What is dermatology?

As the largest organ of your body, your skin can be affected by a large number of conditions — from minor blemishes such as scars or birthmarks to cancers resulting from years of sun exposure. Our experienced skin care experts diagnose and treat a full range of skin problems such as acne and infections, as well as inflammatory skin diseases like rosacea, eczema and psoriasis.

We provide comprehensive mole evaluation and the removal of benign (non-cancerous) skin lesions, including warts. If you have been diagnosed with skin cancer, our multidisciplinary teams of dermatologists, plastic surgeons, pathologists and oncologists use their combined expertise to deliver treatment for everything from basal cell carcinoma (BCC) to malignant melanoma.

We also offer expertise in cosmetic dermatology to improve the appearance of blemishes, scars and age-related skin problems using laser treatment, injections and chemical peels.

The surgery removes the skin in thin layers, each layer is analysed under a microscope, the process is repeated until no further cancer cells are present.Mohs surgery is recommended...

Scar revision

If you have a scar caused by an injury or a previous surgery, revision treatment can minimise the appearance of old and new scar tissue – including keloid scars, contractures and facial scars. Depending on the size and location of your scar, your consultant will recommend the best treatment for you.
