A quick glance in the mirror might spot a mole. But what you can’t see could be more

important.

At Ellipse Skin NZ, we use dermoscopy, a specialised skin imaging technique that

reveals structures below the surface of your skin. It allows us to detect early signs of

melanoma and other skin cancers long before they become visible to the eye.

It’s painless, fast, and far more accurate than a visual check.

If you’ve never had a dermoscopic skin check, this could be the most important

appointment you make this year.
