The Scanning Experience
When you arrive at the clinic, you'll be welcomed into a comfortable, professional environment. The actual scanning process is remarkably quick and completely non-invasive. You'll step into the VECTRA WB360 imaging booth, and within just a few seconds, 92 cameras capture detailed images of your entire skin surface simultaneously. There's no discomfort, no prodding, and no lengthy procedures—just a brief moment while the technology does its work.
The advanced system creates a comprehensive 3D map of your skin, documenting every mole and lesion with incredible precision. This becomes your baseline record, stored securely for future comparisons.
Your Skin Assessment Consultation
Following your scan, you'll meet with one of Sinclair Dermatology's experienced dermatologists for a comprehensive skin check consultation. They'll review your images with you, explain any areas of interest, and answer all your questions. The consultation is thorough yet relaxed, giving you time to understand your skin health without feeling rushed.
If any lesions require closer examination, additional dermoscopy images can be captured and attached to your 3D record. Your dermatologist will discuss any findings clearly and recommend next steps if needed.
Peace of Mind
The entire visit is designed to be stress-free and reassuring. You'll leave with a complete understanding of your skin health, a detailed baseline for future monitoring, and the confidence that comes from accessing world-class technology and expertise. Regular visits become simple check-ins, with your dermatologist comparing new scans against previous ones to track any changes over time.
