Medical and cosmetic dermatologist practice Derm.ca (403-457-1900), serving Calgary and nearby towns like Cochrane, offers advanced mole mapping services.
—
Derm.ca is committed to identifying skin cancer in its earliest stages and preventing melanoma and is pleased to offer all of its patients the opportunity to have their skin moles digitally tagged, mapped, and photographed. Mole Mapping is especially important for those with a family history of skin cancer or an increased risk due to factors like frequent sunburns, fair skin, many moles, freckles, blue or green eyes, or blonde or red hair.

Derm.ca believes that mole mapping is one of the most effective ways for people to monitor their skin for year-to-year changes. By performing this procedure, a board-certified dermatologist can identify suspicious moles that may require closer examination or biopsy.
According to the Canadian Dermatology Association, 1 in 59 men and 1 in 73 women will develop melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. Mole mapping is a highly effective tool for identifying potential issues early, which is crucial because melanoma has over a 95% cure rate when caught in its initial stages. Derm.ca recommends mole mapping for anyone with a family history of skin cancer or those who have had significant sun exposure throughout their lives. Timely identification can make all the difference in successful treatment.
At Derm.ca, trained health professionals with experience in dermatology use the latest imaging technology to generate high-quality images of a patient's moles, mapped against their location on the body. These images are then assessed by Dr. Kenneth Alanen, a board-certified dermatologist, so that with each subsequent checkup, even slight changes in shape, texture, elevation, size, colour, and more can be observed.
If Derm.ca finds a suspicious mole, they will recommend a biopsy or removal. If feasible, this procedure may be done on the same day as the mapping appointment. During other treatments, such as cosmetic laser procedures, if something suspicious is noticed, CEO and Laser Treatment Specialist Ildikó Juhasz can refer patients immediately to Dr. Alanen, a board-certified dermatologist and skin cancer surgeon. No referrals are needed in this scenario, ensuring quick and efficient care for any potential skin cancer concerns.
“At our medical dermatology clinic, every effort is made for early detection of melanoma,” said a spokesperson for their team of board-accredited dermatologists. “While no technology or amount of medical training is 100% effective for early detection, we believe our approach—which combines authentic formal dermatology training, significant clinical experience and cutting-edge technology—represents the highest level of diagnostic expertise.”
