Living in Australia you have a higher risk of skin damage as a result of increased exposure to the sun. Australians have a 2 in 3 chance of developing skin cancer in their lifetime. A simple yearly skin check can detect issues early and can save your life. Melanoma affects about 1 in 30 people in Australia and kills more than a 1000 people a year.
Not all moles are dangerous but sometimes the location can be annoying causing irritation. At Melanoma Scan we perform cosmetic mole removal with simple in-house surgical procedures.
Skin tags are small benign growths attached to the skin by a small thin stalk. Skin tag removal is a simple process completed by a doctor. Removing skin tags at home can be painful and often bleed heavily or become infected.
Our skin cancer doctors are also skilled surgeons. This means that if a skin cancer is found, the Doctor can remove the lesion at the time of the initial consultation. A biopsy is always performed to identity the type of skin cancer and if further treatment options are required.
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a unique way to treat thin cancers, sun damaged, blemished and aged skin on all areas of the body.
A focus on cosmetic procedures is used in all applications in the clinic.
