What happens during a skin cancer check
A skin cancer check is more than a glance at your skin. At our clinic, you’ll receive:
- A full assessment of your skin, including areas you may not routinely inspect yourself.
- Use of specialised tools (such as dermatoscopes) if required to examine moles, spots or other lesions more closely.
- A detailed discussion of your individual risk factors: sun exposure, skin type, and personal or family history of skin cancer.
- Clear advice on when a lesion may warrant further investigation or surveillance rather than immediate surgical removal.
- If changes are detected, a tailored plan to address next steps monitoring, biopsy or removal so that you are fully informed and actively involved in your care.
By offering this in-depth service, our skin cancer clinic ensures you benefit from proactive screening that is both thorough and patient-centred.
When and how skin cancer surgery comes into play
If a lesion is identified as needing removal, our clinic offers the appropriate surgical option. Surgery is generally recommended when:
- A lesion is confirmed or highly suspected to be a basal-cell carcinoma or squamous-cell carcinoma.
- A mole or lesion has changed significantly in size, colour or behaviour.
- A suspicious area presents in a location that warrants prompt removal to reduce the risk of spread or complications.
Our surgical service is carried out under local anaesthesia in most cases. We aim for minimal disruption, efficient healing and the best possible cosmetic outcome. After the procedure, our practitioners provide clear wound care instructions, advice on when to return and guidelines on sun-protection and long-term surveillance.

Protecting your skin going forward
Even after a skin cancer check or surgery, ongoing care matters. Key points include:
- Maintain regular skin cancer checks, especially if you have had previous lesions removed or you have higher risk factors.
- Protect your skin from ultraviolet (UV) exposure by wearing broad-brimmed hats, protective clothing and high-SPF sunscreen when in the sun.
- Monitor your own skin: note any new growths, or changes to existing moles, freckles or spots. If in doubt, book a skin cancer check.
- Keep a record of any lesions treated or removed, and ensure follow-up visits are scheduled as recommended.
By staying vigilant and working in partnership with our team, you can significantly reduce the chances of progression or recurrence of skin cancer.

Frequently Asked Questions
A skin cancer screening or skin cancer check involves a visual inspection of your skin by a trained practitioner, examining moles, spots and other lesions. If warranted, magnified tools are used, and you’ll receive advice on whether further action is required.
The interval between checks depends on your personal risk. Factors such as previous skin cancers, family history, sun exposure and skin type all influence the recommended frequency. Our clinic will advise you based on your individual situation.
After a lesion is removed (skin cancer surgery), you’ll receive wound‐care instructions and scheduled follow-up in our clinic. It’s important to attend follow-up visits so we can monitor healing and screen for any new lesions.
Most surgeries are performed under local anaesthesia, so you should feel no pain during the procedure. Some mild discomfort or soreness may occur during recovery, and we’ll provide guidance on pain relief and care.
Yes. Our clinic accepts appointments for skin cancer checks, screening and minor surgery without a specialist referral. If a specialist referral is necessary, our team will guide you accordingly.
If you discover a new lesion or notice changes in an existing spot (size, colour, border, texture), it’s best to arrange a skin cancer check promptly. Early review means better outcomes.
