We provide thorough skin examinations to identify any suspicious lesions or abnormalities that could indicate skin cancer. Our experienced skin cancer doctors use various techniques, such as visual inspection and dermoscopy, to detect early signs of skin cancer.
Images are captured and safely stored using the DermEngine Software which will give you access to all images taken.
If a suspicious lesion is identified during the screening, we offer biopsy services to obtain a tissue sample for further analysis. Our clinic collaborates with Western Australia’s leading expert pathologists at Clinipath who specialise in dermatopathology to ensure accurate diagnosis.
Our team of dermatopathologists regularly contribute to the Melanoma Institute here in WA (WAKMAS).
We perform surgical excisions to remove skin cancer tumours and surrounding healthy tissue. This procedure is often used for larger or deeper skin cancers. Our skilled skin cancer doctors prioritise both effective removal of the cancerous tissue and optimal cosmetic results.
Cryotherapy involves freezing abnormal skin cells using liquid nitrogen. This technique is commonly used for superficial skin cancers or precancerous lesions. Cryotherapy is a quick and relatively painless treatment option that requires little to no downtime.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a non-invasive treatment option for certain types of skin cancer, particularly superficial basal cell carcinoma and actinic keratosis. It involves applying a photosensitizing agent to the skin and then exposing it to a specific wavelength of light to destroy cancer cells.
Keratinocyte cancers, including basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and superficial squamous cell carcinoma (IEC / Bowens Disease), are common types of skin cancer. Topical treatments are often considered for certain superficial or early lesions. It’s important to note that the choice of treatment depends on factors such as the type, size, location, and extent of the cancer.
Artificial Intelligence has accelerated our ability to care for patients in all areas of medicine. In skin cancer medicine we now have the ability to get AI to map your moles on an annual basis and be alerted to any new or changing mole earlier.
While not everyone needs or will benefit from TBP it is an excellent adjunct to your regular skin checks for those with a past history of melanoma, more than 100 moles or identified as a high risk group.
After any treatment, we provide comprehensive follow-up care with our excellent nursing team. Having a skin cancer means you are much more likely to get further skin cancers so surveillance to monitor your skin and ensure early detection of any recurrence or new skin cancer development is essential.
Our clinic is dedicated to raising awareness about skin cancer prevention. We offer educational resources and guidance on sun protection measures, early detection, self-examination, and lifestyle modifications to minimize the risk of developing skin cancer. (See patient information section).
Sebaceous cysts and lipomas are common benign skin growths that can occur in various parts of the body. While they are typically non-cancerous and harmless, they can be troublesome and cosmetic concerns.
Our handpicked team of doctors, nurses and health professionals are here to make a meaningful difference to your life, at every stage of your life.
Please note that the specific services offered at our skin cancer clinic may vary depending on the expertise of our medical professionals and the available resources. We are committed to delivering personalised care tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
