At Richmond skin cancer clinic, you’ll get a thorough head-to-toe skin examination. Suspicious moles and lesions are imaged and sent for dermatologist review. That’s two sets of expert eyes checking ‘at risk’ moles for a trusted diagnosis.
The number of melanomas diagnosed every year is increasing. Most melanomas are caused by overexposure to UV radiation from the sun. Yet, if detected and treated early, the five-year survival rate is 94%. This is what makes a regular skin check so important.

The short answer is yes. An annual skin cancer check by a skin cancer detection expert will give you the peace of mind that your skin has been thoroughly checked. Our melanographers have the tools (such as a dermatoscope) and experience to spot signs of cancer that the naked eye might miss.
We also recommend doing an at-home skin check every three months. This is to help spot changes in your skin early. It’s important to know the signs of skin cancer to look for, as well as how to do a DIY skin check. You might also like to clue up on the symptoms of skin cancer not to be missed.
