Welcome to Molecheck! Whether you’re concerned about a suspicious spot or simply want to stay proactive, our cutting-edge technology and expert team of doctors are here to guide you. With Molecheck, you’ll gain peace of mind and take control of your skin’s wellbeing.

It's business as usual at our Auckland clinic - please book online or give us a call to make an appointment.
Our Techniques
At Molecheck our doctors provide on the spot diagnosis - and in some cases on the spot treatment - for all our patients. Our doctors use the latest dermoscopy techniques to view structures beneath the skin surface, enabling us to detect melanoma and other skin cancers at the earliest possible stage. Our approach has major advantages over standard mole mapping alone. You are personally examined by an expert melanoma doctor who can give you an immediate diagnosis and who can detect precancerous lesions and skin cancers that do not occur in moles (these may not be detected by a mole map alone).

Early Detection
New Zealand has the highest melanoma incidence rates in the world. The good news is that most skin cancers can be cured with early diagnosis and treatment. Early detection brings peace of mind - quick and easy treatment, immediate results and in many cases a cure.
New Zealand Lifestyle
Over 90% of skin cancers are caused by excess exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. Our outdoor lifestyle and high UVR levels are chief contributors to our high skin cancer rates.
The Facts
- Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in New Zealand, accounting for about 80% of new cancers each year
- There are around 70,000 new melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer cases each year in New Zealand.
- Most skin cancers can be cured with early diagnosis and treatment.

Diagnose & Treat
