NAEVUS Mole Mapping:
Advanced Skin Cancer Monitoring
New Zealand is a fantastic country but our outdoor lifestyle, strong sun and skin types have led to one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world.
NAEVUS mole mapping is a specialised service designed for individuals at increased risk of skin cancer. It includes a comprehensive head-to-toe skin check performed by our experienced skin cancer nurses, along with high-resolution AI supported total body mapping.
This advanced mapping process supports early detection of new or changing skin lesions, allowing us to provide the highest standard of care.
Any lesions of concern are photographed using magnification, capturing details that are not visible to the naked eye. These images are carefully reviewed by our doctors and securely stored to allow for comparison over time.
At follow-up appointments, the total body map is repeated. Built-in artificial intelligence compares new images with previous ones to identify any changes or newly developed moles an important tool, as changes in moles can be one of the earliest signs of melanoma.
NAEVUS mole mapping is especially beneficial for people with a personal history of melanoma or those with multiple or atypical moles.

A changing Mole is a critical factor……
One of the main benefits of NAEVUS Mole Mapping is that we can monitor your moles over time. Changes can be subtle and would not normally be seen with the naked eye. A changing mole is critical and vital information to your doctor.
At your NAEVUS Mole Mapping consultation, a full comprehensive visual skin examination will take place
A dermatoscope will be used to examine your skin, this has a high-quality magnifying lens and a powerful lighting system. This visualises the skin structures and patterns in much greater detail which allows earlier and more accurate diagnosis of skin cancer.
Following your consultation, a written report will be sent to you and your GP giving you advice on any moles that need further assessment or removal, and our recommendation with regards to your on-going screening programme.
If it is felt that your skin type is better suited to skin checks rather than NAEVUS Mole Mapping we will advise you at the time of your consult.
