Winter is an ideal time to establish a photographic baseline before the months of increased sun exposure. AI-assisted Total Body Mole Mapping with FotoFinder ATBM supports comprehensive skin documentation and comparison over time, helping your doctor monitor for new or changing skin lesions during future skin examinations.

Understanding AI-Assisted Mole Mapping

AI-assisted Total Body Mole Mapping provides a detailed photographic record of your skin as part of a comprehensive skin examination. FotoFinder ATBM captures high-quality images of most of your skin surface, creating a photographic baseline that can be compared with future images over time. This supports your doctor in monitoring for new or changing skin lesions during subsequent skin checks.

At Gentle Hands Skin Cancer Clinic, FotoFinder ATBM is used alongside clinical examination and dermoscopy performed by Dr Suran Rajapakse. The technology assists with documenting and comparing your skin over time but does not replace clinical assessment or diagnosis.

This approach may be particularly beneficial for people with numerous moles, a personal or family history of melanoma, significant lifetime sun exposure, or those who require regular skin surveillance.

Importance of Early Detection

Regular skin checks play an important role in identifying new or changing skin lesions that may require further assessment. Detecting suspicious changes early allows timely investigation and, where appropriate, treatment. Comparing your skin over time using Total Body Mole Mapping, together with a thorough skin examination and dermoscopy, provides valuable information to support ongoing skin surveillance.

Whether you have a personal or family history of skin cancer, numerous moles, significant sun exposure, or simply wish to establish a baseline, regular skin checks can help you and your doctor monitor your skin over time.

Continuous Care with Dr. Suran Rajapakse

Ongoing skin surveillance and continuity of care illustration

One of the advantages of ongoing skin surveillance at Gentle Hands Skin Cancer Clinic is continuity of care. Seeing the same doctor at each visit means your skin is assessed by someone who is familiar with your medical history, previous findings, and photographic records.

When combined with serial Total Body Mole Mapping and dermoscopy, this consistent approach supports meaningful comparison over time and helps identify new or changing skin lesions that may require further assessment.

Benefits of Same-Doctor Monitoring

Seeing Dr Suran Rajapakse for each skin check provides continuity of care. As your skin is monitored over time, previous clinical findings, dermoscopic images and Total Body Mole Mapping photographs can be reviewed alongside your current examination. This continuity provides valuable context when assessing new or changing skin lesions.

By becoming familiar with your skin and medical history over successive visits, Dr Rajapakse can provide personalised advice and recommend an appropriate skin surveillance plan based on your individual risk factors and clinical findings.

Year-Round Skin Surveillance

Your skin changes naturally over time, making regular skin checks an important part of ongoing skin health. Comparing your skin with previous Total Body Mole Mapping photographs and dermoscopic images allows your doctor to monitor for new or changing skin lesions over successive visits.

Combined with continuity of care, serial photographic imaging provides valuable information to support clinical assessment and helps guide recommendations for ongoing skin surveillance based on your individual risk factors and examination findings.

Personalized Skin Surveillance Plans

Everyone's skin is different, and so are their skin cancer risk factors. At Gentle Hands Skin Cancer Clinic, your skin surveillance plan is tailored to your individual circumstances, including your medical history, skin type, number of moles, previous skin cancers, family history and sun exposure.

Recommendations are based on your clinical examination, dermoscopic findings and Total Body Mole Mapping images, helping determine an appropriate follow-up schedule and ongoing monitoring plan. As your skin changes over time, your surveillance plan can be reviewed and adjusted according to your clinical needs.
