SKIN CHECKS
SKIN CHECKS
Given our sunny climate, it is important for everyone to be on the lookout for the signs of skin cancer. We recommend that our patients report to us every 3 to 12 months for a full skin check. (Patients should also check themselves in between official check-ups.) By checking your skin regularly, you will undoubtedly notice any changes, so you can quickly get them treated.
If you are at high risk of skin cancer, we recommend a check every 3 months. Those at lower risk can arrange for a full check with our doctors every 1-2 years. This will require a longer appointment time, so please plan accordingly.
Removal of Skin Lesions
If skin lesions are found, it is important to have them removed as quickly as possible. Our practice has 2 well-equipped procedure rooms. We have all of the tools necessary to excise skin lesions, implant hormones, perform cryotherapy and repair skin lacerations on-site. Our nurses can also comprehensively assess wounds and manage their care.
