Skin Cancer Check and Diagnosis

A full-body skin checkup involves careful examination of your skin under bright light and dermatoscopy. Usually, underwear areas are not examined unless there is any concern and the patient wishes to have the areas examined. Disposable gowns are available.
Dermlite dermatoscopy has evolved as the instrument of choice for the world’s leading skin cancer experts. Precision-engineered and crafted from solid aluminum, it is the first handheld DermLite to integrate a 25mm four-element lens, which offers greatly reduced optical distortion and a sharper image across the field of view.
Twenty-one high-powered LEDs produce approximately 30% more illumination in cross-polarized mode to create a brighter image. In other words, it means that your Doctor can see all your moles and spots more closely and monitor any changes that happen more easily.
Where necessary moles are monitored with Derm-engine (a new technology that is used to take photographs of the moles that can be stored to monitor interval changes for short, medium, and long term)
Biopsy: Shave biopsy, punch biopsy, and Incision biopsy – taking a small sample of suspicious moles for further processing and microscopic examination by some of the best dermatopathologists in the country removal of suspicious moles by excision biopsy to rule out high-risk skin cancers like melanomas.

2 out of 3 Australians grow skin cancers sometime in their lifetime and it is not just a disease that impacts older people.
