Total Body Photography (TBP) is a highly recommended way to detect skin cancer early. It uses a camera to take full body scans of your skin’s surface, which helps us here at On Point Skin Cancer Clinic identify if any new or changing lesions indicate underlying skin conditions, such as melanoma. This non-invasive process is essential for high-risk patients, including those with many moles, a personal or family history of skin cancers, and fair skin.
At On Point Skin Cancer Clinic, our team of skin cancer doctors are highly qualified and experienced in what we do.
With years of experience in skin cancer medicine, diagnosis, management, treatment and surgical excision, you can trust that you’re in good hands with us.
Total Body Photography is recommended for patients at a higher risk of developing skin cancers. Several factors determine this and can include:

At On Point Skin Cancer Clinic, our Total Body Photography appointments are a simple and non-invasive process. Our expert team will guide you and answer any questions you may have every step of the way.
During your TBP appointment, you’ll be asked to undress down to your underwear. Our specialist melanographer nurse will then use our Total Body Photography system to capture full body images of your whole skin surface, including any suspicious lesions or moles. Our sophisticated software and doctors will then analyze these images to identify any changes or new lesions indicative of a skin condition, such as melanoma.
Following your appointment, our team will thoroughly review your images to identify any suspicious lesions or changes in your skin’s surface. We will then suggest a full clinical skin cancer examination with one of our skin cancer doctors.
To ensure your skin is closely monitored, we will advise you about when your next appointment should be scheduled. Regular appointments are crucial in the early detection and treatment of skin cancer, so don’t hesitate to book your next appointment with us as soon as possible.
