What This Service Does—and Does Not Do
Map My Mole is best understood as focused imaging and remote consultant review of selected moles or skin lesions. It is not a whole-body examination and it does not replace face-to-face medical assessment where that is needed.
What it provides
Focused Professional Review
- High-quality images of a selected visible mole or lesion
- Remote assessment by a UK consultant dermatologist
- A digital written report with the consultant’s opinion
- Advice about whether GP or dermatologist follow-up is indicated
- A report you can show to your GP or another medical professional
What it does not provide
Not Diagnosis, Biopsy or Removal
- It is not a full-body skin examination or automatic mapping of every mole
- It cannot examine areas that are not photographed and submitted
- It does not confirm or exclude cancer through images alone
- Pulsar does not biopsy, diagnose or remove moles
- A definitive diagnosis may require face-to-face assessment and biopsy

Questions Before Booking
Clear answers about the consultant review, report, service limits, medical follow-up and clinic locations.
How does Map My Mole work at Pulsar?⌄
A trained clinic practitioner records the relevant history and captures clinical and dermoscopic images of the selected mole or skin lesion. The submission is reviewed remotely by a UK consultant dermatologist, who provides a digital report and advice on the next step.
Who reviews my mole images?⌄
The submitted images and information are reviewed by a UK consultant dermatologist through the Map My Mole service. The Pulsar practitioner captures and submits the images but does not diagnose the lesion.
How quickly will I receive my report?⌄
Map My Mole states that digital reports are usually provided within 24–48 hours after a successful submission. Occasionally more information or clearer images may be requested before an opinion can be completed.
Is this full-body mole mapping?⌄
No. This is focused dermoscopic imaging and remote consultant review of the selected mole or visible skin lesion submitted. It is not a head-to-toe skin examination and cannot assess areas that have not been photographed.
Can Map My Mole diagnose skin cancer?⌄
The consultant report provides a professional opinion from the submitted images and information, but images alone cannot give a definitive tissue diagnosis. If cancer is suspected, face-to-face medical assessment and a biopsy may be required.
What happens if the report raises concern?⌄
The report will advise you to see your GP or a dermatologist. Arrange that follow-up promptly and take the report with you. Map My Mole states that its team also follows up when a consultant reports a mole or lesion of concern.
Do you remove moles at Pulsar?⌄
No. Pulsar does not biopsy or remove moles. Any investigation or treatment recommended in the report must be arranged through your GP, NHS dermatology or an appropriate private medical specialist.
Can I book if my mole is changing or bleeding?⌄
Yes. A changing, painful, itchy, inflamed, bleeding or crusty mole should be assessed promptly. Map My Mole can provide a focused opinion from a UK consultant dermatologist, usually within 24–48 hours. You may also contact your GP directly, and you should follow any recommendation for face-to-face GP or dermatology review contained in your report.
Where are appointments available?⌄
Map My Mole appointments are available at Pulsar Laser Studio Chorley, 2 Pilkington Court, George Street, PR7 2BE, and Pulsar Laser Studio Horwich, 23 Winter Hey Lane, Horwich, Bolton BL6 7AD.
