SKINMAP Total Body Photography

Skinmap digital imaging costs $75 if you are self-pay and most insurances cover this service.

Skinmap offers a cutting-edge approach to monitoring your skin over time, giving our board-certified dermatologists the tools they need to identify potential concerns before they become serious problems.

What Is Skinmap?

Skinmap is an advanced total body photography system designed to capture comprehensive, high-resolution images of your entire skin surface. This innovative technology creates a detailed visual record that allows our expert team to track even the subtlest changes in your skin over months and years, which are changes that might be impossible to detect during a single examination.

Unlike a standard skin check that relies on what’s visible in the moment, Skinmap provides a baseline reference that transforms how we monitor your skin health. By comparing current images to previous sessions, our team can identify new growths, evolving moles, or changing lesions with remarkable precision.

How Skinmap Works

The Skinmap process is remarkably straightforward and completely non-invasive. During your session, our trained staff will take a series of high-quality photographs covering your entire body from multiple angles. The system captures standardized images that ensure consistent positioning and lighting, making it easy to detect even minor changes during future visits.

These photographs are securely stored in your medical record, creating a comprehensive skin map that serves as your personal baseline. At subsequent appointments, our board-certified dermatologists can review side-by-side comparisons of your skin over time, focusing attention on areas that show meaningful changes while providing reassurance about stable lesions.

The entire process takes just minutes, requires no preparation or recovery time, and involves no discomfort whatsoever. You simply arrive for your appointment, and we handle the rest.

Who Can Benefit from Skinmap?

While anyone concerned about skin health can benefit from Skinmap, this technology is particularly valuable for individuals with elevated skin cancer risk factors. You may be an ideal candidate if you have:

• Multiple or atypical moles: If you have numerous moles or moles with irregular shapes, colors, or borders, tracking them over time becomes essential for early detection.
• Personal history of skin cancer: Previous skin cancer diagnoses significantly increase your risk of developing new skin cancers, making regular monitoring crucial.
• Significant sun exposure history: A history of sunburns, extensive tanning bed use, or cumulative sun exposure elevates your skin cancer risk.
• Difficulty self-monitoring: Many people find it challenging to keep track of changes in hard-to-see areas or simply have too many spots to monitor effectively on their own.
• Fair skin or family history: Lighter skin types and genetic predisposition can increase vulnerability to skin cancer development.

Why Early Detection Matters

Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States, but it’s also one of the most treatable when caught early. The five-year survival rate for melanoma detected in its earliest stage exceeds 99%. However, when melanoma spreads to other parts of the body, survival rates drop dramatically.

Early detection through systematic monitoring can mean the difference between a simple in-office procedure and extensive treatment. Skinmap empowers our dermatologists to identify suspicious changes at the earliest possible stage, when treatment is most effective and least invasive.

How Skinmap Helps You Stay Protected

Beyond clinical benefits, Skinmap provides invaluable peace of mind between your dermatology appointments. Knowing that our expert team has a comprehensive photographic record of your skin allows you to feel confident that any changes won’t slip through the cracks.

The visual documentation also enhances communication between you and your dermatologist. Rather than trying to remember whether a particular spot has changed, you can rely on objective photographic evidence. This collaborative approach to skin health monitoring ensures nothing is overlooked.

Skinmap is covered by Medicare and most insurance plans, making this advanced technology accessible to patients who need it most. For those without coverage, the service is available for just $75, which is a small investment in your long-term skin health.
