Mole mapping
An essential tool for proactive skin cancer prevention.
What is mole mapping?
Mole mapping is a cutting-edge, non-invasive imaging technique used to monitor and track moles over time. By capturing high-resolution, standardized photographs of your skin, this method makes it easier to detect subtle changes that could indicate early signs of melanoma or other skin conditions.
Mole mapping plays an important role in early detection, helping identify new or evolving lesions sooner, when treatment is most effective. It offers a proactive way to safeguard your skin health and gives you peace of mind.
Do you know your skin?
Know Your Skin. Protect Your Health.
Dermatologists recommend “knowing your skin” as the first line of defense against skin cancer.
This means understanding how many moles you have and monitoring them for any signs of change, because early detection truly saves lives.
Canada’s First Dermatologist-Managed Mole Scan Clinic
We are proud to offer Canada’s first dermatologist-managed mole scan clinic, powered by the German-engineered FotoFinder ATBM Master system, recognized worldwide as the gold standard in automated total-body mapping and digital dermoscopy.
Why Digital Mole Mapping Matters
By detecting melanoma earlier than traditional visual exams, Digital Mole Mapping allows dermatologists to identify subtle changes that may otherwise go unnoticed.
This advanced technology significantly reduces unnecessary skin biopsies, helping prevent avoidable procedures and large, visible scars.

Full-BodyPhotography and Dermoscopy
using FotoFinder ATBM MASTER
FotoFinder is a high-precision, computer-assisted total-body mole mapping system. It uses high-resolution, polarized photography and advanced software to create a secure baseline image map of your skin. At follow-up visits, FotoFinder compares new images to your baseline so even subtle changes are easier to spot.
Why it helps
-
Comprehensive: Documents all visible moles across the body.
-
Change-detection: Year-to-year comparisons highlight new or evolving spots.
-
Close-up detail: Dermoscopic images can be magnified up to 140×.
-
Peace of mind: A quick, non-invasive way to support early detection and informed decisions.
Note: Mole mapping does not replace a clinical exam or biopsy when indicated. Early assessment and follow-up improve the chances of detecting melanoma at a treatable stage.

Who Should Consider Mole Mapping?
Skin cancer is the most common cancer. A quick, non-invasive skin screening can give you peace of mind, especially if you have risk factors for melanoma.
Do any of these apply to you?
-
You have many moles (more than ~50).
-
There’s a family history of skin cancer.
-
You’ve had melanoma before.
-
You have very large or atypical moles (several centimeters across).
-
You’ve noticed changes in a mole’s size, shape, color, or symptoms (itching, bleeding).
-
You’ve noticed new moles.
-
You had severe, blistering sunburns in childhood or adolescence.
-
You have fair or sensitive skin that burns easily.
-
You are immunocompromised.
If you answered “yes” to any of the above, consider booking a skin screening.
Note: If a spot is rapidly changing, bleeding, or looks very different from your other moles (“the ugly duckling”), seek assessment promptly.

If Something Is Flagged
Any atypical or concerning lesion will be clearly noted.
You will receive instructions for next steps, which may include medical assessment or biopsy arranged by your healthcare provider.

Follow-Up Timing
Most individuals:
-
Recommended every 6–12 months.
High-risk individuals:
-
4 months after baseline,
-
Then every 6 months,
-
Or sooner if you notice any changes.
Why Follow-Up Matters
A very early melanoma may not be visible on the initial baseline scan.
The true power of Mole Mapping is in monitoring changes over time. Comparing follow-up images to your baseline allows us to detect:
-
New lesions
-
Subtle changes in existing moles
-
Early warning signs of melanoma
Early detection gives you the best chance for early intervention and peace of mind.
