Skin Checks and Procedures Bentleigh
Did you know that skin is the largest organ of the body? It’s an important organ! It is a very important part of your safety, so take care of it!
Although your skin is designed to protect you from the external world, there are some problems that can occur. When you’re unsure if that’s a dangerous mole or a smudge from the kids’ breakfast (and we’ve all been there), a skin check can make all the difference.
Skin Checks at Newbay Medical Clinic
Skin checks are just like important for our overall well-being and health as bowel screenings and regular Pap tests. However, they’re often ignored or delayed. Newbay Medical Clinic offers skin checks to assess skin conditions, detect changes, and monitor for potential skin cancers. Finding a skin cancer lesion early can be the difference between an in-office 30-minute procedure and needing a large area resected by a plastic surgeon, so when you notice a change, don’t delay in getting it checked out!
Our Skin Procedures
At Newbay Medical Clinic, we provide skin checks and identify and remove lesions whenever possible. We refer to the Bayside’s trusted network of dermatologists as well as plastic surgeons for any lesions beyond our scope of expertise.

Your Skin Questions Answered
The number of treatments you may need will vary depending on your individual circumstances, such as your skin condition and the size and location of any lesions.
With such a personal service it is difficult to give cost transparency as the costs can vary depending on what the procedure will take and how much equipment is needed. These should be discussed with the doctor during the appointment.
Everyone should have their skin checked, regardless of their age. Your doctor will discuss with you your skin’s risks and recommend how often you should have it checked. Over-50s are more likely to develop skin cancers so it is recommended that you have your skin checked at the very least once a calendar year.
Although ultraviolet (UV) radiation is the most common cause of skin cancer, genetics and other factors like chemicals and pollutants can also lead to skin cancer.
