Full Body Photography

Skin Cancer Navigation

High resolution images of your entire skin surface help dermatologists detect unwanted changes. In cases where even mild suspicion exists, microscopic images of specific areas can be captured and compared over time.

Body imaging is best known through an important service we offer, mole mapping. Full body photography is not however confined to moles and melanoma, skin cancers, or other lesions can be found, or watched for.

Patients with a particular family history, or a previous diagnosis will naturally benefit, although we should all have regular skin check ups. The best way to treat skin cancer, or other conditions, is by accurate, early diagnosis.

Human & Digital Skills

An experienced consultant dermatologist can identify most malignant lesions by eye. There can still be early stage symptoms which even a trained eye could miss, around half of skin cancers develop from previously unmarked skin, rather than moles.

We use high performance imaging equipment and dermatological software from Fotofinder, to go further than any eye can. There is still an important point to bear in mind, however precise the images are.

Computer based systems are sophisticated aids and should be treated as such. There are services which offer automated lesion assessment but they miss the key point. Body imaging is a valuable asset, not a complete answer.

Our clinics ensure you are seen by a leading consultant. Experienced in specialist treatment of skin cancer, such as Mohs surgery, alongside accurate diagnosis.

Studies show that diagnosis is improved by 20% to 30% through a combination of high resolution imagery and an expert dermatologist. They are complementary, with the right human skills needed to interpret what the camera and software bring to light.

Imaging Benefits Patients

By assisting in accurate diagnosis and spotting symptoms early, full body imaging helps reduce biopsies, treatment and above all, reduces risk. Conditions such as melanoma should be detected at an early stage.

With body imaging being integral to our London clinics, specialist care will be available immediately, if any reason for this is required.

The procedure is entirely non invasise, takes little time and will not need to be repeated too often, yet is the best protection we all have for our skin.

Almost any other approach is less than optimal. The sophisticated image capturing equipment and software provide more than charts, or basic images ever could. Above all, they provide peace of mind.
