Skin Cancer Checks – Early Detection Saves Lives
 

Queensland has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world, making regular skin checks essential for early detection and treatment. Skin cancer can develop anywhere on the body, even in areas not exposed to the sun. The good news is that early detection greatly improves treatment outcomes.
 

Why Regular Skin Checks Matter
 

• Early detection saves lives – Skin cancer is highly treatable when found early.

• Your skin changes over time – New spots or changes in moles can indicate potential issues.

• Australia’s high UV exposure – Even if you use sunscreen, regular checks are important.
   

What to Expect During a Skin Cancer Check
 

A whole-body skin check is a simple, non-invasive appointment with one of our experienced doctors. They will carefully examine your skin, including areas you may not be able to see yourself. If anything unusual is found, we can discuss the next steps, which may include monitoring, biopsy, or treatment.
 

Advanced Skin Cancer Detection – Digital Mole Scanning
 

Our clinic is equipped with a Digital Mole Scan Machine, which helps in the early detection of skin cancer. This advanced technology:

✅ Takes high-resolution images of moles and skin lesions
✅ Tracks changes over time for more accurate diagnosis
✅ Helps identify suspicious spots that may need further examination

​

This painless, fast, and highly effective tool allows our doctors to detect skin cancer earlier than with a standard visual check.

How Often Should You Have a Skin Check?

• Have a fair complexion or a family history of skin cancer

• Notice any changes in moles or new spots
