Skin Cancer Checks and Mole Checks
The doctors at SunLife have specific expertise in skin cancer checks and will thoroughly inspect your skin, closely examining moles, sun spots, age spots, and all types of lumps and skin lesions.
Full-body skin checks
Your skin is examined from head to toe visually with a dermatoscope, looking for abnormal lesions. Risk assessment and care planning happen at the same appointment.
Spot Checks
A new or changing lesion that has not gone away after 4-6 weeks is a concern and should be checked. This can be done during a full skin check or as a quick spot check assessment.
Make it Regular!
Regular skin checks appropriate to your risk are essential, particularly if you are considered an at-risk patient or have signs of sun damage from UV radiation. Your doctor will assess you and help make a plan to meet your individual risk and needs.
What to expect at your skin check
At SunLife a skin cancer check is more than just a quick look over your skin. Please allow approximately 30 minutes for your appointment.
