Comprehensive Skin Checks at Woolloongabba Skin Clinic
The Skin Cancer Hub provides full-body skin examinations that cover every area of your skin. Skilled doctors use specialised tools such as dermoscopy for a detailed analysis. Each examination is thorough and clear.
You do not need a referral for an examination. Quick diagnostic tests like biopsies are available when needed. A second clinic at The Skin Cancer Hub on Ipswich Road offers further care options.
Advanced Skin Treatments Offered
Our clinic leads in modern skin cancer treatment. State-of-the-art facilities include two operating rooms and dedicated treatment areas.
The treatments we offer include a range of proven methods. Surgery remains the main treatment where doctors remove cancer while preserving healthy skin. Cryosurgery freezes and kills cancer cells for small surface spots.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) uses a special light and cream to target cancer cells safely. LED light therapy calms the skin and reduces redness after other procedures.
Mole removal takes place in our clean surgery rooms with local pain relief. Mohs surgery removes cancer layer by layer with microscopic examination of each piece.
Skin grafts reposition healthy skin over areas where cancer was removed, and flap surgery uses nearby skin for larger repairs. Advanced camera systems help detect early skin changes.
