Our Caboolture services

Regular skin checks are essential for early detection of skin cancer. We thoroughly examine your skin for any signs of concern during a skin check. Our team is experienced in identifying even the most minor changes that could indicate skin cancer. 

Early detection significantly improves treatment outcomes, making these checks vital to your healthcare routine. We recommend that all adults have a skin check at least once a year, especially those with a history of sun exposure or skin cancer.

Our clinic uses state-of-the-art dermatoscopes to enhance accuracy in spotting abnormalities.

Mole checks

Our mole check service focuses on identifying atypical moles that might develop into skin cancer. Using advanced imaging techniques, we monitor moles over time to detect any changes early. If a mole looks suspicious, we might recommend a biopsy to determine if it is cancerous. 

Early detection allows for early treatment, preventing the mole from developing into a more severe condition. Regular mole checks are crucial for individuals with many moles or a family history of skin cancer.

We keep a detailed record of your moles and track any changes, providing peace of mind and proactive care.

Photodynamic therapy

Photodynamic therapy is a non-invasive treatment that targets cancerous cells. This therapy uses a combination of light and a photosensitising agent to treat affected areas effectively. The photosensitising agent is applied to the skin and absorbed by the cancerous cells. When exposed to a specific type of light, the agent activates and destroys the cancerous cells. 

This treatment is ideal for superficial skin cancers and pre-cancerous lesions, offering an effective alternative to more invasive procedures. Patients appreciate the minimal discomfort and the quick recovery time associated with photodynamic therapy.

Skin cancer excision

When skin cancer is detected, excision is often necessary. Our skilled team performs this procedure precisely, removing all cancerous tissue while minimising scarring. The procedure involves numbing the area, cutting out the cancerous tissue, then stitching the wound closed. We take great care to remove the cancer entirely while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. 

Post-surgery, we provide detailed care instructions and follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing and monitor for recurrence. Our clinic has advanced surgical tools to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible.

Total Body Photography skin cancer detection

Total Body Photography helps to track and detect skin cancer with high accuracy. This technique involves taking detailed photographs of your skin surface, creating a comprehensive record that can be compared over time. By monitoring changes in your skin, we can detect potential issues early, even before they become visible to the naked eye.

This method is ideal for individuals with many moles or freckles, as it allows for precise tracking of each spot. 

Total body photography is valuable for early detection and effective skin cancer treatment. Patients find this approach reassuring, as it offers a thorough and systematic way to monitor skin health.
