Skin Cancer Clinic Byron Bay
Skin Cancer Prevention
UV radiation can damage human skin, and potentially cause skin cancer. This occurs more frequently in fairer skin types. UV levels peak at midday each day. In summer, the peak UV radiation is more than four times stronger than in winter. Track UV levels using the SunSmart App and protect your skin when the UV is 3 or higher.Skin Checks
We offer comprehensive skin checks in our Byron Bay clinic. Schedule regular appointments for a thorough examination of your entire body (while wearing underwear). Your comfort is our top priority. We book long appointments (30 minutes) for every full body skin check. Most patients attend annually, but some may need more or less frequent visits based on their risk level.Skin Cancer Treatment
We provide various treatments for skin cancers. Depending on the type, depth and location of cancer, treatments may include medicated creams, cryotherapy (freezing), or excision (surgical removal). Excision of skin cancers is performed under local anaesthetic in our Byron Bay clinic. If required (and at your request) we can refer to other doctors for any appropriate treatments. Collaboration
We believe in working together with other healthcare professionals throughout your skin cancer journey. From initial diagnosis, through to treatment, and follow-up, we strive to collaborate with other doctors, wherever it may benefit you.
A skin check should be a comfortable and reassuring experience.
We look forward to meeting you and helping to care for your skin.
