Frequently Asked Questions
What is the price of this service?
£85 – you can have up to 3 moles/lesions checked in one appointment
Can the dermatologists diagnose skin cancer from my photos?
No, no one can do this.
A formal diagnosis of any cancer including skin cancer requires a biopsy (sample removed under anaesthetic) and histological assessment.
However, the experts can help identify a suspicious mole that might need further examination and investigation such as a biopsy.
Has the Dyplens been tested?
Yes. The Dyplens was designed in New Zealand and went through two design phases.
It was initially trialled in one of New Zealand’s top hospitals for skin cancer. It has subsequently been put through it’s paces in the UK and found to be capable of capturing images that are perfect for remote skin lesion assessment.
