Patient safety, enhanced by technology

DermScreen is committed to making skin checks readily available, quick, and easy. Thus, a visit to your doctor for a referral isn't required but results will be communicated to your nominated doctor to ensure continuity of care.

Your skin health visit includes 1) thorough examination by skilled melanographers 2) skin cancer risk assessment 3) detailed review by specialist dermatologist 4) storage of images for future reference and comparison for potential changing lesions 5) referral supplied if further treatment required

Our technology is safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, however due to the changes affecting the entire skin surface, the skin is best examined later or in person with our Dermatologists.

With the critical role early detection plays in skin health, Skin Health Checks are recommended for anyone who has concerns about specific moles or lesions. This advice stands particularly for those with a personal or family history of melanoma, or who have dysplastic or atypical moles, such as large, irregularly sized or shaped, or multiple moles. Also, if you've experienced past or ongoing sun exposure, whether personal or work-related, a Skin Health Check is highly encouraged.

Our Skin Check is comprehensive, offering detection for a variety of skin conditions including: Possible skin cancers Skin infections Skin rashes Indications of skin aging Alterations in skin coloration or pigmentation Certain types of hair loss
