At Dapto Healthcare we understand how important our skin health is especially for our sunny coasts so we've brought on board our very own registered nurse Melanographer. Melanoma is extremely dangerous being Australia's 3rd most common cancer¹ and can often be missed with the usual visual checks. Melanoma can develop fast and is deadly but the good news is that early detection means it can almost always be treated.

Our nurse is trained to use MoleMap technologies and work alongside expert dermatologists to keep an eye on your skin health. MoleMap is Australia’s lead­ing skin can­cer detec­tion, diag­no­sis and skin-map­ping ser­vice with expert diagnosis from certified dermatologists. Our Melanographer will use the Dermatoscope to see deep into the moles core and detect early signs of skin cancer. More than just a cursory glance, it’s a thorough and indepth examination of your skin overseen by field specialists.

Not only can current moles be assessed for the early signs of cancer, they are also mapped using the MoleMap software and can be used as a comparison for future visits. This means even the smallest changes can be detected and investigated straight away, when its easiest to treat. This new technology is an innovative way of checking, and then re-checking, what’s going on under our skin.
