We believe our world-class, painless, non-invasive approach ensures a better experience for our patients.
On numerous occasions, lesions involving no risk are removed even though they are categorised as benign in the histology report. The only diagnosis carried out is a biopsy after the lesion is excised.
This leads to huge costs in theatre charges, surgeons’ fees etc. for unnecessary procedures.
Removal of benign lesions incurs a considerably lower fee – and, of course, they don’t need to be removed at all.
We believe that patients can benefit from our non-invasive and painless diagnosis protocols.
At Skin Inspection’s examinations are carried out by specialists with expertise in skin cancer detection.
Digital Dermoscopy
Our technology includes a digital dermoscopy and total body-mapping capability, as well as the latest generation confocal microscope. This advanced machine, currently the most advanced in the UK, enables visualisation of the skin at a cellular level – like a virtual biopsy – without causing pain or scarring.
Digital dermoscopy is a hand-held instrument that our consultant dermatologists use to examine suspicious moles, lesions, as well as many other skin conditions. Dermoscopy is a noninvasive method that allows the in vivo evaluation of colours and microstructures of the epidermis, the dermoepidermal junction, and the papillary dermis not visible to the naked eye. These structures are specifically correlated to histologic features. In other words, the doctor can sometimes provide an immediate diagnosis without the need for a physical biopsy! We can therefore save our patients the time, scarring, costs, and anxiety associated with an unnecessary procedure.
Its incredible magnification power when placed on the skin gives the doctor a window into the skin. The images are digitally stored and compared with future consultations. The dermatoscope is safe for pregnant women, children, and even inflamed skin. By using the latest generation dermatoscope, your dermatologist will have an immediate idea as to the health of your skin. The dermatoscope produces results that are rapid, painless, and extremely reliable. This is how we ensure a better experience for our patients, as well as provide a definitive diagnosis for patients seeking a reliable second opinion.
Total Body Mapping (TBM) Machine
You may also opt for total body mapping (TBM) at your mole check. TBM is a remarkable machine that takes detailed images of the person’s entire body, thus creating an accurate record of their skin over time. The cutting-edge software in combination with our consultant dermatologists can detect any changes in moles at each annual mole check. This technology is ideal for people with a high number of freckles or moles, or who have had a previous skin cancer diagnosis. Annual TBM is the best way to keep your skin monitored for skin cancer. Melanoma and other skin cancers respond very well to treatment if detected at the early stages. Therefore, TBM can help catch changes as soon as possible, thus preventing mortality.
Improved Diagnosis of Skin Lesions
We foresee a future in which improved diagnostic methods mean quick, painless, accurate, and non-scarring treatment for patients – and significant cost savings for patients. Our technology is revolutionising the patient experience by taking their time to know from weeks to minutes. Our results are rapid and extremely reliable.

Following the latest announcement of lockdown throughout the UK, we would like to inform you that we are remaining open. It is essential for all new or changing moles to be examined as soon as possible, as early detection is key in reducing skin cancer mortality.
We are offering limited availability for in-person consultations at Harley Street. Our leading team of healthcare professionals arefollowing all UK government guidelines to ensure that your consultation is Covid-19 secure.
For general dermatology consultations (i.e. eczema, acne, etc.) we are also offering remote video consultations via our TeleHealth feature. If you are interested in a remote consultation, please email us at info@skininspection.co.uk with a description of the condition so we can confirm that a video conference would be appropriate.
How long will this last?
We are following the advice from the Government and Public Health England to make sure we do the right thing for everyone in our community. At the moment, we do not know how long these measures will be in place. We will update you as soon as we know more. If you would like to book a mole check, you may do so by calling or emailing us, and we will contact you as soon as possible to book an appointment. Thank you for your understanding and support.
