Posted By Nataly on May 29, 2009
Skin cancer is now the most common type of cancer in the UK. However most cases can be easily treated and cured but only if it is detected in the early stages.Mole scanning has been used for a number of years in the US and Australia but this service is limited in the UK. Blemish Clinic in Middleton is one of the few specialist clinics which provide this non invasive and painless service which can potentially save your life.Blemish Clinic Managing Director, Jan Birch explains, Any changes to moles on your body can be potentially very dangerous, therefore its crucial you monitor any which have altered in size, shape or colour. You are especially at risk of skin cancer if you use sun beds or dont wear the correct sun screen when exposed to UV rays. However not all moles can be monitored by the naked eye.Mole scans visualise haemoglobin, melanin, dermal melanin and collagen up to 2mm under the skin. The process is extremely simple, the hand held scanner is passed over your moles and the results are immediately visible on a computer, proving you and your dermatologist with a permanent digital photographic record. This can help to detect of many types of skin lesions at the early stages, before they become apparent.Jan comments, Melanoma is the most dangerous form of skin cancer as it can be extremely aggressive so early detection is crucial. Mole scanning is now readily available so dont put it off.Blemish Clinic also offers a range of non surgical treatments including dermal fillers; revolumisation; laser therapy treatments and hair removal as well as minor surgery and cosmetic surgery for Private and NHS patients. The business is managed by the clinicians who run it.
