Skin Cancer
Our Specialist Dermatologists provide expert care in diagnosing, treating, and managing all types of skin cancer, with a focus on early detection and personalised treatment in a supportive, professional setting.
Our dermatology-led approach means:
Comprehensive skin checks using advanced diagnostic techniques
Surgical and non-surgical treatments tailored to your needs
On-site biopsies and lesion removal with precision and minimal scarring
Priority appointments for urgent or suspicious spots
You may benefit from a specialist skin check if you:
Have multiple moles or a history of significant sun exposure
Have a personal or family history of skin cancer
Notice any spots that are new, changing, or look different from others (the “ugly duckling” rule)

Treatment Options
-
Surgery remains the most effective treatment for many skin cancers, including all melanomas and advanced BCCs or SCCs. At Clinic One, we offer:
Outpatient surgery under local anaesthetic
Complex excisions with flap or graft repair when needed
Inpatient options under sedation or general anaesthetic for more extensive cases
Surgical treatment tends to have the highest cure rate. Most procedures are quick and Medicare-subsidised, making them both effective and accessible. Some scarring is expected with any form of treatment, but our dermatologists aim to minimise this wherever possible.
-
For early or superficial non-melanoma skin cancers, your dermatologist may recommend curettage and cautery — a quick, cost-effective option.
Performed under local anaesthetic
Cancerous cells are scraped off and the area is cauterised
Heals like a superficial graze, usually within 2–3 weeks
Often results in a small, flat white scar
Despite being an older technique, it remains highly effective for select cases.
-
PDT is a non-surgical option for certain early skin cancers and pre-cancers.
A special cream is applied to the skin and absorbed by abnormal cells
After several hours, the area is exposed to a specific red light
Damaged cells are selectively destroyed while healthy skin is preserved
Healing occurs over the following week, with minimal scarring. PDT is best suited to superficial lesions — your dermatologist will advise if it’s appropriate for you
-
Your Dermatologist can recommend a range of topical treatments for skin cancer, tailored to your clinical diagnosis and biopsy results.
