Paddington Skin

The Photo-bio modulation (PBM) setting on our K-laser can help with slow to heal wounds and ulcers, especially those below the knee. If you have a slow to heal wound, or need to have a biopsy or excision below the knee, come and talk to us about some PBM laser sessions to help your wound heal faster! 😃

When is the best time of year to have a skin check? Dr Tim Lynch discusses the pros and cons of having skin checks through different seasons of the year 🍂 ❄️🌷🌞

Dr Kylie talking about the most common type of skin cancer and what to look for 👀 All skin cancers are much easier to treat when they’re small and caught early. When was your last skin check?

Dr Kylie with a reminder that not all skin cancer might look like skin cancer.

How we use your family history to help us with your skin check and the important information we’d like to know! 👍🏼

A full skin check is recommended every 12 months for most adults living in Queensland, but do you know what to look out for on your skin between checks?

A handy acronym to help you remember is SCAN your skin. Dr Kylie explains here in more detail what to look for:

S - soreness of a spot or a spot that’s not healing or keeps bleeding
C - changing. Any spot on your skin that is changing in size, shape, colour or texture is worthwhile us having a look.
A - abnormal. Any spot that just doesn’t look right or stands out among the surrounding skin and other spots. We often call this the ‘ugly duckling’ sign
N - new. A spot, particularly a new mole would definitely be something we’d want to check, particularly if it is changing or growing quickly.

If you notice any of these, don’t wait for your next scheduled skin check! Book a spot check’ with us so we can give you our expert opinion and work out a good plan of action 😃
