Melanoma Treatment
Sevenoaks
Clinics in East Grinstead, Maidstone, Sevenoaks, Caterham, Orpington and Oxted
We can now offer melanoma treatment at our new clinic in Sevenoaks.
At The Ü Clinic, we recognise the seriousness of melanoma and the critical role early detection and expert care play in its management. Melanoma is an aggressive type of skin cancer that originates from melanocytes, the pigment-producing cells in the skin. While it represents a smaller proportion of skin cancer cases, it is especially dangerous because of its rapid potential to spread to other parts of the body.
Melanoma Treatment and Advanced Mole Mapping at The Ü Clinic
At The Ü Clinic, our experienced team is dedicated to delivering expert and compassionate care, using advanced technology such as AI-powered Fotofinder mole mapping to support early detection and achieve the best possible outcomes for our patients.
What is Melanoma? Understanding Risk Factors and Early Signs
Melanoma is often linked to UV exposure from the sun or artificial sources such as tanning beds, though it can also develop in areas not typically exposed to sunlight. Individuals with fair skin, a history of sunburn, numerous moles, or a family history of melanoma are at increased risk. Early detection is vital, and we encourage regular self-examinations of your skin.
The “ABCDE” rule is a helpful guide for spotting warning signs of melanoma:
- Asymmetry: One half of the mole doesn’t match the other.
- Border: Edges are irregular, notched, or blurred.
- Colour: Uneven shades or multiple colorus in a single mole.
- Diameter: Larger than 6mm (about the size of a pencil eraser).
- Evolving: Any change in size, shape, or colour.
If you observe any of these signs, it’s important to have the mole assessed by a specialist as soon as possible.
Advanced Mole Mapping with Fotofinder and AI Technology
At The Ü Clinic, we utilise the advanced Fotofinder mole mapping system, enhanced with artificial intelligence (AI), to support the early detection and monitoring of melanoma. Fotofinder creates a detailed, full-body map of your moles and skin lesions, allowing us to accurately track any changes over time. The AI technology examines each mole, identifying subtle changes that might be missed by the human eye. This innovative system helps our specialists detect suspicious moles early, even in patients with numerous moles or complex skin patterns.
During your appointment, our specialists will combine a thorough visual examination with Fotofinder’s AI-driven analysis to evaluate each mole. If any mole appears concerning, we may recommend a biopsy to determine if melanoma or other skin conditions are present. This cutting-edge mole mapping approach offers patients reassurance and an important safeguard against skin cancer.
Treatment Options for Melanoma at The Ü Clinic
If melanoma is diagnosed, The Ü Clinic provides a range of treatment options tailored to the cancer’s stage and extent. For early-stage melanoma, surgical excision to remove the affected tissue is often highly effective. Our skilled surgeons aim to completely remove the melanoma while minimising visible scarring, ensuring both medical and cosmetic confidence for patients.
In more advanced cases, we may recommend a sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) to check if the cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes. If melanoma is detected in the lymph nodes, additional treatments such as lymph node dissection, immunotherapy, or targeted therapy may be required. Throughout your treatment journey, our team is committed to offering personalised care and support tailored to your unique needs.
