Comprehensive Skin Checks
Your First Step to Healthy Skin
At our Launceston Skin Clinic, one of our most valuable services is the full-body skin check—a thorough head-to-toe examination by our experienced practitioners designed to detect any signs of skin cancer or other skin concerns early.
What to Expect During a Skin Check
-
Advanced Digital Dermoscopy:
Using high-resolution, magnified imaging, we examine every mole and lesion closely, revealing suspicious spots invisible to the naked eye and tracking subtle changes over time. -
Full-Body Examination:
Our doctors carefully inspect your skin from scalp to toes, including areas usually hidden from the sun, ensuring nothing is missed. -
Personalised Education:
We’ll explain what we find and teach you how to understand your skin better, empowering you to monitor changes between visits. -
Targeted Spot Checks Available:
If you’re concerned about just one or two areas, we offer focused “spot checks” — no worry is too small to investigate.
Follow-Up & Ongoing Care
- We provide focused follow-ups to monitor your skin and catch any new or returning issues early.
- Regular skin checks with our team are an easy, proactive way to protect your skin health — no referral needed, just book when you’re ready.
If Something Unusual is Found
-
On-the-Spot Biopsy:
We can take a small sample of any suspicious lesion during your visit for quick and accurate lab analysis. -
Prompt Skin Cancer Treatment:
From non-surgical options like cryotherapy to surgical removal of skin cancers, our clinic is fully equipped to provide safe, effective treatment on-site. -
State-of-the-Art Minor Surgery Suite:
Suspicious moles or cancers are removed under local anaesthesia in a sterile, comfortable environment, with skilled practitioners dedicated to your care.
Why Regular Skin Checks Matter
Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world. Early detection is critical:
-
Melanoma:
The most serious skin cancer, often curable with minor surgery when found early. -
Basal Cell & Squamous Cell Carcinomas:
Common skin cancers that can cause significant damage if untreated.
Our clinic prioritizes early detection because it saves lives and reduces the need for extensive treatment.
