Skin Cancer Medicine

Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world with 2 in 3 Australian’s developing skin cancer before the age of 70. The good news is 95% of skin cancer can be successfully treated if detected early.

Our Focus: Early Detection

At Southern Skin Clinic, we prioritise early detection - combining medical expertise with cutting-edge skin visualisation technology. We use high-resolution dermatoscopes capable of up to 400x magnification, allowing us to investigate every skin lesion thoroughly and detect even the subtlest signs of change.

What We Detect

Our technology enables us to assess and diagnose:

  • Melanoma

  • Basal cell carcinoma

  • Squamous cell carcinoma

  • And other common skin cancers

The Science: Whole-Skin Monitoring

Recent studies show that 71% of melanomas develop de novo, meaning they arise on previously healthy skin, not from existing moles.

To detect these early:

​

  • We combine automated total-body skin mapping with video dermatoscopy. 

  • This “two-step method” is the most advanced monitoring system available, trusted by opinion leaders globally.

Did You Know?
More than two-thirds of all melanomas form on previously healthy skin, not pre-existing moles. This is why monitoring your entire skin, not just individual spots, is essential.

How Often Should I Have My Skin Checked?

This depends on your personal risk, but generally:

Medium to high-risk patients should be scanned at least twice per year.

​

This frequency offers near 100% protection against deadly skin cancers like invasive melanoma.
