Over the last twenty-five years, rates of melanoma have risen faster in Britain than any other major cancer. Melanoma claims more lives in the United Kingdom than in Australia.

A Blossoms Healthcare Mole Check is a non-invasive, rapid, and painless moles and lesion screening service.

Using the latest imaging technology, Siascopy, Blossoms Healthcare scans any moles or lesions and instantly makes a decision to refer on to a specialist, excise a lesion or immediately provide assurance that the mole or lesion is not suspicious.

Using a hand-held scanner and specialist software the skin imaging technology scans and visualises haemoglobin, melanin, dermal melanin and collagen up to 2mm under the skin.

Increasing ‘true positive’ referrals means reducing the unnecessary removal of benign moles or lesions, which is better for the patient and also reduces the cost associated with unnecessary dermatology consultations.
