SKIN CANCER CHECKS SAVE LIVES
Skin cancer is a prevalent and potentially life-threatening condition that affects millions of people worldwide.
A skin cancer screening is a crucial preventive tool designed to detect skin cancer in its earliest and most treatable stages.
While it may seem like a straightforward process, understanding the importance of regular skin cancer screenings is key to safeguarding your health.
Skin Cancer Check
A skin cancer screening check involves a thorough examination of your skin by a qualified healthcare professional. During the screening, the doctor carefully inspects your skin, looking for any suspicious moles, lesions, or irregularities. They will use FotoFinder, latest digital image technology, to assess and monitor your moles.
Mole-Mapping
Mole-mapping technology is the use of advanced digital imaging system designed to create a precise and detailed map of your skin, particularly focusing on moles and other skin irregularities. This technique utilizes high-resolution cameras and specialized software to capture and analyze images of your skin, allowing for the early detection of any changes or abnormalities.

ADVANCED SKIN CANCER CENTRE PROCEDURES
Excision & Biopsy
A biopsy is often the first step in the evaluation of abnormal skin lesions. This procedure involves the removal of a small sample of the suspicious tissue for examination under a microscope. The goal is to determine whether the lesion is benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy, often referred to as “freezing therapy,” is a non-invasive medical technique used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including early-stage skin cancers and benign lesions. It involves the application of extremely cold temperatures, typically using liquid nitrogen, to freeze and destroy the abnormal tissue.
Cosmetic Mole Removal
When it comes to the removal of skin lesions for cosmetic reasons, precision, minimal discomfort, and a favorable end result are paramount concerns. The Ellman Pelleve Electrosurgery device, harnessing the power of radiofrequency electrocautery, represents a cutting-edge solution for individuals seeking fast, effective, safe, and aesthetically pleasing lesion removal.
FOTOFINDER
Our clinics use FotoFinder Vexia with Medicam 1000s Advanced Digital Skin Cancer Imaging Technology to capture, analyze, and store high-resolution images of your skin lesions for comparison over time to assess for changes of concern.
