SKIN CHECKS
A full skin check a 30 minutes appointment and costs $195. This gives the doctor the opportunity to thoroughly search by dermatoscope for any melanoma, or other skin cancers that may require intervention. This includes digital photography and lesion mapping where indicated.
However, if you only have 1 to 3 lesionsof concern, or you have been referred for a specific lesion/mole by your local General Practitioner, there is an option of a 15 minute appointment. This allows the Doctor to look at these specific lesions through dermatoscope. The cost is $95 and also includes photography and lesion mapping where indicated.
With both options, a report can be printed or emailed to you and you be advised about any potential follow-up skin checks that may be required.
We use DermEngine for lesion mapping, which has a patient interface called MoleScope.
Please note, surgery is not usually able to be performed on the same day as your initial consultation. Surgical charges vary, depending on what surgical intervention may be required, the size and location of the skin cancer/lesion. An estimated cost for your surgery will be given to you on the day of your initial skin check (so there are no surprises), followed by all other required information to prepare you for surgery. All of our surgery is performed under local anaesthetic.
