Skin Checks and Procedures Caulfield South
Did you know that skin is the largest organ of the body? It’s a pretty big deal! It plays an important role in keeping you safe. So it is always a good idea for you to take care of your skin.
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 the same for our overall health and well-being as Pap smears and bowel cancer screenings. But they are often missed or delayed. At Newbay Medical Clinic, we provide skin checks to determine skin conditions, monitor changes and detect 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. Our Bayside-based network of dermatologists, plastic surgeons and other specialists can help us with lesions, not within our practice.

Your Questions about Skin Answered
The number and type of treatments you require will vary depending upon your particular circumstances.
Because each service is unique, it can be difficult to give costs transparency. Prices vary depending on the type of procedure and equipment required. Please talk with your doctor about these issues during your appointment.
Everybody should have a skin exam, regardless of age. To determine how often you should have your skin checked, your doctor will talk to you about your risk factors. 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.
