SkinMap Total Body Photography | Early Skin Cancer Detection in Illinois
Comprehensive Skin Monitoring for Early Skin Cancer Detection at Dermatology & Mohs Surgery Institute
At Dermatology & Mohs Surgery Institute, we are committed to providing patients across Illinois with the most advanced tools for early skin cancer detection. SkinMap Total Body Photography is a cutting-edge skin monitoring service designed to help identify skin cancer in its earliest stages.
By capturing high-resolution, full-body images, SkinMap creates a visual baseline of your skin, making it easier to track new moles or subtle changes in existing ones over time. Whether you’re at high risk or simply want peace of mind, SkinMap is a powerful tool to complement routine dermatology exams.
What Is Total Body Photography?
Total Body Photography (TBP) is a non-invasive imaging procedure that documents your entire skin surface through a series of standardized, high-quality photographs.
Often referred to as mole mapping, this technology helps dermatologists detect early signs of melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and other forms of skin cancer. By comparing images across visits, even the smallest changes can be spotted before they become more serious.
Who Should Consider SkinMap Total Body Photography?
SkinMap is recommended for patients who want to be proactive about skin health, especially those who are:
- Living with a personal or family history of skin cancer
- Managing numerous or atypical moles
- Fair-skinned or with significant sun damage
- Frequently exposed to UV rays through sun or tanning beds
- Seeking routine skin cancer screenings for preventive care
Whether you’re considered high-risk or just want reassurance, SkinMap provides a smarter, more detailed way to monitor your skin.
