What is Total Body Photography (TBP)?
Total Body Photography (TBP) is the process of taking high quality images of your skin from head to toe to help your doctor monitor and assess your spots.
We're harnessing the power of artificial intelligence to make your skin checks smarter than ever for a first-in-class experience!
Your spots will be mapped to your virtual 3D body map, where your specialist and the system can work together to track any changes over time .
What to Expect: A Step by Step Guide
- A trained professional will provide a brief overview of the session.
- You will be led to a private area to disrobe.
- You will be slowly guided through the poses to ensure that all your lesions are imaged at a comfortable pace.
- The information will be securely recorded in the system for your doctor to take the necessary next steps depending on the result of your examination.
- If a doctor finds a suspicious spot, they may take a magnified image

Why should Mole Mapping be done in a Dermatology clinic?
Dr. Parsons has advanced knowledge, training and skills to properly elevate moles. Many moles require specialized screening with a tool called dermoscopy. Only Dermatologists are trained to look and evaluate moles and other lesions with dermoscopy. Best of all, if there is a concern patients are booked directly with Dr. Parsons for surgery/removal of the concerning lesion.
