More than two decades ago, a team of pioneering dermatologists in New Zealand set out to revolutionise how skin cancer is diagnosed.
They recognised that early detection was key to stopping melanoma before it could spread, and this led to the creation of MoleMap – a ground-breaking approach to skin cancer screening.
Unlike traditional skin checks, MoleMap offers an in-depth, thorough examination of your skin using advanced technology and techniques, ensuring that every mole of concern is meticulously monitored and diagnosed by certified dermatologists.
Today, with more than 90 clinics across New Zealand and Australia, MoleMap’s proven system provides patients with their best chance at catching melanoma early.
Lauren Brookes, an experienced registered nurse and passionate skin cancer prevention advocate, brought MoleMap’s innovative services to Bairnsdale in 2019 and is located opposite Aldi at Bairnsdale Health and Wellness Centre.
Lauren saw the rural community needed more than just a basic skin check, with patients seeking a comprehensive solution – one that would not only detect potential skin cancers but also provide ongoing skin monitoring.
In the past five years, more than 5000 patients have walked through the doors of MoleMap Bairnsdale, receiving expert care, full body skin checks, detailed total body photography and comprehensive mole mapping.
Countless skin cancers have been detected, including many melanomas, most of which were caught early – when they are most treatable but often harder to detect at home at this early stage.
Many patients return annually, knowing that their skin is being professionally
monitored and any changes or new concerns are promptly addressed.
Lauren’s dedication to skin cancer and sun safety education is at the heart of her work and discussed with her patient’s during their appointment.
“We need to keep changing the sun safety behaviour each generation to lower the rates of skin cancer” she said.
Her clinic offers not just peace of mind but the chance to catch potentially life-threatening cancers early.
MoleMap appointments include a comprehensive head-to-toe skin check by Lauren, with detailed photographs that are reviewed by specialist dermatologists.
If you’re looking for a reliable, thorough, easily accessible and advanced solution to skin cancer detection, MoleMap Bairnsdale is your go-to clinic. Lauren looks forward to welcoming you and your loved ones to the clinic.
