Skin Checks & Minor Surgery

Skin checks play an important role in the early detection and prevention of skin cancer. Skin cancer accounts for a significant proportion of new cancer diagnoses in Australia, with two out of three Australians expected to be diagnosed with a form of skin cancer by the age of 70. Early detection is key to effective treatment and improved outcomes.

Montier Health Langwarrin is a clinic that supports independent doctors who provide skin cancer checks and related care. These doctors may perform thorough skin examinations, assessing for suspicious spots and changes in the skin.

The clinic includes a dedicated treatment room and facilities used by doctors for full skin checks, biopsies, and minor surgical procedures where appropriate.

Skin cancer is commonly associated with exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight and tanning beds, which can damage skin cells. Signs of skin cancer may include new or changing lesions, non-healing sores, or changes in existing moles. Basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma often present as persistent or scaly lesions, while melanoma may appear as a changing mole or pigmented lesion. Any concerning skin changes should be assessed by a doctor.

Doctors consulting from the clinic offer skin checks for both new and existing patients. Please contact the clinic or book online to arrange an appointment.
