SunSkin Clinic in Keysborough

Welcome to SunSkin Clinic in Keysborough, Australia! We are a dedicated institution focused on providing a no-nonsense approach to diagnosing and treating skin cancer. Our team of highly skilled doctors and nurses have a special interest in the management of skin cancer and are committed to supporting our patients through the constant threat of skin cancer formation.

Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, largely due to our exposure to the sun. Shockingly, two out of three Australians will develop skin cancer by the age of 70. The most common types of skin cancer in Australia are melanomas, squamous cell carcinomas, and basal cell carcinomas, each with their own unique traits and characteristics. Some may appear as dark moles, while others may have a pinkish appearance.

It is crucial to be aware of the ABCDE of skin cancers, as early detection plays a vital role in successful treatment. Our experienced professionals are trained to efficiently diagnose and manage skin cancer, taking into account a myriad of factors that may indicate its presence.

A skin consult and full body skin check are essential components of skin cancer prevention and management. During this process, which typically takes around 20 minutes, our doctors will carefully examine your skin for any suspicious spots or lesions. We kindly ask that you wear loose and comfortable clothing on the day of your appointment to ensure a smoother experience.

If necessary, our doctors will arrange for the removal of any suspicious spots or lesions. The type of procedure and its urgency will be determined clinically and thoroughly explained to you. Fortunately, the majority of skin cancers, when detected early, can be effectively managed in our clinic. Follow-up appointments and the frequency of further checks will be determined based on your individual risk factors and discussed with you.

For those seeking comprehensive skin cancer detection, we offer Total Body Imaging, an advanced technique that allows us to detect and monitor all lesions on your body. By storing, mapping, and analyzing images, we can effectively identify changes to the skin over time. Combined with a Full Body Skin Cancer Check, this technology provides peace of mind for your skin cancer care.

Despite the ongoing pandemic, we prioritize the safety of our patients and team. We may ask you questions related to COVID-19 symptoms or risks and require the use of masks during consultations. Your doctor will discuss the management of any procedures, carefully weighing the risks and concerns associated with skin cancer.

At SunSkin Clinic, we are dedicated to providing exceptional care and support in the fight against skin cancer. Book your appointment today and let us be your trusted partner in skin health.
