It is a Top to Toe check for visually abnormal moles using a dermatoscope by a specialist nurse and is recommended for all adults. It also includes a check for Atypical Mole Syndrome. The appointment can take up to 40 minutes.

The definition given by the British Association of Dermatologists is “Atypical mole syndrome is a disorder of the skin which is seen in approximately 2% of the population. It is defined when an individual has more than 50 moles composed of melanocytes (pigment producing skin cells) present on their skin, and three or more are atypical (unusual) in their appearance, e.g. size and shape.”

The nurse will take a magnified image for a single mole report using a special camera linked to the dermatoscope which is reviewed and assessed by a remote specialist doctor – recommended for visually abnormal moles, new or changing moles or for an expert second opinion.

It is possible to have a single mole report if you are worried by an abnormal, new or changing moles or wish to have an expert special opinion on a particular mole.

However if you are worried about new or changing moles we recommend a Full Body Mole Check to ensure that there are no abnormal moles in areas that you cannot easily see or check yourself.

During a Single Mole Check appointment a report for that specific mole is included in the £60 appointment price. If an additional Single Mole Report is required this will cost £40. This includes imagery, a specialist Doctor’s diagnosis and the report.

Single Mole Reports required as part of Full Body Mole Check appointment will cost £40. This includes imagery, a specialist Doctor’s diagnosis and the report.

All results of Single Mole Reports are available within 3 working days, although routinely the delivery time is much shorter. A copy of your report will be emailed to you and a screening nurse will call you to discuss the result and any next steps.

Around 25% of patients who have a Single Mole Report will need a referral to see a Consultant Dermatologist for a consultation, clinical review and treatment.

This referral can be arranged without delay, to see a Consultant, who has a practice base within The Mole Clinic. Our team profiles are available on the About section website. All Consultants are skin cancer specialists.

As they are working within the clinic they have access to your patient data and records which keeps the administration to a minimum during this anxious time. You will also be treated in familiar surroundings with the same reception and nursing team available for support.

We are approved by all major insurers who will fund treatment provided the correct pre-authorisations are obtained.

Yes a number of patients have seen their Doctor and been advised to have a mole removed. You are able to make an appointment for a Consultation. This applies to both patients with medical insurance and patients paying for their own treatment.

In fact a number of insurers will suggest our facility where a referral is sought.

Yes these can of course be removed. You would need to see a Consultant for a consultation and clinical review to discuss the removal. They would make an assessment and discuss the removal to ensure that you have the full facts before undergoing the procedure. Sometimes they may advise against procedures because the risk of scarring in cosmetically sensitive areas and skin tone/type etc may outweigh the cosmetic benefit.
