Booked Scans:

To ensure the most accurate thermal heat maps, please follow these simple preparation guidelines.

Please read the instructions below carefully. Thermal imaging is highly sensitive to heat sources, so avoiding certain activities before your scan helps us capture a clear and accurate "thermal fingerprint" of your body.

*A thermal image scan DOES NOT replace an ultrasound, mammogram or MRI and is NOT a medical diagnostic tool.

Before Your Appointment (On the Day)

  • To avoid artificial heat patterns (artifacts) on your images, please observe the following:
  • 2 Hours Before: Avoid vigorous exercise, large meals, smoking, and excessively hot baths or showers.
  • Skin Products: Do not apply lotions, creams, oils, or antiperspirants from the waist up (or anywhere on the body for a full-body scan).
  • Sun & Heat: Avoid sunbathing, tanning beds, or deep-tissue massages on the day of your scan.
  • Grooming: Avoid shaving or dry body brushing on the day of your appointment.
  • Hair: If you have long hair, please bring a clip or hair tie to pin it up off your neck.
  • Clothing: Wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing. Please avoid wearing a bra immediately prior to the scan if possible to reduce pressure marks.

Important Note regarding treatments:

  • Please avoid acupuncture for 3 days prior to your appointment.
  • Please avoid physical therapy or electromyography on the day of your appointment.

During Your Appointment

  • Arrival: Please arrive on time so we can review your health questionnaire and discuss your history.
  • Skin Issues: Please inform your thermographer of any recent sunburn, skin lesions, or scratches, as these can appear as "heat spots" on the images and affect the accuracy of the reading.
  • The Scan: You will be asked to remove clothing and jewellery from the area being scanned. A private changing area and gown will be provided.
  • Privacy: Your scan is performed by a Certified Thermographer and is completely private. You are welcome to bring a chaperone or partner into the room with you.
  • Duration: Appointments typically last 30 minutes for a breast or single-region study. Full-body scans may take up to 60 minutes to allow your body temperature to acclimatise to the room.

Forms & Questionnaires

We recommend downloading and completing your health questionnaire before you arrive to save time. If you cannot print it, don't worry—we can complete it together during your acclimatisation period.

Special Circumstances:

  • Pregnancy: We are unable to establish a reliable thermal baseline during pregnancy.
  • Breastfeeding: We recommend waiting until 3 months after you have finished breastfeeding before booking your scan to ensuring hormonal heat patterns have settled.
 
Reporting
 
Your images will be analysed by our remote medical team. If you would like a copy of your report sent to your GP or healthcare provider, please bring their name and address details with you.
 
Reminder: This service is for health monitoring and screening. It does not replace standard medical diagnostics like mammograms. If you have immediate symptoms, please consult your GP.
