About Molescope Skin Cancer Clinic

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer diagnosed in Australia, but also the most treatable and preventable when detected early. Regular skin checks by qualified professionals are an important step in caring for your health.

You live with your skin every day and may not always notice if a mole is changing. Being able to compare photos of moles over time assists greatly in being able to identify potential problem moles that may require more detailed examination.

The highly skilled and experienced Skin Cancer Doctors at Molescope use high resolution Digital Photography & Dermoscopy to detect skin cancers. The Doctors are all very experienced and passionate about the prevention & early detection of skin cancers.

The two main types of appointment offered are Spot Checks and Skin Checks. A Spot Check is a short (15 minute) consultation where the doctor will examine a mole of concern. This is often either a new mole that you have noticed, or an existing mole that you have noticed changing. A Skin Check is a longer consultation where the doctor will examine your skin for moles, regardless of whether you have noticed them as "new" or "changing". This can often aso discover moles of which you are unaware. Common places such as the back or scalp, in which moles can occur, but are often not noticed by patients themsleves.

An additional service offered is Total Body Photography. This is where our nurses will take a series of photos of different parts of the body that can be compared over time. These photos are then reviewed with the doctor in a follow up Skin Check and stored for comparison with future photos of the same areas of your skin.

Molescope was founded by Dr Geoffrey Bartlett (now retired) in 2010, as a combination of his interest in skin cancer and the use of high resolution digital photography. To read more about the Molescope Story, read about it in the blog article here.
