What are Skin Checks?

At Peninsula Skin Cancer Centre we understand that all skin is different, so we now provide a full skin check service.  As part of this service, one of our melanographers performs a systematic total body check using hand held dermoscopy.  No photos are taken during this session, however a doctor will then see each patient to conclude the consultation.  Each total body skin check takes up to half an hour and is a good option for individuals who do not have a lot of moles. 
 
Each skin check costs $70 at the time of consultation and $34.90 is claimable from Medicare.  All aged pensioners and patients over the age of 75 are fully bulk billed for this service.
