Mole Mapping Surrey
Treatment Overview
What Is Mole Mapping?
Mole mapping is a specialist skin cancer screening service designed to track changes in your skin moles over time. It’s often used alongside mole removal to support accurate diagnosis and long-term skin health. At HAVA Aesthetics, our clinic provides patients with advanced mole checks using digital imaging technology to document and monitor every mole across the body.
This allows us to detect atypical moles early and spot even subtle changes that may indicate a risk of skin cancer.

Why Is Mole Mapping Important?
Skin cancer remains one of the most common forms of cancer worldwide, with sun exposure, family history, and the presence of atypical moles all contributing to risk levels. A single mole check is important, but changes often happen gradually, making them difficult to notice with the naked eye.
Mole mapping creates a permanent record of your skin surface, allowing our medical practitioners to compare digital images at each screening check. This ensures potential concerns are identified at the earliest stage.
Who Should Consider Mole Mapping?
Mole mapping is recommended for individuals with:
• A family history of skin cancer or melanoma
• A large number of skin moles or atypical moles
• A history of sun exposure or sunburn
• Fair or sensitive skin types more prone to damage
• Previous skin excisions for suspicious lesions
Even if you do not fall into these groups, a full skin check is an excellent preventive measure, offering reassurance and early detection.
How Does Mole Mapping Work?
At our Mole Clinic in Esher, we use digital photo-dermoscopy to take high-resolution images of your skin moles. These images are stored securely and compared against future appointments, so any new or changing mole can be investigated quickly. The process is simple and non-invasive, involving:
1. Initial Screening Check – A thorough full skin check carried out by our practitioners.
2. Digital Imaging Technology – Advanced photo-dermoscopy captures clear images of the skin surface and every visible mole.
3. Analysis & Monitoring – Atypical moles or areas of concern are highlighted for closer monitoring or referral, with images reviewed by a leading UK dermatologist.
4. Follow-Up – Regular screening checks ensure changes are tracked with accuracy.
What If Something Suspicious Is Found?
If a mole raises concern during mole screening, our practitioners will advise on further action. This may include:
• Referral for an urgent dermatological review
• Minor Surgery or skin excisions for histology testing
• Additional tests such as patch testing if irritation or reaction is suspected
Early diagnosis is key in treating skin cancer effectively, and mole mapping provides the reassurance that every detail has been recorded and monitored.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a mole check and mole mapping?
A mole check involves examining your skin moles during a single appointment, whereas mole mapping uses digital imaging technology to create a record of your entire skin surface. This allows changes to be tracked over time, making mole screening more accurate and effective in detecting skin cancer at an early stage.
Who should consider mole mapping at a Mole Clinic?
Mole mapping is recommended for anyone with a family history of skin cancer, a history of sun exposure or sunburn, or patients with numerous or atypical moles. It is also advised if you have previously had skin excisions or are concerned about new or changing skin lesions.
How does digital photo-dermoscopy work?
Digital photo-dermoscopy is an advanced imaging technique that captures high-resolution photos of each mole and surrounding skin. These images are securely stored and compared during future screening checks, ensuring any changes are detected quickly and accurately.
What happens if an atypical mole is found during mole screening?
If a suspicious mole is identified, our practitioners may recommend further investigation. This could include referral to a dermatologist, skin excisions for laboratory testing, or additional diagnostic measures such as patch testing if irritation is present.
Is mole mapping painful?
Mole mapping is a completely non-invasive procedure that uses detailed photography to capture images of your moles and surrounding skin. At HAVA Aesthetics, we focus on precise documentation and monitoring rather than diagnostic testing. If any mole appears suspicious during your assessment, our medical team will refer you to your GP or a dermatologist for further investigation and appropriate care.
Can mole mapping be part of my ongoing skin care plan?
Yes. Mole mapping is an important preventive tool and can be combined with other aesthetic treatments such as Skin Rejuvenation and cosmetic treatments. Regular full skin checks provide reassurance and support long-term skin health, particularly for patients at higher risk due to family history or significant sun exposure.
