Skin Checks and Procedures Sandringham
Did you know that the skin is the largest organ in the body? It’s quite important! Your skin plays a critical role when it comes to keeping you safe, so it’s always a good idea to look after it as well as it looks after you.
While your skin helps to protect you from the outside world, it can develop problems of its own. A skin check can help you determine if it’s a dangerous mole, or a smudge left over from your kids’ breakfast.
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. Newbay Medical Clinic performs skin checks to detect and monitor skin conditions. 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. For lesions outside of our scope of practice, we call upon our trusted referral network of dermatologists and plastic surgeons in the Bayside area.

Your Skin Questions Answered
The number and type of treatments you require will vary depending upon your particular circumstances.
It is difficult to provide cost transparency with such an individualised service, as costs vary widely depending on the required procedure, how long it may take, and the equipment needed. Please talk with your doctor about these issues during your appointment.
Everybody should have a skin exam, regardless of age. Your doctor can discuss your skin risks with you and determine how often your skin should be 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.
The majority of skin cancers are caused by ultraviolet (UV), but genes, chemicals, and other factors can cause skin cancer anywhere on the body.
