At One Health Clinics, we offer comprehensive skin checks and treatments to help detect and manage skin conditions early, including skin cancer. Our doctors are experienced in identifying areas of concern and providing evidence-based treatment options in a safe and caring environment.
A full skin check involves a detailed examination of your skin to identify any suspicious lesions or signs of sun damage that may increase your future risk of skin cancer.
A biopsy involves removing a small sample of skin tissue (by scraping, punch, or excision) for laboratory testing. This allows your doctor to make an accurate diagnosis and determine the most appropriate management plan, including melanoma treatment when required.
Cryotherapy uses liquid nitrogen to freeze and destroy abnormal or cancerous cells. This treatment effectively removes lesions while minimising damage to surrounding healthy skin.
Excision involves removing a lesion along with a margin of healthy tissue to ensure that all cancerous or precancerous cells are removed. The area is then carefully closed with sutures. It’s important to check skin cancer regularly to catch any changes that may require excision.
Your doctor will discuss any recommended treatments, explain the process in detail, and provide information about potential costs before proceeding.
