Pre-Appointment Instructions

 Before Your Visit

To ensure that your thermography images are as accurate as possible; the following pre-appointment instructions should be observed:

• Do not wear restrictive clothing such as a bra before the appointment
• Tie your hair up and do not wear jewellery around the neck area (just for the imaging)
• No prolonged sun exposure (especially sunburn) to the breasts 5 days prior to your exam
• No use of lotions, creams, powders, or makeup on the breasts the day of the appointment
• No use of deodorants or antiperspirants the day of your appointment
• No physical stimulation or treatment of the breasts for 24 hours before the appointment
• No exercise 4 hours prior to your appointment
• No hot drinks 1 hour prior to your appointment
• No underarm shaving on the day of the appointment to avoid skin abrasions
• If bathing, it must be at least 1 hour before the appointment
• Avoid smoking at least 1 hour before the appointment

Please note

All of our appointments are with female technicians.

During your appointment you will disrobe from the waist up to allow for the surface temperature of the body to acclimatise to the room temperature (approximately 20 degrees Celsius) and for the thermography imaging procedure. You will be requested to sign an authorisation and release form before proceeding with imaging. Prior surgical procedures such as implants, reductions, and biopsies do not interfere with infrared imaging and breast imaging is 100% safe.
