The Importance of Yearly Skin Checks
As the Autumn air starts to cool, it’s a perfect time to reflect on the long lazy Summer spent swimming, barbecuing, having fun, and perhaps, the toll your skin had from all that sun play.
It’s vital, just like going to the dentist or getting your eyes tested once a year as the cost of the oasis we call home means you "MUST" get your skin checked annually.
Here are the hard facts:
ONE person is diagnosed with melanoma every 30 minutes.
Tragically, ONE person dies every 6 hours from melanoma in Australia.
Melanoma is the most common cancer in Australians aged between 20-39.
Given these alarming statistics, it's crucial for everyone to prioritise regular skin checks to protect themselves and their loved ones. An annual appointment can literally save your life.
And for the cost of your daily coffee per week over a year, it's an investment in your health and wellbeing. Wouldn't you agree?
The doctors at Northern Beaches Skin Cancer Clinic (NBSCC) in Warriewood are at the forefront of skin health. They excel at detecting harmful skin damage caused by the Australian sun and even saved Megan, the Creative Director at Beaches COVERED., by diagnosing her melanomas a few years ago.
Why choose NBSCC? What makes them stand out from the rest?
Expert Specialist Doctors
It's reassuring to know that at NBSCC, the doctors are highly skilled and accredited by the Skin Cancer College of Australasia. They are passionate about early detection, particularly of melanoma, and utilise advanced tools such as the dermatoscope. Visit the NBSCC website to learn more about this innovative technology which can identify threats that may be invisible to the naked eye. Early detection is paramount as melanomas can be curable if caught early. Your skin health is their top priority.
Cutting-Edge Technology
NBSCC's clinic takes pride in utilising state-of-the-art technology for imaging moles and monitoring lesions which aids in early detection and treatment tracking. This invaluable tool is also employed to monitor the response of other skin cancers to non-surgical treatments. Their Total Body Photography system utilises AI which has the capability to detect new or changing lesions at follow-up visits, making it particularly beneficial for high-risk patients.
Recognised Excellence
NBSCC utilises the same technology and software as the Melanoma Institute of Australia, recently highlighted on Channel 9 news.
Compassionate Care
NBSCC understands the anxiety of undergoing a skin cancer check. Their staff are not only kind and courteous, but also empathetic, ensuring your appointment is as comfortable as possible.
