comprehensive digital record of your skin and moles. This advanced technique is a crucial tool for detecting changes in moles or identifying new lesions that may indicate skin cancer or other dermatological conditions.
Our automated system, powered by the cutting-edge Fotofinder machines, uses high-resolution imaging and AI technology to track and analyse moles over time, allowing for early intervention if needed.
