Total Body Photography (TBP) is a tool for the early detection of skin cancer, and research shows that it can help in the early diagnosis of melanoma in high-risk patients, particularly patients with a high number of moles or a history of multiple primary melanomas.
Melanoma Institute Australia recommends TBP for patients that have:
- many moles on their skin (>100)
- many moles that are large, unusual colours or shapes
- moles on their back that are difficult to see or keep an eye on
- a previous history of melanoma (especially multiple primary melanomas)
- a strong family history of melanoma (i.e. 3 or more relatives with melanomas)
- fair skin that has been severely or repeatedly sunburned
Our clinic uses the cutting-edge FotoFinder® technology which supports our specially trained Skin Cancer doctors to better track and assess changes that could signal potential concern; we are delighted to be offering this service to both existing and new patients and we strongly encourage you to take up this opportunity in the best interest of your skin health.
